Also, my Home airfield setting has gone, so have had to set that again. Is this all expected? I checked the "Help" and "About" sections and it doesn't look like a new version has been pushed yet. This is on Android..

It does sound like perhaps the configuration saved by SkyDemon your device has been lost or is unreadable though, which would probably result in you seeing the first-time setup page again. If you have ever saved your settings into the cloud (which is a good idea) you can simply load them again from the Setup menu.

I did click on "Load Settings from Cloud" and it has restored some, but not all settings (BLE connection to my Aero Tracker is missing). Maybe a SkyDemon prompt to the user to Save settings, perhaps every month or so? Should ALL SkyDemon settings be saved to the cloud, when I select that option?

Group: Forum Members Posts: 393, Visits: 2.6K	Could it be possible for the SkyDemon app to be able to generate a list of all user settings? Then be able to send that list by e-mail for printing? Trying to remember ALL one's settings is quite a challenge when something like this happens. If it was possible to keep a printed list, then it would be easy to get SkyDemon settings back to what they should be. Incidentally, speaking to a friend of mine today, he discovered that some of his SD options have disappeared/changed. When he selects "Fly" his GDL90 and PAW external device options have disappeared.....

However, what about a reminder to back up settings? It is easy to forget.. What about a reminder/prompt similar to SkyDemon asking for pilot feedback after visiting an airfield?
