AmsatDroidFree Update
by David Johnson 11 Aug '14

11 Aug '14

Hi, I have just released a new version 1.0.7 of the application which fixes a problem whereby viewing the SkyMap was causing the it to crash (on a very small number of occasions). Please note that I have moved the base SDK version to 4.0.3 (ICE_CREAM_SANDWICH) rather than 2.3.3 (GINGERBREAD) this is in preparation of a paid version with more features. This was a hard choice to make but there are only 8% of the users on 2.3.3 but the support of backward compatibility precludes some of the richer features in the later versions. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.me.g4dpz.HamSatDroid&hl=en… 73 - Dave, G4DPZ
