Hi all
I bought a new Android tablet on Saturday - Version 7.0, Nougat.
AMSATDroid seems to work fine on it, other than displaying the date as "000001 29, 2018"
On the tablet, I did a Google Play Store search for Heavens-Above (which runs great on my smartphone, which is running some flavor of Android 4.x) and Heavens-Above didn't show up in the store...which I thought "okay, that's strange".
So tonight I went to the Heavens-Above website, thinking I would download the Android app from there. Google Play Store pops up with Heavens-Above app but I'm getting the message "Your device is not compatible with this version".
So, what I'm looking for - assuming that the Heavens-Above app won't be updated - is a similar app which will run under 7.0. How about Satellite Tracker from Tythatguy. or Satellite Tracker by Vito Technology (reading the reviews, the latter doesn't seem to be as useful as Heavens-Above or Tythatguy's version). Any others you might recommend?
Comments? Suggestions? Any way to make 7.0 backwardly compatible? <grin>
