Since version 3.0.3, I've had a lot (tens of) "silent crashes" when using SD on my 4.4.2 Nexus 7. By "silent", I mean that the Android crash notification (the one which allows you to send a report) does not show. SD just disappears. It happens when launching SD (mostly, sometimes 3 times in a row), when loading a route (sometimes) and when navigating too (real flight). Unfortunately I can't find a way to clearly reproduce it. Note that I never encountered that with the previous versions. Never. I know that such a "bug report" does not really help without a log or a clear step to reproduce, so my question is about the correct way to report it. Is there a way to really help identifying this issue? A specific SD log I can find somewhere? Can a system log be helpfull? Thanks, M Tags 3.0.3 android crash

We have put code in place such that any class of exception like that one should NOT bring down the app itself. The other exception wasn't one we could catch, but we have been able to work around it. There will be a new beta in a few minutes.

Since about 14 days crashes are much more seldom. I had 4 flights last weekend with a total of 8 hours, and I only had one crash. It is very strange for me. I agree with mike that other apps, specially navigation apps do not produce any crash on my device at all.
