We have posted a beta for SkyDemon 3.8 for Android on our beta page. Here is the change list:

Traffic warnings have been enhanced and extended, with a new traffic radar instrument available
On tablets, the What's Here screen now includes a graphical airspace stack showing the extent of controlled airspace at the selected location
Integrated pilot feedback shows real-time information about airfields and allows you to submit your own feedback
The What's Here list has been enhanced to include frequencies and other information which is now available with one touch
There is now a SkyDemon Plate option in the Airfield screen to immediately access all the information we have for an airfield in one screen
Support for new German TMZs with squawks and frequency monitoring codes added
Virtual radar in flight now dynamically changes vertical scale when in a climb or descent
Visual Reporting Points listed in the airfield Approach Information screen are now clickable so you can easily find them on the map
Controlled airspace is now separately switchable for classes A-D and class E in map layers
User document lookup for an airfield now works with a local identifier when an ICAO identifier is not available
NOTAM which have been hidden are now displayed as grayed-out when producing a Briefing Pack
Wooded areas could remain hidden in planning mode if TerrainSafe was switched on in navigation mode‌‌‌

The beta has just been updated. If you've experienced a bug in a previous beta please re-test and report back.

In Simulation mode, the problem with the plog (right 1/3 screen blank) has been fixed.

When I try to explore an airfield, the satellite imagery does not always load.  I couldn't Explore Bembridge or Southampton Airports but I was able to explore Popham (Popham is my base and I may well have cached imagery of that airfield on my Tablet).

T‌he spawn Aircraft feature in Simulate mode is great. Really useful to see how traffic warnings will be presented/alerted.‌‌

Tim,

I've traced the problem with Exploring an Airfield‌ to a problem with Google Maps on my Nexus.  The app needed to be re-initialised.  I've got Google Maps to work correctly in stand-alone mode. When Sky Demon calls upon it, the satellite imagery is now loaded reliably.

I‌'ve also noticed that since I have fixed Google Maps, the slight sluggishness in SkyDemon re drawing the Map as it is moved has now disappeared.‌
