Navionkcs app on Android 4 device?

[SvenglishTommy]

Has anyone tried running the Navionics app on a phone/tablet running Android 4?

I'll give it a go if no one else has, but would rather save the expense if anyone's tried and it doesn't run.

Thanks,

Tom

Its not just a system issue. Navionics will run on android 4 on the nexus 7 inch but not on the same android on the nexus 10 inch. Have a look at http://www.navionics.com/en/compatibility

Mind you what navionics will have tested and what will actually work might well be different.

I have an old version of Navionics (5.3.1) which was transferred to my new phone (nexus 4 running Android 4.2.2). Seems to work fine.

I know Navionics say it isn't compatible, but I was just wondering if anyone had actually put it tothe test. Sounds like it works with 4.2 but I'm wondering about Android 4.3 aka Ice Cream Sandwhich.

ICS was 4.0.x. 4.2 is Jelly Bean. There is no 4.3. 4.2.2 is (currently) the latest
Edit: You probably mean 4.0.3 (API level 15). Can't necessarily vouch for that but navionics 5.3.1 certainly runs on the later level 17 API

Works fine on my Asus, latest Android version 4.2.2.

I have a Galaxy s3 running 4.2.2 leaked firmware and it works fine for me (HD version which i purchased for my Nexus 7).

I have it on my Asus TF 101 running 4.0.3 and on my Galaxy S3 running 4.1.2, my version is 2.9. I also have GPS Nautical Charts and Plan2Nav and I rate these as being better/easier to use than Navionics and they are less costly and perhaps, more user friendly.

A few weeks ago they removed the compatibility restrictions according to their app listing.

nexus 10- no problems!!!- a fanatastic app. - used as the main navigational tool for sailing through the Baltic rocks recently.

Also---the cheaper phone map is the same as the more expensive HD version- so if you have a 7" sceen- buy the cheaper version

I have a Samsung Galaxy tab2 10.1 and the Navionics works well - just returned from a sailing trip on the west coast of Scotland and I thought it was superior to the fitted Raymarine plotter. Certainly much clearer when viewed from a distance. It does not have as many functions but I found it perfectly adequate and a bargain at £48 for the whole of the UK and Holland. Will be using it for my trip to Holland later on.
