There appears to be more than Android version of Open CPN.
Any idea which is the best one?

You should get Dave's - you have to pay for it but it's well supported. The free version is unsupported and lacks functionality in some areas now.

The paid version is not that well supported. I have found 2 bugs, reported them both, but not had any response at all, not even an acknowledgement. One is a crash bug in a dialog which causes the app to fall over completely and Android eventually kills it. The other, more serious for me, is sending autopilot messages via a Bluetooth data connection doesn't work at all. Neither problem affects the Windows version.

They're usually quick to respond on OpenCPN - Cruisers & Sailing Forums though normally request that android things go on the dedicated andriod forum, which I haven't managed to get on to yet But cruisers forum will get a response.
