"still having trouble turns out even when I exit application i see the ifly app is still running in the background "

Not sure how you're checking to see if an app is running in the background. If you're using the button at the bottom of most devices that lets you switch between "currently-running" apps, that's not really a list of "currently-running" apps--it's a list of all recently accessed apps, whether they're still running or not.

You can tell whether iFly is *really* running or not by what happens when you select it from that list. If it immediately pops up and shows you a moving map, then it was, indeed, running in the background. If instead if pops up a black screen with the iFly logo and sits there for a few seconds before showing you the moving map, then it wasn't running, and is going through the launch sequence again.

where the unit was unreliable and now unuseable ..
If that's the case, something is wrong with your tablet. iFly GPS is highly reliable and always works.

are you at or near expiration ? If not then you have no idea what behavior may occur .Seems pretty coincidental that tab goes bonkers when suscription pop ups start .Wouldnt you agree ?

So the tablet is junk yet every other program runs great including google maps which I run from sd card ?
Did another trial of aviation software and guess what runs great .Thing is Ive been with AP from the start and rather not go elsewhere
Gps locks on in seconds, I downgraded to kit kat and then back to lollipop
without effect .
Maybe someone at ifly can look at my ifly logs I sent before I run out and buy a new tablet and renew my subscription .

My renewal date is May 9. I have also been with iFly for several years on Android and IOS and never had a problem as you describe. When I get a notice that it's time to renew, I simply renew. I also have FltPlan Go and WingX Pro 7 but much prefer iFly GPS for obvious reasons.

Ive never had such issues either but keep in mind theres been tons of updates since I began using ifly ...in 2010 to be precise .

Bugs occur over time with any sw updates be it apple or msoft .Nothing is perfect .To go out and get a new tablet at this point makes no sense .
