After shutting down the tablet and then restarting a couple times and then uninstalling IFLY and having to completely set it all up again with all the necessary charts and flight plans, instrument settings, etc. I finally got it to work. Luclily I could switch to my Samsung phone and all was working well there. I had to set up everything again on the tablet when I landed.
I know there must be a way to uninstall then reinstall without having to download aircraft info and all charts and settings. Probably with everything saved to the cloud? Or when uninstalling it if it could leave all the settings on my SD card.
Also: I discovered a couple more handy tricks that I am continually discovering by chance, since there is no comprehensive manual.
A) If you just tap and hold your finger on the screen all the instruments disappear as long as you hold it so you can see more of the screen real estate.
B) When you get the information box on a target or airport you can put your finger on the box and move it to a more desirable spot on the screen.
