SynScan Pro Version 2.0.0 Android App On Google Play (Message From SynScan Developers To The SkySafari + SynScan Users)

We just released SynScan Pro app version 2.0.0 on Google Play.

This is our first version of SynScan app developed with QT, yet we have not figured out how to keep the app running in the background and acting as a TCP server. As a result, your Skysafari app will not be able to work with this version of  SynScan Pro normally to control a Skywatcher mount. We will continue to work on this issue.

As a temporary solution, we suggest our users make use of the Freeform feature provided by Android and run the SynScan Pro app in a smaller floating window while using Skysafari.

    SynScan 2.0.6 is out! Get it directly from SkyWatcher or the App Store!

    I just received a notification for this topic again today. After rereading this something I have always thought was the issue with SS7 losing the connection to my SynScan mount has been confirmed. The issue is not SkySafari, it's the SynScan app. That said, the two possible workarounds I know are what has to be done until either something better is found or Skywatcher fixes it....

    Does give me an idea though......
