Can @ASIAIR@ZWO please come clean about what is happening with the Android app in the Play Store.
Based on the post above I decided to try again to install the app - although there's no indication that this version is any different to the one I installed the other day.
The ASIAir app is 70MB, which is way too small to be the whole thing, the apk files are 10 times bigger. So after downloading the 70MB over my slow internet I installed it and when I hit the device link it didn't crash, great! So the patch - whatever that is - worked.
I was then told that there is a mismatch between the app version and the firmware on the Air, so I tell it to 'Go to Update' but this downloads a different apk that's 700MB from a site that completely bypasses the Google Play Store and all the security and virus checking. After the long wait for the download to complete, it's no surprise that I get a message saying this app may be harmful, but I tentatively hit install anyway. I needn't have worried, it will not install.

Back to the beta version.
I could happily stay on the beta version but my phone keeps telling me there's a new version on the Play Store. There doesn't seem to be any way on Android to block an app from updating without manually deselecting it from the the list of updates - of which there are frequently many.
