After many yrears of iPhones, I am thinking of switching to Android and getting an S8. Thought I remember something about the app being not as good on Android, any opinions?==================================

Mine just about managed it as an emergency in France.
But frankly, it took an hour to load, repeatedly crashed while loading and was a pain in the .
I have gone back to Iphone for this alone.

I have a Nexus 5X and it's rubbish but then anything through the BT connection on the N5X is rubbish - a Nexus 9 worked perfectly and anything Apple has been rock solid..-------------------------------------------------------------------

Samsung S4 worked absolutely fine with no issues. On first use it has to download a load of stuff for the menus etc - so best to do it on wifi or 4G, otherwise it should take but a moment.Mark.
