I'll check it out "solo apk" and provide feedback...thanks.
I am trying to download the "solo apk" app and it's been downloading now for about 30 minutes. The whole process is kind of a mess really...not very clear as to what the name of the app is, several things. If it doesn't finish soon, I'm calling DEAD on the "solo apk" app.
UPDATE: ok...so it turns out the app actually did download in a matter of seconds...but the download icon on the app page continued showing 'downloading' with a scrolling progress bar, so I thought it was locked up. And what downloaded was an application needed to then download the actual "solo apk" app. So I did the download and it appears to simply be the original Solo app...exact same, with all the exact same settings, even the opening video on the "home" page of the guy jumping motorcycles in the desert. However, I will fly with extra caution until I feel it is safe...but 'daniel s' has 50 flights with it, so I feel pretty good about it.
Many thanks to 'daniel s' for pointing me to this. It looks to be the Solo app for older non-compatible tablets.
