Problems opening information

Today I noticed that when I try to use the "show more" option on a geocache when on the map, almost nothing happens & when I try to log the cache, nothing happens either.

You can see the program running for a moment, but then it freezes on the map.

This happens more often, but only when I have poor reception, and it often only happens once or twice. I think that's because it's trying to retrieve/update information, and with slow internet, that sometimes fails.

But now it doesn't do much at all, even at home with good Wi-Fi.

Is anyone else experiencing this?

Some phones are experiencing screen rendering problems due to some Google/Android software added in the last update. I can't replicate it. But another version 15.1.7 is pending release by Google which backs out more of the new software that was added. I have no idea if this will fix it.

In the meantime, a workaround is to minimize then restore the app which forces Android to repaint the screen so you see it.

I haven't used it very much because of the problem. But a quick test gives the same result, that it does not work. Maybe 2 out of 10 times.
