Galaxy Tab S6, Android 14

[BCNorwich]

Hi, We, the wife and I, have been very happy using Freda premium for many years on our old Android devices.

We just got two new tablets as mentioned above, one upgraded to Android OS 13 where Freda works as expected. However, for some reason, the other tablet upgraded to Android OS 14 and Freda is just haywire, very unresponsive. I understand that Android OS 14 is very new, so my question is should Freda work on it? Secondly if there are problems with this OS will the problems be resolved? I'm happy to wait awhile.

Regards Bernard.

Hi Bernard,

Sorry to hear that you're having troubles with Freda and Android 14 on your new tablet.  In principle (that is to say, according to Google's documentation) the existing version of Freda should work OK on Android 14.  But I am not surprised (though I am disappointed) to learn that there are troubles with it in reality.

I am in the process of building a new version of Freda that is designed to work on Android 14, so there will be an updated version of the app that will probably work for you.  It may take a few weeks (the update includes a number of fixes that still need testing)

Hi Jim,

Good to hear from you, and I'm very pleased to hear you have the problem in hand. Freda is the very best ebook reader I've come across and I'm OK to wait while the problems are fixed. Could you post a reply here so I'm informed as soon as the update is available.

Regards Bernard.
