Update 5.2.2 - Quick fix

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Corjan-Meijerink well to make that perfectly clear. I meant that the beta is out on iOS. I just reacted on your original post and to be honest I didn't think one moment that the post was not in the beta section

[TomOnTour]

I am a normal user (no beta) and have the 5.2.2 under ios for more than a week now, but it looks like that it is still not available under Android. Any idea wht I might make wrong, or ist it once again Google not processing the release requests?

[a white mouse on the motorbike]

Google is simply taking its time to publish it.
It is not yet available on Android in the beta group either.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

Normally it takes Google 14 days but I guess that since its such a big update (just kidding) it takes them even longer. In the end they will give in and publish the quick fix

[TomOnTour]

What is interesting for me is, that my company is publishing an APP under Android and iOS and both version will be submitted on the same day, the final difference when it will be available for our users is not more then 1 or 2 days. It looks like Goofle don't like GPS Apps

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@TomOnTour that might be the case since MRA is a serious danger for Apple's own maps app. I think its a simple branche protecting item.

@TomOnTour I like your (I presume) typo: Goofle, translated to German: Trottel

Google is not owned by Apple

I thought we where talking about the slow release of Google not Apple..

I do not see the relation between a navigation app and Apple and Goole maps and the point that they will postpone the release, I think Apple will have never heared about MRA

Google his bussiness model is getting data, as much as possible, and sell it to other companies.
Even if you get an API key you have to be carefull how many data you query otherwise they will khow how to get your money.
On the other hand the data you get out of google maps is mostly quite accurate.

Now available on the Android Play Store

[Hubert Thoring]

The Google Play Store app update has taken a very long time, it would be interesting to know what the reason was, because the iOS app update was already available 3 weeks ago. This time span is not really comprehensible. VG

Das mit dem Googel Play Store App Update hat jetzt aber mal sehr lange gedauert, wäre interessant zu wissen was der eigentlich Grund war, denn das iOS App Update gab es vor 3 Wochen schon. Diese Zeitspanne ist nicht wirklich nachvollziehbar. VG

[Ioan Dragulescu]

it was the same with the previous update if I remember correctly.

[Peter Zehentreiter]

I agree—this long wait is definitely not justified.

Like I said, it was just a small update!

Maybe the app’s developers could reach out to Google and ask why it’s taking so disproportionately long and if there’s anything that can be done about it.

They simply need to make the app file available for download on the MyRoute-app website; while it is true that this was only a minor update, had it been a critical fix, the delay in availability for Android users would have been unacceptable.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

I think that if what you're suggestion was indeed that simple, they would have grabbed that possibility a long time ago.
I have trust in the devs and there willingness to do the best for the app and the users.
Whatever they decide is fine by me

[Con Hennekens]

@ginogino, sideloading apps can create a hose of problems concerning the current (not yet recognized) update over an PlayStore initiated version, and also future PlayStore updates over an unrecognized sideloaded version. Also sideloading needs some (not difficult) actions to allow "unknown sources", which in turn makes android vulnerable if not reversed.

I think if MRA went that way, we could expect a new forum category that no-one would really want to look into Let's just hope Google will better themselves...

fwiw, it hit my Google Play account yesterday and I was able to update. It did fix the problem with the auto switching between day/night modes. Unfortunately, my other problems remain unresolved.

[Marinus van Deudekom]

@Jeff-Causey it was only a minor fix looking at the day night feature
