'Faded' interface all the sudden with forced 2.1mb chart update?

I'm running the Android Version on both my phone and tablets. Just in the last one hour, both of them now have a 'faded' interface: Buttons, airplane icon, & Instruments. I checked the setting where you can set button fading and they're unchanged. Also, now, every time the app is launched, I'm asked to do a download of 2.1MB from the Map download page and it can't be dismissed. I can either download or quit iFly.

What's happening? Sure seems like a bad update was pushed.

What specific devices?

What do you mean by "in the last one hour"--has iFly been running continuously for over an hour, and at some point the buttons faded and won't come back? Or do you mean iFly was working fine when you shut it down less than an hour ago, and you just launched iFly again, and now this is how it appears when it first launches?

By last hour I mean I launched iFly an hour ago to update my checklist with an item. Interface and all is normal. I exit application and remember I wanted to update my instrument layout before next flight. NOTHING has changed (OS Update, app updates, settings etc.). Interface now looks like screenshot above and I get prompted to do a 2.1 mb download every time app is launched like the attached... 1771518541627.png

Additional data... When I load up a past flight trail, it isn't visible. Then while pinching to zoom, it shows up, but once I 'let go' of the pinch and not touch screen, the trail disappears ago. ..and interface stays faded like the screen shots. So weird. I checked Google Play, Samsung, etc. and there were not any updates at all. Only thing is that 2.1MB iFly download that shows up on every launch

Somebody fixed something somewhere as both devices are both working normally now with zero changes on my part. I could believe it was just a flakey device type thing but the fact it happened on 2 separate devices has me very skeptical it was related to my devices.

iFly EFB has not been updated on Google Play since June 2025. Adventure Pilot is working on a significant update, but it is still in beta testing and has not been publicly released yet. I can't explain why you saw the button fading behavior, but I don't think "somebody fixed something somewhere". It is more likely that whatever conditions caused the behavior to occur were present on both devices at the same time, and that the conditions cleared. It may just be a subtle bug?

Understood. But I was getting that repeating small update (2.1MB) so that was certainly a server delivered 'thing'. Either way, it's all good. Just really weird to have identical issue on 2 separate devices. Would love get my hands on the Version 14 beta somehow! :)
