The new app is very slow, says no internet although phone is connected to wifi. Sometimes doesn't show the current day FDI or will just close by itself. Please look into this, the old app was much better (web version as well as the new version doesn't have all the functions the old version had)

Hi Ashley. We have optimized some of the database queries to speed up the loading of the map. If you get the no internet error please refresh the app by dragging your finger from the top towards the bottom, like in most browsers. If that does not work please close the app completely and re-open. Let us know which features you are missing.

Tried what dev suggested, still for some reason get the no connection error. Connection speed is fine. I can only get the map to load when on wifi, anytime else it says no connection

Sorry to hear that you are still experiencing the same issue. Can you try opening the viewer in your mobile device's browser? https://viewer.afis.co.za/map
