I use BRS on a phone, tablet & PC. On the tablet today BRS kept closing with an error. After a few attempts to put it right I uninstalled the BRS app & tried to reinstall it. Got a message saying that the app is not compatible with my device.

On checking the Android version the tablet is using it appears to be version 8.0, with 14 being the latest, with 15 in beta testing. No updates appear to be available. Is that it? Do I need a new tablet? It's a very old one & only holds a charge for 2 minutes so it's overdue a change.

Anyone else recently experienced this?

As I'm sitting on the settee doing nothing after golf, I'm having a "google" to see if there are any sites providing old versions of apps.

As that page says, you can use a browser with the right url provided by your club (mine is https://members.brsgolf.com/clandon/login)

But maybe loosing your data is not a problem; everything must be held on the server.

I use my mobile (we say "cell") phone to call the auto club if I get a puncture
or to order pizza or Chinese takeout on my way home if I don't feel like cooking.

I use my laptop to kill time on internet fora such as this one.

I've never taken a photo with my phone or sent a text message,
but as soon as this Luddite finds out what a BRS is,
I'll happily look into it for you.:)

No need, thanks. Have just purchased a new tablet. It was high time.
