What font for the trip title? I made it a bit smaller - did I miss a suggestion on how to improve that?

Which doesn't show a trip title... :-)

Can you define "crashes"? So On Android when you are at the top level (dive list) and hit back, we quit the app. Which is why it is restarting / relaunching. Is that the "crash" that you mean? Or do you get a crash indicator in the adb logcat?

Thanks for the great ideas for the UI. Again. This is how the app will become better. Well, this, and BLE support. I used the BT support for my Petrel 2 on this trip and that worked really well... but most dive computers are on BLE these days (in order to be able to support iOS).
