Nighthawk Android App Keeps Stopping
Today I attempted to open my Android phone's Nighthawk app (v 2.11.5.1716) and have continuously encountered a problem in accessing the app. When the app intially opens, it attempts to connect to the...
FYI latest Nighthawk Android app update, v 2.12.0.1770, finally enables my Samsung phone to connect successfuly to R7000 router--app no longer crashes when opened. Obviously problem was due to "bugs" in prior app version.

It certainly works in some circumstances, but it still crashes in others.
I use the app to control two routers through Anywhere Access.
The app happily launches an goes to the device it first finds. But if I switch from one router (7800) to another (R7000P), or even from Anywhere Access to local Wifi, it still falls over.
However, restart the app and it will launch and connect to the router that I was trying to switch to before the crash.
So, progress but still not a permanent fix.
The Orbi version doesn't crash. But that connects to just one device.
