"The software on this device is outdated..."

This just started, out of the blue - not correlated with any system/software changes that I'm aware of: Running the controller app v8.1.1 on a Samsung tablet running Android 4.2.2 (Kernel v3.4.5). Fired up the controller app today (first time in a couple of weeks) and saw this message. Found another thread suggesting that an uninstall/reinstall of the controller app would fix - did that, and it did not. Most perplexing - any insights much appreciated!

8.2 is the current app version. You should find it in the android store. However, it is a limited version on Android 4.2

Do you have another controller / phone you can use to be your main controller as far as setup goes. The android tablet you have will still work controlling wise it just can't do any of the setup options under 8.2.

Hi! I'm having a similar problem running the 8.1.1 controller version on a very old phone running android 4.0.4. The system was working fine (using a bridge, a play 1 and a play 5) and then yesterday I have added a new play 5 (gen 1). The system required an update to version 8.1.1 and everything is still working ok in my PC. However in my phone (I actually only use it to control the SONOS system) I get the message that the software is out of date. I know that the new configuration (with the stereo pair of play 5's) works fine but I just can't use it... What should I do?

Thank you Chris, appreciate your reply but when i check for updates it tells me that "The latest updates have been installed" even though the kernel version is dated Aug 2014. It seems my best option is to buy an Amazon Fire 7.
I bought an Amazon Fire 7 - it's OK but not ideal. A N Other cheap tablet might be better...
