  1. Assigning the ports to the functions has become very difficult. In the iOS version you can tap the SBrick-picture, the motor will run briefly and you can easily assing the correct funvtion to the port directly. Now, you have to 1. SBricks -> Select 1 of the SWBricks -> 3. Select Port Tester -> 4. test one port -> 5. go back to MOC's -> 6. go to Settings -> 7. Select profile settings again -> 8. and then you can assign a port to a function.
  As you see, something which took 2 ticks, now takes 8 !! Imaging you have a model with 2 SBricks and 8 functions ...
  2. The profile market has lots of trouble fetching the profiles.
  3. When trying to open the Excavator-profile, the app shows a black screen once it has connected to the Sbricks.
  4. The App can show only 1 1/2 moc on 1 screen, previously you could see more than 4 Mocs at once.

  I checked it, and it seems ok until the Joystick, but you should set the Sliders channel parameter too. The Name parameter is just a cosmetic thing in the Profile Designer. We know it's not obvious, and we're working on a more accurate way. (Also, bigger features coming soon).
  Anyway, if you can't set the channel parameter, try to empty your browsers cache, maybe something stucked within...
  
  That worked. Indeed, I only set the name, but not the channel. That also explains why all the sliders operated the same function.
  Thanks for your help !! Now I can refine the Profile. I 'm planning to put this SBrick-model on display at Lego World 2015.  less

  But the sliders mess things up: only the functions of the joysticks show up in the App (both Android and iOS). But only 1 sliders shows up, which is allways called "Slider", no matter what name you gave it in the Profile-Designer. 
  As a test I made a profile with only 2 sliders. It allready had these problems, and both sliders in the profile controll the same function in the MOC.
  The older profiles I have (which also have 2 or more sliders) work perfectly, So it looks like there something going wrong in the Profile-designer.

  And OTA doesn't seem to work. After I do the firmware update, it still says is has V0.0. After OTA of my android phone, it does say V4.2.
  But even with frimware 4.2, the profile still won't connect to the SBricks.
  Currently, the Android app works better than the iOS app. Now I CAN controll my 2-SBrick moc with my Sony phone, but NOT with my iPod (iOS 8.3).

  It currently evn works better than the iOS-app (in which I can't update the firmware and the profile can't connect to the S-Bricks.)
  The one thing I noticed is that sometimes old and new screens overlap: the old screen isn't completely removed, and the new screen is displayed over it with a bit of transparancy.

  I can now assign 2 SBricks to 1 profile and assign all the profile functions to the SBrick ports, but the profile can controll only 1 (the first) SBrick. All functions assigned to the second SBrick do not respond. So only half of my excavator profile works.

  Last weekend, I had 3 MOC's ready and setup in the app using 2 different custom profiles, and everything worked.
  Yesterday, I switched on one of my my MOC's, but the profile didn't open. There were 2 red SBricks on the screen that didn't turn green. Now none of my MOC's and profiles are working anymore. Everytime I open a profile the app hangs in trying to connect to the bricks. The only way out is killing the app manually. This "bug" has happend 2 more times, all at random moments. All I can do to make it work again is to completely delete the App, reinstall it and remake all my Moc's
  Now there's a Lowlug-meeting this sunday, where up to 100 Lego-fans will attend. I was planning on taking the SBrick-Moc's there, but when they don't work, I will not take them there.

  And everything I touchg when the profile is opened closes the profile again.
  In the output-assignment-screen, when i press the picture of the SBrick to test the ports, the app crashes.
  I even tried the standard profile with 2 joysticks and 2 sliders: only the sliders work, the joysticks don't do a thing. And whatever settings I try, I can't get the profile to controll the 2 SBricks. I also tried removing the app completely including files and cache as Jürg suggested, but that didn't change anything.

  * The profile doesn't shop up correctly: the joysticks buttons are white, the sliders and joysticks are placed too low. Below is a picture so you can see the difference between the correct iOS profile (top) and the incorrect android version (bottom)
  * One MOC can containt multiple SBricks, but I can controll only one. It doesn't matter which SBrcik I select in the MOC-edit page, I end up controlling the same SBrick every time.
  * The only button that works in the profile is the close button, everything else (including touching only the background) crashes the app.
  * When downloading the profile from the market, it never gives the message Download complete
  * When selecting an image for your MOC, it never gives the message Complete
  * Everytime I reopen the App, I have to login again, whereas the Ios app keeps you logged in

  Update:
  I created a fancy profile for my excavators and successfully loaded into my IOS app. The profile includes joysticks, sliders, light-buttons and a custom-created background.
  Now there's only only one thing that sets this profile apart from being perfect: the invert-buttons for the output-ports in the App don't work. In the profile designer you can invert a slider with the Value-setting, but not for the joysticks. So either the profile-designer must be updates with an inverting-functions for the joysticks or the invert-switches in the SBrick-output-assignment screen should be fixed. Preferably both of course.
