Hi Caryl,

The WebView integrated in Jelly Bean - alias Android 4.3 - has a poor
support of HTML5/JavaScript.
It's why unfortunately, I can't guaranty a good Sugarizer compatibility
under Android 4.4 on all activities.
Here [1] a graphic of Android version distribution, Android 4.3 and lower
is still at 15%.

Best regards.

        Lionel.
