Getting a new android device--which OS?

in RaceChrono for Android
Looking to get a new phone with a better camera, more RAM and newer OS that the 4.1 version I have now.
Have their been any operational issues with the newest OS--lollipop using RC Pro?
Regarding KitKat OS--can I still store video to the SD card rather than keep it on the internal RAM
as I currently do with 4.1 OS
Thanks

    Most of my test devices are on 5.0 and 5.1 now, so I think the compatibility is good enough already. Needed to press cancel on upgrade on couple of Android 4.4 devices, as I still need to test that too ;) About 25% of users are at Android 5.x and I haven't received complaints related to them really.

    SDcard will work for videos on Android 5.x same as 4.x.

    Good to hear about 5.X.
    You're confirming that if I get a phone with Kitkat 4.4.x it will store video data on the external SD card? There are a lot of deals out there now on LG/HTC units running 4.4.X making me wanting to pull the trigger on one but it depends on the RC app.

    Yes it works on 4.4 too. Android 4.4 allows apps to write only their own folder on the sdcard. For this reason the external video folder is under /Android/data/com.racechrono.pro/ on the external storage. If I ever create feature that it could write /DCIM/ folder too, 4.4 will not be supported, as it is limited writing its own folder only.
