GL Version 3.2.14 is the latest official 3+ release of which I'm aware.
After restoring this version, GL has worked well for me.
I'm presently running Android 5.1.1 on an LG-K330 phone with 8GB "phone internal storage" and 32GB "SD Card" storage.
Summary of how to restore a prior version:
- o Prepare phone for restoring the prior version.
o Download the prior version to the phone.
o Remove GL 4+ version.
o Use a file manager to sideload install the download (.apk file).
Settings > Security > Phone Administration > Unknown Sources > Select
- o This enables sideloading; beware of sideloading other untrusted downloads.
o After restoring the prior version, you might want to disable sideloading.
- o This prevents automatic updating to a newer version from automatically replacing the restored prior version.

Consequence of reverting to a GL 3+ version:
(to get a more complete idea of the advantages/disadvantages of reverting to a GL 3+ version).
You may want to include reading these two topics that I posted:
"Missing GL SD card support is serious concern": https://tech.lds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=27607
"Can a GL 3+ ver be placed in the Google/Android Play Store": https://tech.lds.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=102&t=27622
Positive consequences:
GL 4+ content but do have adequate internal "SD Card" storage,
the recommended 3+ version will allow you to use the
"SD Card" storage for the content.
The "SD Card" should be properly formatted and not removed.
If you are adding an "SD Card" format it, check it,
then do not remove it once put into use (unless you understand how to do so safely).
Negative consequences:
The GL project will not benefit from your testing of 4+ versions. Please do not duplicate issues already reported.
You will not have access to new improved features in version 4+.
To try a a newer 4+ version, you will need to uninstall your 3+ version and install the new version from the play store.
you will need to follow the steps for restoring a prior version
(you can likely omit the step: Download the prior version to the phone).
