- Fixed a bug where the Helipaddy app badge was showing more notifications than a user had
5.4.1 01/31/2022
Happy New Year to all! We're bringing you a smaller release just to get the year moving, but believe we've got a lot going on in the background to bring a bunch of new features to you guys and gals this year!
Fly Here

- The 'Fly Here' button that you'll see on any Pad View now shows your choice of navigation app (picked from Settings).
Announcements
- We've released a lot of new features, many of which it seems are not fully understood, so we've put together Announcements. Designed to explain new features and keep you up-to-date within the app, we hope this will guide you into making the most of Helipaddy!
Search
- We've removed some annoying messaging and limitations within Search for our free users.
5.4 01/10/2022
Hey Pilots - it's been a while! We’ve had our heads down, working on a few bigger features for you all to enjoy.
Filters never looked so good!
- We've made HUGE improvements to how the filtering of pads works, and we think we've really nailed it this time.
- Advanced filter criteria now helps you to cut right to the creme de la creme, for example, Top Rated, Owner Approved, Most Comments etc. We're really chuffed with this, and hope you will be, too!
Letting you know!
- Notifications: We’ve added the notification centre, which we’ll use to keep you up-to-date and engaged.
- Silent Updates: Any changes made to pads will be reflected instantly in the app - no refreshing required
Then, of course, lots of little fixes, adjustments and bugs…
Have a play and let us know how you’ve found the new features at feedback@helipaddy.com
