Ratings and Reviews
Useless
Nowhere does it say that you must have an account to use this app. And there is no way to set up an account either. From what I can gather it is for commercial fleet operators only. WHY NOT SAY THAT IN THE DESCRIPTION!
Reliability
In recent months, the software has been improved significantly. Yes, I think it remains for use primarily for a fleet of aircraft, small or large….But it runs much better then it did before and the functionality of things are better as well. I can reliably highlight places on the flight log and then I can actually delete the same markings. A big improvement. Overall, it’s gotten better. Keep up the good work.
Update: After many months, its still working well. No complaints.
Crashes a lot
On my iPad using ios9 the app keeps crashing every time I try to move around the map or change the zoom level! Basically unusable
