WHAT'S NEW IN THIS BUILD
This release adds "Aircraft Services" — a directory where pilots find local aircraft cleaning and detailing providers.
TO REVIEW THE NEW FEATURE
1. Sign in with the demo account below.
2. Tap "Find" in the bottom navigation.
3. Tap the "Services" filter chip to show aircraft service providers.
4. Tap a provider to view its profile, photos, services, pricing, and reviews.
5. "Request a Quote" opens an in-app direct message with the provider.
NO PAYMENTS IN THIS FEATURE
Aircraft cleaning and detailing are physical services performed on the user's aircraft at an airport. PlanesChat does not process, collect, or facilitate any payment for them, and no digital content is sold. Pilots and providers arrange payment entirely offline. Per guideline 3.1.3(e), in-app purchase does not apply to physical services. The only in-app purchase in this app remains the PlanesChat Pro subscription, which is sold exclusively through Apple In-App Purchase.
MODERATION OF LISTINGS
Business listings are user-submitted but are NOT publicly visible on submission. Every listing enters a "pending review" state and is only shown after a PlanesChat administrator approves it. Editing an approved listing removes it from public view and returns it to the review queue. Administrators can reject a listing with a reason, or remove it at any time. Reviews written by pilots are moderated at submission time, and the existing report/flag controls apply.
PRO SUBSCRIPTION (unchanged)
Sold via Apple In-App Purchase only. To test: open Subscribe and tap a plan.
ACCOUNT DELETION (unchanged)
