This app has transformed my flying, before this, planning used to be onerous & time consuming. Now, I can get all the relevant weather, notams etc and print plogs direct from my phone. Just brilliant.

This is the best VFR software I have used. I purchased after the 1 month free trial and use it on my iPad Air 2, desktop PC and Android Nexus 4 phone (as a backup). Works great and no issues with GPS (both internal and External (Garmin Glo)) at all. Highly recommended.

Works very well in the Swiss mountains. Perhaps the free AIP in New Zealand could be integrated?

Used on my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1". You dont need an ipad, it works beautifully on the tab, and my Galaxy S5 phone. See title of the review for my opinion. Stupendously useful.

This may be related only to the Google Pixel C device (I'm not sure), but pinch to zoom functionality is rather slow and jumps depending on how one's fingers stop making contact after zooming. I would be more than happy to submit reports using a more formal feature/bug reporting tool, and very happy to help identify any issues with this device specifically. Other than the odd UI quirk, it's a fantastic tool.

Used skydemon all last year to navigate about the uk and Ireland and it was wonderful. Downloaded it again and it is so slow and frustratingly scatty it is unusable. I am still using the same Samsung Galaxy Note 4 like last time. I don't understand.

V Quick, simple & reliable. NOTAM, AIP and weather integration good. Google Maps useful for rotary ops. Highly recommend SD. Needs a 'delay/hold (time + fuel) at a WP to assist planning GH sorties.

Perfect and well thought out app. It has really everything you need for navigation, BUT the interface has become really slow. Pinch and zooming and menu pop-ups are agonisingly sluggish, even on a nexus 6.

I use this for both planning and as a moving map on a Nexus 7 and it is fantastic. I can plan a flight, check NOTAMs and weather and be ready to get in the plane within 3 minutes. Charts are easy to understand. Fantastic product.

Would be perfection if the 'touch ruler' that allows you to see your aircraft's distance to a particular spot plus the time, fuel and heading required to get there. The feature is available on Apple devices, so why not this one!?

Have now planned and flown many trips across the UK and France using this as nav backup. Fantastic! Probably the best bit of software I've ever seen. All the information you need, when you need it and so logical.

The app just keeps getting better. Using on my Nexus 9, a tablet with a 4:3 aspect ratio, it looks brilliant. On my Xperia Z3 Compact, with a roughly 16:9 ratio, apps like this don't look as good. A good portion of the screen is taken up with a hot-bar and notification bar, and if the app went fullscreen it'd free up a significant amount of real estate onscreen.
