1 no longer supported and maps downloads have been removed. V2 does not show all airspaces. The whole point of the app for me is to avoid Gatwick Heathrow southampton and MATZ in class g such as Odiham. Boscombe down.

Very usable even in the free version. A good confidence giver when flying solo against a fully planned route. Can be quote confusing figuring out where some functions are, and not very intuitive at times.

I wonder how I could fly without it. En France elle donne même les VAC, plus besoin de papiers ! :)

Amazing especially to a private pilot though it doesn't have downloadable maps on African countries. Easy to use.
