I used the app a few years back during my ppl cross country flights and it was of great help, especially in navigating through the airspaces. That's great value for the money. It would have been nice for the graphics to move smoothly during navigation like for example: waze or Google maps...but I got used with it.

With open source maps, load-your-own ERSA & not CASA certified, it used to be a cheap & cheerful VFR companion. But with each update (all support to EU & USA) it becomes ever more troublesome. For downunder, add all the wierd terminology to mesmerizing and ballooning array of controls, I'm sad to say it is fast becoming a liability in the cockpit.

Very complete aviation navigation app. Use it all the time for international navigation, flying Helicopters. The only gripe I would have that, at times it's a bit counter intuitive and requires frequent revision of the manual - but that's probably a result of it's completeness.
