I am keen to support local business, but AVPLAN needs to improve compared to my last try some years ago.
Certainly Avplan isn't as user-friendly (they've a ways to go there yet) and I'm still working a few things with their support team myself, but If it helps at all, there were three things that won me over:
1. Glide range indication ring (like the one in Foreflight),
2. Significantly increased traffic display (nearly nearly everyone is using it these days!), and
3. By far the most important for marital harmony... the missus gets an automated SMS every time I takeoff and (safely, presumably) land!!

Maybe have another go (30-day free trial).. and see what you think.
