Hi Jan. What you say is correct, that Foreflight is very much a US orientated planning and navigating app which is good for VFR and IFR flight and has bolt ons at additional cost for all sorts of things.. I have been using it in the USA for about 10 years and it's good. In the UK, I use SkyDemon and just love it.

However, a couple of years ago Foreflight brought out a set of UK and Europe mapping (and I assume all the plates and the fearures like loads of weather overlays, synthetic vision, high level and oceanic IFR charts etc. that go with it) but as I was already using SkyDemon, I had no urge to pay another $100 to get the UK and Europe stuff on Foreflight just to try it. Right now I haven't been to the States in over a year so my Foreflight subscription has lapsed.

My question is whether anybody has actually tried the Euro version of Foreflight and can comment on how well it transitioned across the pond and if all the bells and whistles are on it..
