Here we go again. The same people posting the same stuff every time. 1 down, 1 more to go (I am sure he will be here by lunchtime; he gets all updates on this forum pushed to his Iphone). There is a 3rd one but he doesn't come here often (as they say).

If EuroFPL works fine on an iPhone/iPad/Mac/PC etc (and indeed it does), and since it's free for low volume usage, why bother with AFPEX at all?
(a) For a backup - I actually had to use Afpex as a backup on a trip a few weeks ago, when I was sitting on the apron at Corfu LGKR, +35C so quite keen to get away, and for an unknown reason the #1 option was refusing the flight plan, citing invalid data in one of the fields. I used to run Homebriefing as the backup for a year or two but since I almost never used it, I could not see the point in paying 37 euros a year. Also they bloated their website to such an extent that merely logging in used up 1 or 2 MB of data, which when roaming .....

(b) To access specific AFPEX features (not anything I ever did).

(c) For the other uses I mentioned
