Is Ozrunways becoming to complex?

When this app first appeared it was great. Now days it seems that way to much stuff is in it for geeks, making it less useful for pilots.

Here is my list of gripes: Every time I start it it wants to do a database update. It used to just start.

The fuel tank timer mentioned by deadcut, what is this? Anyone wanting this should perhaps not be flying. Why is the default on? Where is the info to turn it off without resorting to pprune forums?

I cannot get it to show area frequencies, I get two choices when I look and neither work, one remains blank the other says "no". It used to display the area frequency pretty well faultlessly.

Pressing the weather radar yesterday left me with a blank screen that took ages to get out of. It was an inadvertent press ...

It would seem that without undue study, the increasing complexities make my Garmin handheld and a bunch of maps way more superior for day to day flying.

Is it just me, or is this thing getting less user friendly by the day?
