SkyDemon employee Rob, here to offer clarifications...
The SkyDemon free trial has pretty much all the functionality active, with the exceptions being:
- The 30 minute navigation time-limit (as discussed),
- The electronic flight-plan and GAR filing features (we have an obligation to verify the identity of anyone who submits data to the AFTN)
- Third party airfield documents (Pooleys, for example)
- The download all AIP function (mass data downloads are restricted for evaluation users)
We think that the iPad mini is a great size, and tends to have the most stable environment for apps (especially the complex apps that we are talking about here). If you were focusing on Android completely then the Nexus 7 tends to get the best reports for size and stability.
I hope that helps!
