I installed it on my Note-4 last night, and had a play with it whilst I was doing some flying today.

Thoughts:-
- Clear and intuitive operation and display.

- Plenty of charts, but it is their own invented ones, not any standard charts. I didn't try importing anything. I do have UK charts installed.

- Does a nice job of downloading NOTAMs and METARs.

- A really glaring deficiency, that I've not found a solution to: it shows all the controlled airspace 2 dimensionally, with no indication of altitudes.

- Pulls down standard AIP plates fairly effectively.


On the whole, I'll leave it up and play with it some more, and probably put it up on the Nexus as well, but unless I or they find a solution to the lack of altitude data for controlled airspace, then it's dead in the water, regardless of all of its other strengths.
