NAIPS for iPhone
Shags,
Another satisfied customer of V1.0
Running on Touch with V3.0
I can scroll but not zoom the output ...Is this a Touch problem or iPhone as well. Sometimes my eyesight needs something bigger than the normal font
Any thoughts on adding a print facility? Lots of printers have bluetooth now.
You don't promote yourself enough
the splash screen disappears at about the right rate to see it but not have to wait for it to disappear but...how about have it avail in settings as an "About NAIPS" with the version/date/web address
Do we use this thread as a wishlist/bugfix contact or do you want to go off pprune.

Next version I'll look at putting text size in the settings.

I'll keep monitoring this thread though and try to reply whenever possible.

Gotta go take the dog down the beach for now, I'll answer any questions tonight. For now I have an FAQ on naips.wordpress.com which should answer most things.
Thanks for all the feedback!

I just used naips and it worked for the first 5 codes I put in: NZAA, NZWB, NZCH, NZDN, NZNV. It got met for aukland and christchurch, and notams for all of them.
It probably works the same way where you can get Sydney, Melbourne etc from the US weather programs, so yeah - somebody would probably need to write their own program for IFIS.

Airservices made me put the following in the program:
"...Not for operational use, users of this product should log on to Airservices Australia - Flight Briefing - Pilot Briefing Services to check the accuracy of any information obtained in using this application".
I read that as - don't rely 100% on this product and carry paper backups. However in saying that, if you don't have access to any of that, then iPhone met/notams is better than no met/notams at all! I personally use it to read met on the way to work, then get a quick update in the cockpit before I takeoff on a long flight. That way I can capture any changes since I printed it an hour before. You can also download updated met airborne if you want.
I don't see any problem in using all tools available to your advantage to get the most accurate, up-to-date information, however remember there are other ways to get weather such as FLIGHTWATCH.
Also what you are seeing on your screen is the direct output of the page that airservices displays. Straight from their computers to your screen. All I do is cut out the html up to the <pre> tag and whack it up, so the text you are reading has not been modified at all and is exactly the same as visiting the airservices website.

Notwithstanding basic airmanship, but the rules are as follows:
CAR 239 Planning of flight by pilot in command
(1) Before beginning a flight, the pilot in command shall study all
available information appropriate to the intended operation,
and, in the cases of flights away from the vicinity of an
aerodrome and all I.F.R. flights, shall make a careful study of:
(a) current weather reports and forecasts for the route to be
followed and at aerodromes to be used;
(b) the airways facilities available on the route to be followed
and the condition of those facilities;
Nothing about carrying the weather in hard copy. Just as long as you have studied it.
Shags - can ASA tell via IP addresses how you logged in? Can it tell the different using your iphone safari browser and your program?

Second point - The user agent string I send with naips is "Mozilla/3.0 (compatible)" or something, so it will appear as if you are accessing their site with Firefox. Mobile Safari sends a huge long string starting with "Mozilla/5.0...." which is how websites know to display in mobile format (if they support it).

Only too happy to support such a great job on the App. Thanks for allowing me to be part of the beta testing and would volunteer willingly for any further testing. Well done Shags! I hope you make a killing for all your hard work.

Also purchased, thanks for letting me beta test - fantastic app and still worth every cent in my opinion. Hope it returns the cost of the sdk and some coldies as well. All the best with having it on the app store.

Something else I made for myself - just submitted this to the app store (should be available 25Jul09). Only took a few days to make so I'll release this one for free.
