OzRunways bought by Boeing
RWY was the one thing that stopped me moving to Avplan until recently and it would be a real shame if Boeing stopped investing in it.

That's a very good question. OzR spent a lot of time and effort getting RWY to 'look and feel' the same on Android as their main iPad EFB not all that long ago, and IMHO they nailed it.

When you live....
FF Australian subscription is ~$500(USD) vs Ozrunways $279 AUD. Don't know how Boeing would be looking to push Ozrunways users onto Foreflight without them all running for Avplan (might be the best thing that's ever happened to Bevan).
I tried AVPLAN in past but gave up as not as user friendly as OzR.
However I would like to try AVPLAN again if Bevan or someone can point to some improvement in usability, or some good education material.
This OzR change in ownership would seem to be Bevan's golden opportunity. Hope he grasps it by addressing the negatives of AVPLAN whilst retaining the positives.
I am keen to support local business, but AVPLAN needs to improve compared to my last try some years ago.

There are lots of videos on their YouTube channel,
and from personal experience, their support is way better than OzR.
Functionality wise, both products can do more/less the same things. As with any new product, you will need to spend some time learning and adapting to the new product.
I use it both for VFR and IFR..

Best thing about about Ozrunways being sold is that .....

Yeah John, I had a personal interaction with the individual named, an immigrant to this country that called ANZAC's unspeakable names on a public forum. He doesn't know how much those comments cost him financially. an abhorent individual.
Anyone else noticing a very large increase in the app failing of late? It seems to have happened during the latest version with a lot of issues in the testing phase. I am very surprised it was rolled out with the issues still present.
I haven’t noticed an issue. I recommend deleting and re-installing the app occasionally rather than upgrading each time. Same goes with many other apps. You’ll need to export and import the settings and waypoints which is a little annoying but it will perform better afterwards.
Yeah, haven't noticed any issues either, could you perhaps elaborate on what you mean by "Failing" and what device you're using? I'm assuming you've also contacted them and put in a Ticket?
The app is closing down. I have not run a ticket yet as I do participate in the testing versions, with a process to report any issues in the app itself - reopens and send a message. I was recently encountering similar issue son work units that do not use TestFlight and only use the released version. I have shut the iPads down and restarted. I will try the uninstall/reinstall suggestion.
It is usually a very solid app.
