Wasn't thrilled by this update at first. I talked to the owner and he help me through it,it is having a little trouble but they're fixing it now if you send him an email he will walk you through it. The original one was much better this one has a few issues but they're working through them for example if you have the map in one location and it jumps to another location if you put a route and it will stay on the location that you have it set at. The clarity is getting better when you zoom in. So they're working on that. All in all I think it's one of the better options out there. He's trying to fix any issues it might have and he is very diligent at getting back to you in a timely manner so if you give it a chance I think you can get this to work for you. And yes it does have some downloaded issues but just plug in your phone or iPad let it download overnight it should be fine by morning. Just don't unplug it and make sure that it's plugged in and set it and forget it. It's a very big app and has lots and lots of charts especially the plates so just give The entire night to download and it should be finished by morning for sure. I'm not sure if he fix that one yet I think you may have. But remember it's thousands of charts so it's not unheard of that I could take many hours. All in all I would recommend this app it does serve the purpose at hand and that is putting in a route and being able to follow it while you're flying. It is worth the $3.99 fee.
Great app and easy to use!

I purchased this app, but still had ads. I contacted them & they fixed it right away. Awesome, quick customer service & easiest flight app to use of the ones I've tried!

I liked the old version for its simplicity. It was a good backup for FlyQ.
I've always loved the SkyCharts apps

This app is absolutely one of my favorites, and inexpensive--been using it for years! Now there is the XC version with geo-cached overlay approach charts. It's very easy to use. Double tap near an airport on the chart, and the information appears, including airport facility directories and approaches. It's very easy switch between sectionals, WAC charts, and IFR charts, to name a few. Regions can be downloaded for caching- no need for cellular or wifi. Mostly, it's uncomplicated unlike most of the super sophisticated, and expensive apps out there. I don't need to be fumbling around in the cockpit struggling with an app, if you know what I mean. There is no need to subscribe for the whole year, and can be set up to automatically pay on a monthly basis, or manually per chart cycle.
Scanned not vectors

Appears to be scanned charts; when you zoom in the charts get 'jaggy'.
