Ratings and reviews

Been using this app for years and it's a great replacement for those who don't have Apple. however it's become borderline useless. It asks me to login EVERY time I open the app or lose Internet connection. I always thought it was extremely excessive asking every day before, but now I can't even use it while flying. I'll often need to log in multiple times in one flight due to lost cell service while aloft. This app would easily be 5 stars if I only had to log in once and it never asked again.

Edit: Thanks for the quick reply! I had confused "Max Zero Fuel weight" with "Hull weight" as I haven't ever heard it called that before. Leaving one start off for a bit of clumsiness in the UI, but maybe I'll get used to it as I go. Otherwise it's looking like it has some potential! Original post: First thing I tried was the weight and balance screen and i was unable to get it to work. just keeps saying my gross weight is -1.

UPDATE 2/29/20: Returning to aviation after a 12 year hiatus, I found that this has all the stuff I used to need a flight bag full of charts and gear for. Although operation is fairly intuitive, a better tutorial laying out the finer points would have improved my learning curve. Very slow (∼3 wks) responding to my claim for an advertised discount on a subscription, and my free trial expired, but ultimately they refunded the difference. Other reviewers report better response times from Support.
