Impressive Revision to a Solid App
This is a great upgrade to the Foreflight Mobile application, including some important back-end tweaks and impressive changes to the user interface. You now get more control over the data, choosing what you want to keep local on the phone (only the sectionals you need.) You also seem to get more information at your fingertips period. This also finally seems to be the integration of the Charts app with the Foreflight app in that you can now view your intended flight path over everything including VFR sectionals, IFR sectionals, street maps and even current radar and satellite imagery! These maps can now also be variably zoomed using the iPhone touch control which is not true of the weather maps in the previous version. It is true however, that the the trade-off for the free price of this new app is that the data is now served through a subscription model. This is still the best aviation planning/weather app going and the central data from third party partners has been dramatically improved. If you loved the most recent version, you'll love this one. If you have reservations about the subscription, keep both apps and try the 3 month plan with the new one. Then you can decide if the subscription is worth it. After just a few minutes using the app, I think it is.
Subcription based updates :(
4-stars for new users. 1 star for previous owners who already paid $70 for v2. Previous owners should get atleast a $70 credit towards subscription fees.
I still get same data from other iPhone apps without a subscription so I don't see me keeping this one.
That being said, I love this app and will give it a fair trial and update my review then.
Beware, change to subscription model!
For users of Foreflight 2.4, this is going to require you to sign up for a subscription ($40 for 1 year on a 35% off promotion or three months normally for $25).
There are minor improvements throughout the entire application, but nothing major. I'm not sure why I would move over to this unless they don't plan on supporting 2.4 or if the feature set in 3.x grows and lures me to it.
After paying $80 for Foreflight I didn't expect this so soon, too.
Also, I couldn't get any of the Nearby Airports funcitons to work today on 12/16. I'll try again later and revise my review.
