A total disrespect for all who already had bought the lifetime licence. Opposed to what i did in the past by recommending this app, now i only have the option to disrecommend this APP. What a lack of character... Pretty sad...

I have bought the app FiF 15.0 with the LIFETIME licence. I understand your monetary policy change, but it should be for NEW customers only. It is highly unprofessional, I believe even against customer protection regulations, to sell the product with lifetime licence and cancel that afterwards. As pilot I have used app for flying regularly, but now I find it highly unreliable as I'm not able to update new database. I am very disappointed with your business politics, I could find cracked version when I at first downloaded it, but I've decided to buy and support your development. Even if I buy yearly licence, how I could be sure that you will not change again your monetary policy to monthly or daily payment for licence? This is not way how to do business.

I bought FIF with unlocker some years ago. Now I want to change the phone where I use the app, and I cannot, I have to buy it again. This not what I bought! I only want to move the app and data to new device, does not matter if my database is old, but I cannot, I have to pay again. Frustrating. Many of as support this app in its origines, and now we receive this in payment for that support. Pay again!!!! Probably next update will be, pay each time you run the app.

Very very very disappointed Petr. We supported you from start and now can no longer use this app. Where is my life long licence that I paid for? Please do not tell me I can use it forever as long as I do not need new database and features. Well the app somehow deleted my old database. How and from where can I install an old database without the app forcing me to a subscription now?? Also a note about subscription. I still have a life long subscription to Sygic car navigation, even though they introduced subscription for new customers, That is what reputable companies do. You were not well advised here. Anyways please respond how to use the app with an old database which is not there?

With open source maps, load-your-own ERSA & not CASA certified, it used to be a cheap & cheerful VFR companion. But with each update (all support to EU & USA) it becomes ever more troublesome. For downunder, add all the wierd terminology to mesmerizing and ballooning array of controls, I'm sad to say it is fast becoming a liability in the cockpit.

Been using this app for several years and never had a problem. Every light sport aviator should try it. Catch ya Ray. OZ.

Great app. Very simple to use. I've been using it for two years around New York City air spaces and LaGuardia and JFK. Works great, highly intuitive.

Became from 5 star great app to inflight forced update useless software. Sad development of a initially great idea. Good for a Sim on the ground but don't use for real flying.

I used the app a few years back during my ppl cross country flights and it was of great help, especially in navigating through the airspaces. That's great value for the money. It would have been nice for the graphics to move smoothly during navigation like for example: waze or Google maps...but I got used with it.

Paid for a licence and it is now asking me for a subscription payment. - explanation was acceptable, however, in normal circumstances, a license would not be revoked in this manner. I suggest adding additional features and selling new licenses. Customers who bought licenses bootstrapped your business providing the capital to grow. More importantly, however, is the loss of trust from customers which is precious currency.

Danger! Estonian airspace incorrect as of mid-April! Avoid usage until fixed! Works like a charm. Much better than some other software from bigger producers. The new logbook feature with GPS track export is nice.
