Better, but still not there
I previously wrote a review for 8 Flight version 1, v2 has fixed a lot of the issues that I’ve seen, but it just gives off this overwhelming belief that the entire thing was built by AI without a lot of testing, a lot of random glitches and bugs, I’ve found the fuel pricing and FBO fees to be either completely inaccurate or outdated more than I expected (probably 10-15% of the time, but the app touts 99.9% accuracy). Better than it was though, for sure.

Best EFB on the Market
I switched to 8Flight as soon as I heard that ForeFlight was being sold to a PE. I was already looking to get away from FF because they were overpriced and kept raising prices without adding more features. I found 8Flight about a year ago and I have no regrets switching to it.
I’ve been using 8Flight now for almost a year. It has THE best weather radar imagery out of any EFB. The turbulence and clouds layers are also really accurate. The flight planning is easy to use and you can file any kind of flight plan.
The app gets regularly updated with new innovative features. Its price beats(significantly) out both of the big name EFB’s yet offers/will offer the same features.
Keep up the great work 8Flight team!

Great value
This EFB is an intuitively designed app that is optimized for Starlink and xm weather data streams. It’s is easy to follow without all of the onscreen clutter of Garmin Pilot or Foreflight. It is still being actively developed and new features are driven by the customer base. Overall a great app for pilots.

8Flight restaurants and attractions
The airport restaurants and attractions displayed on the map really make it helpful when traveling cross country and also give us ideas to go in our Bonanza. Couple that with accurate fuel prices take the guess work out of our planned stops. Love it!!!
ADSB
The team has rolled out excellent features! Finally GDL90 support. My biggest problem were the SIGMET/AIRMET overlays which cluttered the map. I’m GA flying under FL100 so a lot of these were irrelevant beyond flight planning phase.
