Connecting Aviators®

Response from developer

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your comments on specific areas. >MODIFY YOUR NAME: When downloading the app, it’s a condition of use to enter your legal first and last name because we want to keep spam out of the app. As part of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy, members agree to enter their legal name. For reference, links are available in the App Store to these agreements. If you need assistance in correcting an error with your name, we are always available to help. Please contact us at support@connectingaviators.com. True user identity is a community value and user requirement. >ACTIVITY: Improving the level of activity is strategically important to us and is the grail of any app. We encourage each pilot to get on the map, invite friends and make connections. Please note that member activities, such as pilot connections, messaging and iSorties are local or group-specific and not shared with the community at large. Building a vibrant community is an ongoing effort. We have marketing initiatives planned to help drive more awareness and adoption. >NAVIGATION: We have followed Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) in the development of our app. The five key navigation areas (Home, Connections, iSorties, Messages, and Interactive Map) are persistently displayed in the bottom row for easy access. Our marketing roadmap includes plans for short instructional videos that provide an overview of the app and guidance on its key features. >GRAPHICAL CLIPPING: Our understanding of this term is that it refers to a glitch where part of a graphical element, e.g., image or icon are cut off or not rendered properly. QA checks for this issue are part of each software release. We’ve now allocated dev resources to assess where new instances of clipping may occur. Once specific examples are identified, we will implement fixes to ensure accurate display across all iPhone and iPad devices, regardless of screen size. >LONG-TERM COMMITMENT: In 2020, Connecting Aviators iOS development began and was first released in May 2021. Since then, the App Store has approved a dozen more releases with various new features and improvements. Detailed notes for each software version release are available in the App Store for Connecting Aviators under the heading “What’s New, Version History.” We remain committed to ongoing improvements to enhance our members’ experience. We appreciate you recognizing Connecting Aviators as a valuable service for the GA community. Our mission is connecting aviators, and we’re owned and operated in the USA by pilots for pilots.
