## What is fflya?

FFlya is an Airline version of the Chiimp product that optimizes connectivity, and has features designed to work with more users. This version has the ability to send and receive Emails and SMS only and now with the ability to send Chat messages. 

The App connects the iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth to an Aircraft Bluetooth 4 LE server.  

FFlya is the ideal solution, for the following reasons: 
1. Operates via Bluetooth, which is documented and tested as safe for use in aircraft. 
2. Provides a data interface for Smartphone and Tablets 
3. Requires only low cost portable equipment to interface with satellite and terrestrial networks. 
4. Can be retrofitted without requiring certification. 
5. Allows more users to connect than Chiimp.

7. Enhances the existing broadband service by the addition of an SMS/messaging service. 
8. Connects passenger and pilot outside of the cellular roaming network, so no roaming charges.

### 5/5 — GR8 APP. Able to message for free on airplane

*2023-01-26, version 3.3.2*

This is great. I flew Wizz Air from London to Iceland. Had free messaging (WhatsApp and texting) by using this APP. 
Wizz Air said it’s not on all their aircraft yet so it’s a waiting game for the other aircraft. 
Something for free on Wizz Air. How about that!

### 1/5 — Restricted access

*2023-01-10, version 3.3.2*

Slovenia as a country is not available which means I cannot connect with my family. Disappointed

### 1/5 — Broken

*2022-04-03, version 3.3.2*

Opening the app takes you straight to registration, but it is not possible to select or type into any of the boxes…

### 1/5 — It’s not working

*2021-12-29, version 3.3.1*

Not even let you log in and save your details - phone number…
Just asking for permission to get access to your contacts details and then nothing. Must be a spam.
