### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2026-02-09*

There are two great things about this app that I like. First it is truly plug-n-play. Absolutely no fumbling around, it connected right away. I’m 71 and I really appreciate that. Second is it is not a subscription. I will gladly pay for premium if it’s not a subscription.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind words sir. Enjoy your flights!

### 5/5 — Super
