GUI

Elements of the Graphical User Interface on an iPhone are way to small and renders this application unusable.

Best Glass Cockpit App

Best Glass Cockpit App I have seen so far. It is easy to handle and has everything inside (Attitude, 3D Synthetic Vision, Moving Map, PFD, etc). Charts are also very good.

I would like a vertical phone position. With the attitude in the top half and map/HSI on the bottom half.
