Sliding in quality

I’ve noticed some airports are disappearing from this app. Particularly in the Caribbean! Port au Prince now gone in addition to some full countries!

Was good something happened

Changes have drastically reduced the availabiity of charts a lot has been removed or changed and updated its all messed up when i first bought the app it was great now something has gone very wrong not happy as i payed alot of money for an app which is now dysfunctional and of no use due to the lack of missing files e.t.c

Not Worth The Money

I share the same sentiment that the other reviewer about plates not downloading. I used to use this app all the time but here within the last week everything stopped working. I took a fall giant leap paying for this but now I'm sure it wasn't the best investment.

No Response

This program is a serious waste of money. None of the USA plates will download and continues to give errors. I can’t stress enough to not purchase this product. Its plates never get updates and so most of them are useless. I can only give it a 1 star because there is no stars to give it a negative review
