Functionality is good but implementation is lacking - that's not enough for an app I'm paying for to use. - the app is often not responsive - download and extraction of AIP files takes very long and is prone to crashes - app uses too much CPU, I have a brand new phone and it struggles - I receive random messages, e.g. that my card material is not up to date right after downloading it - trip kit isn't working, the app freezes when I try to access it - no offline mode

User Reviews
All charts and AIP are charged extra. It is a bloody shame that DFS and its commercial outfit Eisenschmidt is one of the last european government agencies that charges money for material gathered with taxpayers' money and so hinders aviation safety. Come on Germany, do as other nations do.
