You can't use ForeFlight and FlyQ at the same time on the Stratus, incl. on two different iPads. That's the only issue. Just reboot the iPad and the Stratus and only use FlyQ EFB and you'll have no issues. Also we always suggest you turn Airplane Mode ON (disables all wireless) then just...

There is no question that pilots tend to prefer (or be stuck with, depending on your POV) Apple products. We make FlyQ Pocket for both iOS and Android and the iOS version dramatically outstrips the Android version and always has. And that's for a phone app where you'd expect a higher percent...

For the record, we invented that feature about 8 years ago for our Windows app (Voyager). It's coming to FlyQ EFB although it's not in the next release. Also, FlyQ EFB version 2.0 is scheduled for an April (or so) release. In my completely unbiased opinion, you'll love it ;) Thanks, Steve

Quick note: FlyQ EFB 1.5 supports all the same ADS-B receivers that WingX does (to the best of my knowledge) plus the Stratus. That includes the excellent FreeFiight RANGR series. You can read more about FlyQ EFB from: http://seattleavionics.com/FlyQ

You make excellent points and clearly know what you're talking about. You're certainly quite correct that companies are free to choose their own business models in most circumstances (exceptions for utilities, monopolies, and so on). There are a few differences with ADS-B, however. The most...

Hi Mark, Thanks for the note. Yes, we absolutely believe in open standards. That doesn't mean we won't develop for closed systems, like Apple's, however as well. We make an app for Android called FlyQ Pocket which is quite popular and we've made Windows apps for 13 years. Off the top of...

One quick note: Earlier in this thread, someone brought up the issue of future Stratus firmware updates potentially interfering with FlyQ EFB's ability to talk to the device. Unlike your PC or iPad, the Stratus has no Internet connectivity and cannot download or install updates by itself. You...

Thanks Jesse. You're quite right about the URL. Too much typing for one day, it seems. So perhaps I try some more? http://www.seattleavionics.com/FlyQEFBFaq.aspx The main point is that ADS-B is a public service paid for by our tax dollars. The over-the-air data format is public and...

The ForeFlight notice does not mention Seattle Avionics or FlyQ EFB by name. That was wise since records indicate that no one using a ForeFlight email address has even downloaded the app. The response appears to be what marketing people call FUD -- Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt. In any event...
