Beware, if you updated the app to the newest 4.4.8 release, check your maps and procedures.
I realize this is a free app and you get what you pay for (I use it only as a backup) but I just wanted to forewarn other users that they might lose data.
It seems that after an update to the new 4.4.8 release and an Airport Database update I was prompted to do, the app deleted all procedures and later also all maps. After updating other data, such as A/FD (they still haven't fixed the name), diagrams etc, those are still showing as outdated.
Downloading the deleted procedures and maps manually worked fine so there is a fix. Same for the A/FD and Misc, downloading them one or two more times will eventually give you the newest ones. You just need to be aware and download manually.
I recommend a trick: after you've updated maps, go in and delete expired maps. CHECK that you still have maps left, mine disappeared all again.
This happened actually twice so it does not seem to be a fluke.
Just be careful and CHECK your data after an update and download so that you are not up there in the air thinking "where did my maps and procedures go?"
