7. ANY time you plan to Update a chart, first ensure that you have the latest version of Avare and its Database.

1. Edit: Thanks for the update! Solved the restart problem!I have an Android tablet that is so lame that is can not be used for internet however it works great for the Avare map app.
2. Only problem is that as of the last update, any time I open a different window on my device it loses all of the data and have to reenter the flight plan.
3. The last update destroyed the app, lost everything, multiple checklists, routes, weight and balance, plates....having to reload everything still can't get import lists to work, the location of files has changed and can't find it.
4. I recently connected it to Microsoft flight simulator 2020 after following some great instructions from a Reddit user and it works flawlessly.
5. You won't get real-time data other than location, but nav and saved data works great.I really like the app.
6. I have been using Avare on my tablet with the stratux adsb receiver.
7. If you set a destination that's not an airfield (because you want to fly to a certain location over the ground), it's hard to unset that point if you decide that you want to fly a different route.
8. Filing could be improved by adding options to select ICAO equipment and surveillance by a click on options menu rather than looking up and entering all those letters.Excellent EFB app.
9. It's just the basics - moving map, simple flight planning, etc., but it's easy to use and reliable.
10. That said, overall, it's a great application with no ads.It is a simple, easy to use, extremely powerful app that is very stable and rarely if ever crashes.
11. A very powerful and free navigation / flight planning software.
