App intermittently logs users out-deletes favorite charts

This application continues to log me out at irregular intervals. That in and of itself isn’t that big of a deal, however when I log back in all my favorite charts are gone. I save them in a particular order for my self briefing. What’s more is that I must add the charts back in, in reverse order of viewing. There’s no function that allows shifting the order of charts saved.

Very good improvement

The vertical profile is a huge improvement over previous versions! No more need to iteratively scan different flight levels RPM forecasts and the punch and zoom functionality within the vertical profile really helps me get a better picture of the forecasted turbulence before and during flight without connectivity. I have used it on a couple of Hawaii flights and one trans-con and so far I really like this new version.

Agreed - still very buggy

On a recent trip it was unusable offline. Online, it worked fine - I was able to download all the weather maps that I needed and it all looked fine. Then when I tried to use it in the plane - zippo. Freeze, crash. Rinse and repeat. Tried the double click/close thing several times - nothing. Totally useless. But then, the next day, after downloading new weather, it worked just fine.

Surprising that this can't be easily fixed.
