It would be quite interesting to hear comments from people who actually use the software about ways to improve the user experience. Bob (or anyone else using or trying WinPilot), don't hesitate to submit your feedback directly from the app to developers by going into "Settings.Account-Type your message to developers here".

Also, at this point all the known crashing bugs have been fixed, but we are always happy to learn and fix new ones - use the same mechanism to report them.

The software should work quite well on iPhone 6 plus at this time.

Also, there is a new real time Doppler Radar overlay for the Usa users, we are looking forward to hear from people who tried this. If people like it, we can implement it for other regions as well.


Your Winpilot Team.


Concerning Winpilot, I have submitted bugs on the built in feedback mechanism and nothing seems to come of it. My suggestion is that you acknowledge the submission (return email?) somehow and track the bugs. On my iPhone 6+ for example, the glider is offset above the middle and to the left (I am assuming it is not recognizing the screen size and thinking it is running on a 6). Using it in either simulator or GPS mode, just panning around and zooming a few times it will crash, usually within 5 minutes. Is there some way to capture the crash log? It just crashes to the home screen. I would like to see the product succeed, but the support needs to be better or it ain't going to happen.
