I tried to go to the AOPA Flight Planning web page today, and found that

the
only option remaining is to download a Microsoft-only application. This
seems annoying.


Why should AOPA devote substantial time and resources to develop something
that much less than 3% (the percentage of non-MS systems in homes out there)
of their readership would ever use?

I can think of a kajillion other things I'd want my dime spent on other than
designing an app to please almost none of their sponsorship.

On the other hand, I'm sure there are some enterprising pilot/developers out
there who would absolutely jump at the chance to devote a thousand hours
designing an app for the few hundred people in your same shoes. Why, I'd
bet you pay them ten pr perhaps even fifteen bucks for such a killer app,
right?

Resistance is futile.
