HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (0.7 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

My only complaint is that you cannot highlight anything. But, you can favorite a page, so its not that big of a deal.

★★★★★Feb 9, 2015
Hard To Beleive

After starting my IFR flight training I knew I needed to get hot on my ground skills too. After several hours of research and reading countless reviews of the various IFR apps on the market, I decided on this one. After using it now for about three weeks, I find hard to believe how much information and functionality this apps contains. The only thing I'd like to see in an update or new build is the ability to print from the app.. CUDOS and keep up the great work guys!
