Pros and cons of Airports 4 Pilots Pro - Global app for iPhone and iPad

Airports 4 Pilots Pro - Global app good for

As an airline pilot I do miss some ILS information. Besides that a good application to find info on not so much used airfields along the route.
Hopefully as time goes by, other countries airports will be as detailed as those in the US.
Bought this app and then downloaded the Canadian database. Its totally useless as it does not list if there is fuel available at the airport I was planning of going to.
Good program but it would be nice to provide an opportunity to change the font for the iPhone, it is very small letters!
All the information you need for airports in a simple but extremely informative format especially when you need it the most. Only downside is my database airport info has expired and cant find a way to update it
I just downloaded app at 0400hrs and discovered the facilities data has expired on Oct 22. I E-mailed support and within minutes got an answer. Apparently, update held up at app central. Otherwise, great tool!

Some bad moments

"Now contains Global database" - no, it does not! Its available for a ridiculous extra charge as in-App-purchase. Will complain about description.
Bought Canadian upgrade and was very disappointed as most of the airports that I fly to were not listed. Needs all the airports listed in the Canada Flight Supplement to make this a worthwhile App.
Watch your wallet. This app is much more expensive than you think. Every time you want some information you have to pay for another module.
Only works for 3 months and then disabled and does not work. You have to purchase an update every 3 months. This is only $.99 for US, but $4.99 for any other country (Including Canada). For whole world it is $49.99
A lot of Canadianisme airports are missing. If you fly in Canada, dont use this application. Waste of money
Bought this app a year ago, it has some useful info, BUT. Apparently the cost of the app and the .99 cents every few months is for only a year. After that they want 5.00 per month or 35.00 a year to keep it going. Its worth the initial cost for some of the info, NOT worth the cost after a year. For that price you should get alot more airport info which you dont. Not worth your time or money.
