If I owned iFly...

My goal would be to make Ifly the best VFR EFB on the market. Many things might apply to IFR along the way, but VFR would be my main focus. I'd measure progress against the best on the market.

I don't know if Foreflight is the 'best', but one thing I noticed, they map most (all?) NOTAMs with geographic references, like circles with lat/long center references. For example, parachute jumping areas and ARTCCs NOTAMS that provide geographic locations.

Yes, we can and should read and absorb textual NOTAMS, but the whole point of an EFB is an easy and visual way for pilots to know how these areas may affect our flights. Even Leidos FSS doesn't do this.

That's my suggestion...any thumbs up?

Thumb's up for NOTAM improvements, yes, but that doesn't have anything to do with VFR vs. IFR.

As someone who files and flies IFR every single flight, I would not use iFly at all if it didn't include the IFR features it has. Gotta say I'm glad you don't own iFly.
