Just downloaded the latest BETA release and synched FPs, etc. Once again, I am frustrated by the fact that I keep "getting back" FPs that I NO LONGER WANT. They seem to persist in the IFly Master File for my deviceS , even after I delete them multiple times. And, worse, I have accidentally cross-synched after I cleaned out one device... only to get them back from the other!

THE SOLUTION: ONE FlightPlan database per user, no matter how many devices are in use. Along with that, should be the ability to view that database on a PC or tablet, "see" the file names, dates, etc. and DELETE* by checking a box next to it and sending multiple files to oblivion at once! This 'one-at-a-time' stuff is so 1960.
Obviously, it would be nice to have the same/similar abilities to handle Waypoints, Acft Profiles, Checklists, etc. which also have the nasty habit of 'coming back' when you don't want them!

Other options could be "send to Device," with a pop-up to pick the de vice(s) you want it to go to, and I'm sure there are other applications for this same process.

Chime in if you've got one! (And please up-vote if I figured out how to add that option :() Me? Oh I'm going to go delete 300 flight plans from my #1 tablet! %$#@!

This would only be truly effective if our devices were 100% connected all of the time. However, we don't seem to have a "master database" in the cloud that we can manage and sync with. That would be nice. We seem to be managing multiple device databases stored in the cloud. I handle this by considering one of my multiple devices to be the "master" and then I sync my other devices to the "master". I do agree managing a single master database would be an improvement. I've upvoted your request.
