I agree. iPads are poor in the cockpit. I have used all types including minis and retina. Hopeless. Reflective screens that perform poorly in any daylight, leave alone in direct sun. Added to which they shut down when hot. This happened to me at a very inconvenient moment when I really needed Skydemon.

I won't be using iPads in the cockpit in future. They are a poor option, until Apple releases a sunlight readable, polarised screen version that does not overheat.

Tim, I hope you continue to develop the windows version in the meantime. When I looked at the comparison table, there didn't seem to be any deficiencies in the comparison of windows and iOS versions. My new device, which runs on windows, whilst early days is infinitely better than than an iPad in the cockpit.

I think the far majority of the people use SD with an iPad. The readability is fine as long as you don't wear polarized sunglasses. The combination of polarized sunglasses and iPad in portrait mode blacks out the screen because the iPad IS polarizes. But hey you should not wear polarized glasses in the cockpit anyway. I use an iPad air2 and had flights up to 2 hours and no problem with overheating at all.
