However, I think you should avoid statements like this : "iOS is by far the best platform on which to run SkyDemon" because it is misleading for in-flight use. This is because the iPad is barely readable in strong direct sunlight due to a reflective screen which barely makes 450 nits of brightness. In comparison dedicated units like those from Dynon make 1300 nits, which tells us a lot about how bright the display needs to be for some conditions. There are Android units around which are way brighter (like my Sony which hits over 600 nits and is readable in bright sunlight). Additionally, no Android unit I have used has ever overheated in flight. In contrast, if you expose an iPadAir2 to strong direct sunlight in the cockpit whilst running SD in NAV mode, it gets so hot that you can't hold it any more .. and then shuts down. To top this, it can't even tell you it's temperature so you cannot predict when that will happen. This behaviour is why 3rd party companies are making 'cooling' pads or mounts for iPad.

I fly an aircraft with a bubble style canopy and started with the iPad but had to abandon it because it's both unreliable and unreadable in flight. My conclusion is that SD on iOS works better for planning mode, and SD for Andoid is better when in-flight .. not because of the O/S but because of the hardware options on which we have to run it.
