What I dislike is the speed of that solution. I made the experience that the iOS Version is much more powerful und is running better and more smooth. Unfortunately there are some issues running SD on an MacBook with M1 chip. The biggest pain is regarding the print features of the pilot log and the charts from the AIPs. You can use the overlay function but you are not able to print - and to be honest, I prefer having a printed approach chart with me. Are there any plans to fix that? I think the future of Apple will be the silicon platform and with your current iOS Product, you do already have a really good product which makes you able to provide a rock solid version for the new generation of Apple desktop Hardware by fixing the existing issues. I would be very thankful If you can address that task to one of your developers. SkyDemon is the best solution on the market for VFR Pilots. Thank you for providing us that great tool. I do not want to seem ungrateful but as customers it is our job to push you forward ;-)

It will be helpful to use it also on my Mac M1 as iPad app, so i can save the windows emulator and system to buy and install. Edited 7/27/2022 7:48:42 PM by Tom1969

That is a very good message for us. Does this update also fix the issues regarding the known issues with the pdf and report creation. For example approach charts and pilot briefing…? Thank you for fixing that. Bringing SD full features to the MacBook would be really great.
