I also find it frustrating that the Download All facility has gone away (on iOS in my case).  If I'm crossing 5 countries on a flight, I don't want to have to download each in turn, waiting for one after the other to finish.  Am I missing a trick?

Hi Julian,

Nope, it has stopped working. After I've called SD on the phone, I've been told something in the lines of "it's not a bug, it's feature".

Regards,
Alex.

I would still very much appreciate having a button like before that allows me to download all updates at once. I often fly across Europe and have to manually click through all the country flags each time, as the automatic update via planned routes often doesn’t work or there is poor mobile coverage.

At the very least, if a separation is necessary to save server capacity, larger regions such as North America, South America, Europe, and Asia should be available. Ideally, however, all purchased AIP data – just like the standard AIP and charts in Germany – should be downloadable at once.

I love SkyDemon, but I want to have everything ready with a single click at home. Updating everything manually every 30 days is just unnecessarily tedious. I would really appreciate it if you reconsidered your decision—especially since server capacity really shouldn’t be an issue nowadays.

Especially because I have to do this on my iPad, backup iPhone, and Mac for precise planning. 😊

I’m looking forward to the upcoming updates – all past updates have always been truly fantastic, but I really miss the old “Download All” button! big hug & thanks from germany - take care.

I also would like to vote for a 'download all you've got' button.
With three tablets, a phone and a PC to update individually every twenty eight days it's a major chore.

I believe it's a tradeoff between user usefulness and IT resources/bandwith/traffic issues.
Most of us probably downloaded all AIPs every month and used 1-2 of them (if at all). The approach, to only download those who are useful for the upcoming trip(s) - and thus save precious bandwith - is sensible IMHO. Still, I think there should this possibilty, maybe via a once-off add-on payment for the added bandwith usage. What do you think?
