Hi Tim,
Have you considered to integrate the Apple Watch in future releases as a remote display and alert device?
Best,
Marc

I was considering a Garmin D2 delta but that would have meant switching over to the Garmin Pilot app. I tried it, but think it is inferior to SD (at least for VFR flight), so no go. Also, that watch is mightily expensive.
Functionality that fits particularly well on a watch:
- timers (switch tanks)
- FLP plan filing and closure (preparation is better done on iPad beforehand, but I usually submit when I arrive at the airport)
- Time/Distance until next waypoint/arrival
- warnings/alerts (?): might be somewhat intrusive though
- next radio freq (I just love this feature in the profile view: you see which Freqs are coming up)
Smart watches are here to stay. Integration with SD would certainly be a plus. If I was CEO of SD, I would stop development on PC (to free resources), and start with Apple Watch.
Regardless: SD still reigns as it is.
