Using SkyDemon on iPad, Version 4.0.0.397

With the latest update, I can’t find a way to download/update the entire AIP any more.
I would have to click into each country … quite cumbersome. Am I missing a button?

Also: nice feature to have rankings for popularity and so on.
But I can’t find a way to scroll through all airports/AIP any more. Would always have to take the detour via the map and the context menu.

Can I switch back to the old style? Or can we combine these styles?

Cheers
Markus

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?
