Well, personally I'd rather download all areas of interest right after AIRAC and be prepared (EFB), rather than clicking through various countries. Server traffic costs should be well covered by our annual fees.
The other issue is, how to access and find airport plates. One has to always go via the map - Information - Charts...
Who needs those rankings? This is a nice to have feature IMHO - but not the most important one when scrolling through an AIP. This makes research and planning just a bit more cumbersome :-(
I hope our feedback will be considered!

+xDid they state a reason for doing so?
Again, very sad, that SkyDemon does not listen to its users :-( Nothing concrete - traffic on servers, users downloading what they don't need, etc. I think this is not correct - you just don't add the charts/regions you don't need.

+x+xHi Tim,
Is there any update on this? The problem is still there - on a Windows computer I am able to "download all countries" in AIP, while on Android the option is not there. I've attached the screenshots - for all countries I cannot do anything other than select a country and inside a country I actually CAN download AIP. Got the latest SkyDemon (unable to install anything newer from Google Play).
Thanks!
Regards, Alex.
Am I doing something wrong? Or am I the only person now experiencing the problem? Thanks!
Hi all, just called the SkyDemon support phone number and I've been told that this change was intentional, there will be NO "download all countries" on Android version, at least for now. JFYI.

'There is a Download button in the AIP section of each Country screen. It's a little cloud with a down arrow on it.'
Sorry to have started a separate thread on this. I did use the search facility but it missed this link.
Looking at Android version 4.0.0 I cannot see anything other than the individual country download clouds mentioned above. Is there an integrated download prompt on its way or are we stuck with having to visit each individual country for updates?

I fully agree with the former people who replied. Please give us back the button "all country's" download.
With kind regards Freerk

I concur with the earlier comments. This seems like a major step backwards. I liked the way it was set up previously that related the AIPs that would be "downloaded" with the charts that had been downloaded.
One specific comment to the new set up. I can download the UK AIP but when I look at "All countries" I see also Guernsey, Jersey, and the IoM - but I'm not able to download the e.g. Guernsey AIP. I assume that's because it's part of the UK AIP, but I shouldn't need to assume.
Please may there be a return to the one-button function that "downloads" the AIPs pertinent to the charts I have down loaded. I say pertinent, as I know in the past there were some decisions made as to what was pertinent - e.g. including the Danish AIP when the Germany chart was downloaded - for a reason I forget.
Finally, I've put the word "downloaded" in inverted commas. Most of the time the function "Download AIP" doesn't mean that. It means "update the previously downloaded copy to the latest AIRAC cycle". It would be good if this could be tidied up.

Just to add:
I finally got a TestFlight notification for the 4.0.0.397 version on my iPad yesterday!
