Honest advice from Tim: Looking for an 8-inch Android? Don't! There is simply no mature modern model available that can compete in quality, performance, sunlight readability and price with the iPad minis. When you do find a great 8-inch Android tablet, please share your experience with us so we can mention it here.

Compatibility with EasyVFR 3

EasyVFR 3 and EasyVFR 4 are two separate apps. If you have an EasyVFR license which you purchased via PocketFMS.com, you can use both apps simultaneously.

In theory, nothing even stops you from using both EasyVFR 3 and EasyVFR 4 on the same device. Flight plans can be shared and are compatible with both versions. However, if problems do arise, please notify us by submitting a bug report on the forum.
