Very happy with it
Been running WingX for years. Really like the split screen feature. Support has been great too.

Support is lacking
I love the WingX program and have used it for years, but their support is less than stellar and quite opaque. There’s no option to see what your password is for the account and trying to reset my forgotten one has become a nightmare. I’m almost ready to ditch WingX and move on to something new but I’ll try for a while longer.
A pilot
A hoax and a con. Buy Foreflight.
I paid for what was advertised as the $75 per year advanced IFR, but after they took my money, I discovered that I have to pay $75 twice ($150) to get it. A con and a hoax in my opinion. Get foreflight and be happier… I want my money back!

Never updated
They used to provide a fee free option for a cfi but recently took that away. Since it was free, I had the app installed and every so often would check if there were ever updates to work smoother. Nope. Not sure what their target is for this app, but it isn’t very useful I think the intent of giving out a cfi free version is we would show others such as the students, and they would like what they see and subscribe. I never had a single person choose it, when both foreflight and garmin pilot are full feature apps, that are updated so they actually continue to work. This is a palm pilot based design, and it shows. Only has 2 stars for the former ability to show to others for free, but I’d give it one or less now since they don’t even offer that.

Free usable options and paid option affordable.
Nice app. Seems to be stable and functions well.
