Hi,

I use Skydemon for Ipad. When I'm flying 6 minute sightseeing flights in a helicopter, timing is very critical. The cockpit only has an analog clock and precisely reading of the minutes can be a bit tricky. I was wondering if Skydemon has a simple built-in stopwatch or timer feature that I can use for this purpose? At the moment I use the standard stopwatch feature on IOS but I have to keep switching between it and Skydemon. The best thing would be something of an overlay in Skydemon.

If Skydemon does not have this as a feature, tips for an app or widget of some kind would be greatly appreciated!

Than I advise to send the venerable iPad Mini 2 to rest in peace and get a decent iPad. 6 years old technology is not really the best way to do things in flight and your request is the typical application for iOS split-screen. Why should Skydemon invest in developing a function the operating system already has?

My ipad works fine, I'm not going to throw it away for such a small problem.

I never suggested that SD has to develop anything like this. I was merely asking if anyone had a simple solution to my problem. It turns out the answer is no. I'll manage. 

Thanks for the info
