it would be nice to have either a completely automatic update or a single button to click that will automatically update both the free AIP charts and the "products" that have been purchased. this could be combined with the update message for charts and would simplify keeping a backup device up to date before going on a flight. updates shoudl apply to all plates and documents that are available offline.

Hi,

I second that. This is the button I'm waiting the most for. Each time I plan a long trip, flying over 2 or 3 countries a day, I'm afraid of not having updated every single piece of information I could need at some point. It takes 10 or 15 clicks to go through every single AIP/product page and make sure they are up-to-date. If you add the download time, it means spending a lot of time, also.

I don't understand why AIP/product refresh is made so difficult for the user, as it should be almost transparent.

Fully agree. It is fine that one can select to update each downloaded AIP and each purchased product individulally (so that it can be performed quickly).  But a single (optional) button for updating all the downloaded AIPs would be of great help.
