Yes, I know this is not something you can do easily. And I'm well aware several people would like it to be available on their Ipad, Android, Mac, linux device.



The main advantage with a webbased service is that (when done right) the software is platform independent. You can do an awful lot with HTML5 these days. The main disadvantage is off course that you need an internet connection to use the software.



Just a suggestion...

Firstly, congrats on an excellent product. Have used both the online 'light' version, and the eval of the full plan version - both greatly enhance convenience and safety of planning.



I would second the comment of the user above though. As a Mac user I was sorry to read that you've specifically ruled out developing for Mac platform, or the ipad (the later which has arguably replaced Win CE as the way forward).



However, your 'lite' version on the web is excellent, and for just a few more premium features, I would much prefer to pay a web based subscription rather than have to run Windows just to use your software.



I'm not sure how easy it is to program for the web, but based on what you've achieved so far with the 'lite' version, it's amazing. The ability to have more info on the plog, to name user waypoints, define aircraft and see the vertical view of airspace on the web would be fantastic and well worth a premium subscription fee. Also, it would mean I could use it at the airfield or away fields, without having to drag a laptop with me.



Please, please consider.



(And please, please, reconsider Mac/ipad options too!)





And also, I hope that at some point NATS/CAA allow this to be an official source of Notam checking etc.



Keep up the good work
