During a long flight to Scandinavia, I was confronted with a peculiarity of Skydemon that really annoyed me.
When searching for aerodromes with suitable fuel, I used the "Find a destination" and "Fuel availability" function.
The "Airfield Highlight Type" selection is inconveniently deactivated as soon as you tap anywhere on the map. This often happens unintentionally when moving the map or zooming, for example.

User interface design can be difficult.

We had a saying: Idiot-proof systems are for idiots!

I think you can expect SD users in general to be intelligent people. After all, they are pilots!
If someone can't remember why a function is (still) active, they just have to look in the manual. Apart from that, this activated function does not make SD unusable. Most aerodromes also have a small label next to the name. That's all!

Really: Try to find the few aerodromes with UL91 or Mogas on the Sky Demon map in a country as large as Norway! You switch on the function, identify a suitable site, then go to the Pilot Notes and find out that fuel is only available at weekends when the local flying club is active. So get out again and look for the next suitable aerodrome! But wait, the labels have now been deactivated again because you accidentally touched the map somewhere when you had to move them! So everything goes back to square one!

We've been doing this for 10 days now. Annoying!
