“We are extremely excited to be introducing iFlightPlanner for iPad v2.0,“ said Andy Matthews, iFlightPlanner’s Co- Founder & Director of Business Development. “An incredible amount of effort was put forth by our Crew to make so many great features come together in a way that not only responded to our members’ feedback but truly enhanced the overall experience of flying with iFlightPlanner. We couldn’t be more pleased!”
iFlightPlanner for iPad v2.0 is reportedly one of the first comprehensive flight planning apps for pilots with an interface that fully complies with Apple’s iOS 7 Human Interface Guidelines. The design work for the app was the catalyst for a similar redesign of UI and UX of iFlightPlanner.com, the company’s website. This provides for a more seamless experience for the user, as well as a less cumbersome experience. The app and website have been restructured to work together more seamlessly, so the user doesn’t have to enter duplicate data anymore.
