iFly GPS Forum

Brolin - seems that the current replies to this post - are pretty much in line with the post that you removed.  Non-constructive?  The forum has always existed to get user feedback and has been a source of support for both users and to the iFly program design team as well. 

If getting negative feedback about a change to the iFly system is non-constructive, then it would appear that iFly is only interested in atta-boys and won't tolerate hearing anything less.

Nothing had been posted that was inappropriate from the existing but soon to be shuttered forum users - we were simply letting iFly know that we disagreed with your decision - much like providing feedback on a potential change to the iFly app. 

And my vote? (again) - don't shut out your faithful group of users to just make it easier for you to monitor the forum.  I'd be surprised if the existing forum software can't be or isn't set to notify you folks at iFly when a new post is made - heck I do it all the time for posts that I want to follow.  Like this one..

I have a facebook account that I rarely use, thougt I would ckeck you out. some one tried hack me to sign in on my account . now I'm locked out till I change my password again.

Just another reason not to change.

I will offer up that one thing that's set Adventure Pilot apart from other companies is its longstanding engagement with its customer base, and this forum is how that engagement occurred.  In the early days, it was common for Walter himself to participate in these forums, and even as his participation waned over time there have always been other AP/iFly folks who were here on a near-daily basis.  For those of us in the beta program, the engagement was quite robust at times, often directly with the developers, though over the last two years or so it's been a lot more quiet while the AP/iFly team's been head's-down focused on the new EFB development.

I think AP has benefitted quite significantly from the testing and feedback provided by the beta user community, and the broader user community has benefitted from the bug fixes and UI/feature implementation feedback provided through that subforum.  I wonder how much of that symbiosis will continue over on Facebook.  Maybe with those thousands of users over there it's already happening outside my awareness, and that's why the beta forums here are quiet these days.
