I would like to have the ability to assign friendly names to synced devices rather than the default "Android Device (8b275fed85078f25d239)" and "Android Device (3dd63f8664e67fd36e)". "My Phone" and "My Tablet" would be much easier to distinguish from each other.

I actually requested this in January 2018, and was told it was being considered.  My original note was: 

It would be super-nice to be able to create Nicknames for devices... I have the multiple device option, and so create flight plans on various devices.  But my "Sync" screen shows 3 Windows devices (2 of which are valid, the 3rd was de-registered (how do I get rid of that?))... but unless I go back to a device and see what it's named, I can't tell from "Sync" which device is which.  So, for example, instead of "Windows uklrxwxthhpt", I could give it a nickname too, so it would read "Windows - Surface Book, uklrxwxthhpt", or "Windows - desktop, ujlrxzxthhpt", etc.
