There’s lots of good news with the latest update of ForeFlight Mobile. Version 4.4 improves on the already silky-smooth interface and adds a few handy features, the most noteworthy of which is Documents, which might not be worth the mention if it weren’t for the fact that ForeFlight is a world-class app to begin with. Everything works just as well or better than before, such as flight planning, which is now fully graphically enabled, with pop-up info boxes, drag-and-drop editing, full-route weather and more at your fingertips.
