How many times has it happened to you? Having your mobile device fall asleep or you need to cycle through to another app in the midst of a big Airport Data download to ForeFlight? The app will now continue to download the charts and data selected when the app shifts to the background, so pilots can use other apps without interrupting the stream. The ability to drag and drop multiple files at the same time has also been added—and it works with any Document Drive docs or folders.
