Version History Simple patch fix for one specific class of ADSB devices. If your ADSB device is having issues, you'll want this patch ASAP. 14.1.38 Sep 23 1. Sketching Revamp - drawing now keeps up with your finger, with far more of the detail you put in. Strokes appear the instant you draw them, the small wobble of a moving hand is smoothed away, and sketches stay sharp as you zoom instead of thinning out or breaking into dashes. A quick tap always leaves a clear, round dot. Starting a pinch no longer leaves a stray mark behind, and Undo and Redo take effect immediately.

2. Visual Approaches at More Airports - smaller fields that carry no surveyed runway coordinates are now supported. iFly estimates the runway geometry, so the approach path, runway and landing route all draw and can be added to your plan. Estimated runways are labeled "(estimated)" in the runway menu.

3. New Visual Approach Entries - choose how you join the pattern. Pick your runway, then tap the Transition to set your entry: a straight-in when you are lined up on final, a direct downwind when you are arriving from the dead side of the field, or the standard 45.

4. Improved Night Mode - what you type is now clearly visible. Entry boxes were drawing text in nearly the same shade as their own background, so the field looked empty until you saved. Flight plan names, checklist entries, waypoints, Weight & Balance figures and the Add Waypoint search now read clearly as you type.

5. Improved Weight & Balance - fuel entries are now checked against tank capacity, so you are warned right away if a number exceeds what the tank can hold.

6. Improved Satellite Imagery - your account's Satellite Imagery access is recognized again, so the imagery layer is available when you are signed in.

7. Improved Custom Waypoints - the NavLog and the "Next WP" instrument now show your waypoint's name instead of its latitude and longitude.

8. Improved Measure Tool - a pinch no longer steals the two-finger Measure Tool, the measured endpoint no longer sits slightly off, and a new measurement now starts where you tap.

9. Improved Checklists - the checklist you open from the instrument and the one you run over the map are now the same form, so the layout and wording no longer change as you move between them. "Next" names the item it is about to check off, a finished checklist says DONE, and Swap sits with the list name.

10. Improved Plates & Diagrams - the plate menus and "More Plates" now stay with the airport you picked, the plate image refreshes correctly when you toggle between approaches in full-screen view, and "Auto-Show Apt Diagrams" is now reachable from the Plates button.

11. Improved Flight Planning - Real Plan results keep the departure time you chose, Airport Info opens reliably when a NOTAM's relevance window falls outside your plan, and tapping a row in the Flight Plan List expands it reliably after you delete a plan.

12. Improved Data Update - the Data Update map now renders correctly across all screen layouts, including when the screen size changes mid-session.

13. Improved Device Sync - now handles thousands of saved Flight Trails gracefully.

14. Improved Stability - "Update Weather from Internet" no longer freezes the app when you are offline.

15. Improved Nearest List - Caribbean airports (Puerto Rico / U.S. Virgin Islands) are now ordered by actual distance.

16. Improved Altitude Callouts - the "500" callout now resets more readily.

17. Improved Layout on Smaller Tablets - bottom button rows now fit the form width, and the Airport Info buttons are wider and easier to hit in portrait. 14.1.37 Sep 1 The 14.1 update adds several new features and refinements across the app.

NEW
• Visual Approaches: set up a visual approach to your landing runway — iFly draws the approach path plus runway and landing route lines to line you up on final.
• Mini Checklist Pane: a slide-up pane that keeps your active checklist over the map, auto-collapsing finished sections and opening the next.
• Printable NavLog (PDF): generate a leg-by-leg navigation log and print or share it as a PDF. Plus a new Fly-Over planning option and anonymous flight plan filing.
• Approach Altitude callouts, with an on/off toggle and threshold policy.
• Traffic "Dangerous" (±1500) clearance threshold.
• MOS weather guidance alongside METAR/TAF/Winds/PIREP.
• Vertical & Horizontal Path instruments that show your deviation from the planned path.
• Temporary tower NOTAMs on the Airport view.
• Plain-language wind shear/shift decoding, and METAR temperature in Fahrenheit.
• Custom Waypoint export, and Generic ADS-B weather-uplink support for more receivers.

IMPROVED
• Traffic awareness: clearer labels, relative-altitude quick info, and safeguards so dangerous traffic always alerts visually and audibly.
• Faster, more reliable alerts and audio callouts.
• Data Update ("Check For Updates"): cleaner, larger map, faster area selection, and no more shutdowns for a license check mid-update.
• TFRs now show all altitude bands, and "Nearest ATC" includes low-altitude frequencies.
• Clearer object search; the "Altitudes" form now shows each airport code.
• Night Mode now persists across restarts.

FIXED
• Improved overall stability and reduced memory use.
• Fixed display orientation and scaling.
• You can now keep flying with corrupted or missing data files while offline, instead of being locked out.
• Plus miscellaneous bug fixes.

This name change to 'iFly EFB' marks the beginning of an exciting new development plan, as we're able to make use of more recent device technology advancements. This name change does *not* affect core functionality or user experience. In the next few releases, we will be incorporating many of the improvements and features that were developed with the beta iFly EFB project over the last couple years.
