How much is the inapp purchases? (I don’t fly cirrus and when I do the effort to adapt checklists to the types I fly, I think I can better start with a template without CAPS)
Are you interested in the POH of a C172SP and a Mooney M20J?
How about a Doodle to see who can provide content for which aircraft types?
I’m happy to contribute if there is a type I can help with.
Hi Guys,
good ideas! Let me talk to my collegues later or tomorrow and we’ll decide how to do it. I am personally willing to let users do checklists and even share the (little) revenue the checklists will make, but this is a joint venture with an app company (i am no programmer) into which both parties a couple of thousand Euros each … so i have to discuss it with them.
Of course it would be great to have long list of available checklists. And I have some good ideas for new features too!

Sorry, of course JSON (sorry JASON :-))
I should be able to work that format, especially if I have some sample checklist.
I’ll send you one, and the contact to my friend who does the checklists. But at the moment I can only offer you a promotion code to download the app for free!
How much are the additional checklists? For a PA28-181?
Ok ignore my previous question as I have now purchased the app and the PA28-181 checklist. Sterling effort so far although some immediate comments:
Other than that it’s an excellent application and one which I will be using when my flying season starts (once this wet and gloomy UK winter passes!)
(I am about to write a short first manual, which you can see in german and english on www.airwork.biz in about one hour. No pictures yet, thos ewill be added later!)

Please allow some time to react to the other wishes. We are glad that we made it so far with our tight budget (… which was still over € 10.000, and I have of course worked for free ;-)) . We have many ideas to improve the app and we have also developed ideas for at least five great tools. But we’ll have to see if such a product has ANY chance on the market. Just imagine how many you have to sell to only earn the development costs (Apple gets 30 percent).
Aw, come on Alexis. At the very minimum everybody on COPA will buy the app 
Let’s just say 5.000 for arguments sake, so that is 5.000 times EUR 8,99 less 30% for Apple which comes to roughly EUR 32.500. That would cover your initial cash investment and a bit of your time. And maybe even one or the other person flying a different a/c might buy the app as well. You know how most pilots love to play with technology.
Kidding aside, I think it’s a great effort and I will try it out, too.
Yes, that’s the type of calculation I like. But I also know reality :-)
I just finished a new version of my classic book with flyig stories. It will come out under the “National Geographic” label in April. The price will be € 16.90 or something. Guess how much the author makes (the author is the person who had the idea for the book and who actually wrote those 470 pages) 40 Eurocents per copy ;-)
It would be GREAT if the app made enough money so I could a) pay my friend who did the checklists in his free time and b) I could develop a version 2. That’s really my only goal.
