Looks great. Is it Free/Libre/Open Source Software, and did you consider putting it on F-Droid, for people that eschew Google Services on their devices and the terms of conditions / personal data collection of having a Google account?

Do these things ever ‘migrate’ across to iOS?

Hi Peter,

Good question I’m rather busy with work at the moment, but if there’s enough uptake with the Android version, I might make some time to port (re-write it) for the iOS (iPhone/iPad/Apple) platform.

All the best,
Jamie

Hi Lionel,

I just saw your post. I understand your thoughts/concerns about Google accounts and privacy. Whilst it might be possible to distribute the APK outside of the play store, the play store does offer a number of protections in screening for malware/security issues, which non-play store users would be exposed to.

The E6BJA app is free, but it is not opensource. This means that it is provided freely, but the source code is private. This is because, in my experience, when code is made opensource, yes there is development, but often private companies take the code and put it behind their paywall making it a commercial product.

Best,
Jamie

E6BJA now has a Holding Pattern Computer — I released an updated version (v1.5) of the app a few days ago to include this feature. [ Existing users can simply upgrade to get the new feature ]

All the best,

Age limit starts at 4! I don’t know about your kids, but isn’t that aiming a bit too high?

Thanks for the effort taken! As a student I’ll have a closer look at it ..

Haha funny – that’s one of the ages set by the Apple store :-P
