Perry, Avare doesn't have Canadian charts.
I still think the best bang-for-the-buck for Canadians is Air Navigation Pro. One time purchase (no annual fee). Free basemap and terrain data, free airspace overlays. It's not the official chart, but it's enough for a VFR pilot.
FltPlan Go is a close second, the official charts are nice but the lack of terminal charts (VTA's) makes it a non-starter in my area. There's too much going on, and the sectional (VNC) leaves off a lot of the data because you should really be looking at the VTA anyway.

All of my reported bugs are still there, including the lock- up.

MOA Info
I'am loving the new digital charts as I just entered the IPAd age and have fltplan go. Is there a place to check MOA info such as altitudes restrictions on this app? ***Figured it out to turn on SUA's- really liking this app so far. Be great to take it up in the plane and try it out!

I haven't had any crashes with the latest up date of FltPlan released this week. How's it working for others?

Lock up problem seems fixed. Flight plan rubber banding still faulty. I haven't checked the other bugs yet.

"Binders" are now working on the Android version. You can save favorite airports, approach plates, etc. to a binder for quicker reference.
"Checklists" now works on Android as well. Looks like you have to make them on the FltPLan.com website, then they get downloaded to the app. Has anyone made one for an RV yet? The process is rather cumbersome so i'm not going to do it unless I can modify something existing...

Spoke too soon. Lock up fixed, but maps will not work at all after a cold start without an internet connection.
Update**** It turns out that after an upgrade, one must reload the charts and databases, even though the app says they are up to date. Go figure, but this seems to work.
