I had garmin, foreflight, and wingx installed on my Iphone. I had to drop down to 3500 to 5000 or so feet to get a refresh on the weather. At 8500ft, i never could get reception. Maybe an external antenna would have solved the problem. With skyradar, i can get weather at any altitude, and sometimes traffic.
Which avaiation app are you using with your skyradar 2? I am wondering if it is compatiable with Foreflight?

Default skyradar app

I'm currently using WingX with skyradar. Skyradar also has an app but Wingx seems to have a lot for features for the $$. I liked both Garmin and Foreflight but Garmin is not compatible and I'm not sure about Foreflight. I get just the basic Wingx subscription because I am only using it for weather and traffic and backup navigation. It has a lot more features than the others but those things don't currently interest me.

New Ipad mini with the Retina display was announced that its debut will be in late November according to Apple. I wouldn't be surprised if Black Friday weekend is announced.

Default GDL39 and Foreflight

GDL39 only provides the GPS input to Foreflight but not the ADSB/Traffic, I have the Garmin App also which get the ADSB from the 39.
