Pros and cons of SocialFlight app for iPhone and iPad

SocialFlight app good for

I fly my plane so much more now that I have SocialFlight! I make it a point to find at least one fly-in to go to a week!
Love the new "Airplane of the Day"! Also, much easier to use and FAST now! Love the way you can search for food and this to do at airports. $100 hamburger, here I come... New chat forums are cool too. Nice job!
The interface is very polished, and keeps getting better. Developer was amazingly quick to respond to suggestions (add Canada). I am finding events that I never would have known about in a million years without this app.

Some bad moments

Very frustrating crashes every time I try to select a photo icon, and regularly for other icons. Like the app normally, but its usefulness just tanked.
Easy to use and a great way to organize a fly out with your buddies!
As another reviewer noted, app looks and feels like a website. App is difficult to use with a lot of non-intuitive buttons. The button that should have been included is a location button so that the app automatically updates the users location. Also there are no events within 500 miles of my airport, which revels a fatal shortcoming of this app--it relies on its own users for information.
App is pointless with no user content. Will need mass adoption to be successful. No events with 400 miles of me. UI is hard to use.
I dont like an app that fights me just to create a user account. May try it in a year when the bugs are out.
Nice app - quickly identifies nearby events. I like the ability to select the timeframe - looking 60 days ahead gives me a lot of events but going to this week or weekend narrows it down nicely. Weather is a nice touch! Have only tried on the iPhone so far but also plan to load on iPad! Not sure I understand the negative reviews - Its nice there is a feature to add an event but it doesnt require user participation for adding events... Keep up the good work!
