Digital River vs. ForeFlight

Well suited if you are wanting to implement a solution with minimal staff or resources to support a large project such as E-Commerce software delivery.

This tool is perfect for any pilot, whether he or she is an ATP or a student. This is an all-in-one tool for preflight operations through post-flight operations. The subscriptions might be pricey for some people, but the resources it provides, as well as its functions and capabilities, make the paid service very valuable.

• Their flexibility and customizability are lacking. Changes to our cart or store require a lot of lead time discussions and development time.
• They have many strange UI implementations for things. One search bar is a wildcard match, while another is a string match. One setting might break your product, or be editable once, but you cannot change it after that one time.

• It would be helpful to be able to import Cloud Ahoy data onto ForeFlight to see specific instrument data during specific phases of flight.
• When typing waypoints into the Flight Plan section, it would be helpful if pressing backspace simply erases the last character, rather than every character in the waypoint typed thus far.
• It would be helpful to be able to place flight breadcrumbs on the map, even after the breadcrumbs time has expired, for review in the future.
• It would be helpful to include a sum total of ground instruction time in the Experience Report section of the logbook.

N/A I wasn't the person that implemented or recommended Digital River. But from an eCommerce standpoint I liked the organization overall and would recommend it.

First, it is very easy to learn how to use ForeFlight through active use of the products. Additionally, its website has helpful videos and guides that provide tutorials on how to use its resources. ForeFlight also produces helpful legends that helps pilots to interpret symbology correctly. Finally, it is very easy to share documents, endorsements, etc., among ForeFlight users.

• The operational costs of ForeFlight are likely to be minimal, especially when compared to the efficiency gains (e.g., flight preparation, etc.) and potential boosts to safety (e.g., weight and balance calculations, information that can be used for aeronautical decision-making scenarios, etc.).
