We miss the ability to annotate. It was handy to use line, notes, text boxes, etc. Vertical scrolling is ok but wish there was an option to go page facing if desired. Bookmarks work well but you have to know what pub you put the bookmark in as no way to search all of your bookmarks. You have to be in the correct pub to see bookmarks you placed there. I get the reasons to put the AFM, AOM, MMEL at the top. Standardization is good but it would be nice to allow the customer to choose the top three pubs.

But the “new” version is basically a stripped down run-of-the-mill pdf reader. My 2 biggest disappointments: forced vertical scrolling (yes, I’ll admit to being from a generation that is used to flipping pages side-ways.) But, biggest fail: removing all options for writing/drawing on the pages. Rectangles were my favorite tool for working with the classic spaghetti charts. Anything else (or, actually, nothing else, as it turns out) is just not okay!!

Seriously … PlaneBook was an excellent app, and now it’s been wrecked. Forget drawing tools and highlights, now you can chase tabs and charts with your finger to find the wrong answer. I completely hate it. PlaneBust 😑
