Thanks for your comments!
1) I didn't know that about issuing a FOIA to get higher res charts, but I'm not sure it would be very feasible. Our server processes the NOAA updates in real-time, and charges change nearly every day.
2) I totally agree, and only iNavX seems to do that, and I think we can do it cleverly. The one big feature that did not make Skipper 1.0 is the ability to press and hold on the chart mosaic, to surface the entire chart, and pan/zoom it with collars, insets, and all.
3) We do render the navaids using the ENC data. It's not perfect, but if you zoom in enough and tap on the navaid symbols on the charts, you will be able to interact with them (info, guidance, etc).
4) I hear you on the website text, and marketing is always tough. For now, we're emphasizing the automatic syncing between devices/web, automatic chart updates, the good UI, and friendly support. "Done right" is just a phrase we use so you keep reading, and find out what we mean by that. In general, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, and I think we're always going to get accused of smarminess by some. There are certainly a million things we could do to improve the website and other marketing.
