Seattle Avionics Ends Lifetime Subscription Memberships For FlyQ EFB
In an email to its members, Seattle Avionics, the company behind the FlyQ electronic flight bag app, announced it would be canceling all lifetime subscriptions to the software. The company...www.avweb.com
You bought a lifetime subscription? So sorry, we didn’t really mean it.
Well now it's time for me to look at Foreflight.
There are several good choices out there.Or Garmin
An acquaintance who is in the FlyQ user group on Facebook mentioned that possibility to me. Apparently a pretty angry bunch there.Class action suit?
A full subscription to foreflight for one year costs about as much as the lifetime did. Granted few need the features of the full edition.Well now it's time for me to look at Foreflight.
Wait...What? I want my money back then you lying F#%@s.
make to sure post your displeasure on their Facebook, I did.
One of my employees offered a customer a lifetime guarantee on a modem. He said if it fails, he'd come over and shoot the customer.
Sadly, SA is not the first company to do this. This kind of lack of integrity really bothers me. Going out of business is one thing, but simply choosing to not honor ones commitments is another all together. It seems to be relatively common in the software industry which reflects poorly on that industry and is a sad state of affairs.
I would absolutely do that. My version says IFR subscription Expires Dec 18 2097 and VFR expires Sep 10 2098. I bought this is Nov 27 2015 for $429.99. If we just pro rate it to 2015 thru 2097...thats $5.24/yr. They owe me for 73 years...so $382.52. I would be fine with that.Simply return the unused portion of their product and they’ll return the unused portion of your money.
How dumb is it to announce it the week of Oshkosh when thousands of pilots are gathered and you have forums!

When Seattle Avionics was acquired by AFV here is what they had to say.
Noting that GA is Seattle Avionics’ core area of expertise, Podradchik assured FlyQ’s lifetime subscribers that they would “continue to enjoy great value from the ongoing use of our current products.”
That was September 2020.
Agreed. I hope people will have enough sense not to do further business with SA. This sort of behavior should not be encouraged.
