I'm extremely disappointed that Garmin Pilot for Android is a crippled version of Garmin Pilot for iPads.

Reviews
I enjoy the app for navigation purposes however, I'm a little disappointed I can't use the app without a subscription to simply log a flight. I can do this on a computer which is fine, but the website does not allow the option for an instructor signature. Most of us have touch screens, please consider this change.
The weather doesn't show up.
I would rate higher if Garmin would be more compatible to other than Garmin components and programs. For that reason I'm considering other options. The app works well except for that.
"Not tracking any issues with the logbook feature on the Android app"? Okay... Two more stars added for your sense of humor. Thank you for looking into this. I only wish someone would have listened two years ago when I first reported this issue. Get the download function fixed so that "Update All" actually works (either I get told "You are all up to date" or it hangs trying to download more than four things at one time) and we'll go back to the five stars I used to rate this app. :)
Why is the Android version so far behind the iOS version?
So far i have been using GP on my pixel 5. I have not had any crashes. The main thing i can think of on the phone is that it isnt so user friendly. The searching is funky and there is alot of tabs you need to choose to get where you want to be. Also i when i add a procedure like an ils or rnav, the waypoints is not added to the map. I hope that is different when i get my tablet. If Garmin can help me out on that will be great. My only other issue with GP is that itcan work on more adsb devices.
