FlyQ EFB version 4.0 has a code-name: Red Barn.
In case you’re not familiar with Boeing history, the Red Barn is the name of the first Boeing building. You can visit it at the Museum of Flight in Seattle.
The Red Barn changed how people thought of aviation. That’s why we though it an appropriate name for FlyQ EFB v 4.0.
V4 is most definitely NOT about adding a little feature or two…
Flying with Seattle Avionics 
Looking forward to seeing the changes…

Me too! It’s really slick and something totally beyond any aviation app. Writing the patent now!

I love flyq efb. More importantly I love the way your support team is so responsive. So, when do we see version 4.0?

Thanks Bob! Not sure of the date for v4. We’re working VERY hard on it and it will definitely be at least demonstrated and, most likely, be in beta by late November.

Am I the only one that is SO TIRED of your grand announcements??
Just because we CAN… is that really sufficient reason??
Yawn (I’m still trying to get quick and accurate down loads of IFR plates).
More whistles and bells for VFR pilots?? Maybe I’m with the wrong vendor.

We introduced some very grand things lately, Jon — Slingshot totally wireless data transfer to in-panel devices (mostly for IFR pilots), Augmented Reality (for both IFR and VFR pilots) and more. This is a huge release that we think everyone will love as it has several aspects that are unlike every other aviation app in existence — some will appeal to thousand-hours a year IFR pilots, some to weekend VFR flyers.
In terms of downloads … if you’re having a problem (which is NOT something we’re hearing), please be sure you have the current version (3.3.1) and then contact support@seattleavionics.com. Also, I have no idea what you mean by “accurate” as our data is DO-200A certified, unlike the data used in all other iPad/iPhone apps. If the question is about the dates on the side of the plates — please refer to the link below which explains why those dates are meaningless: https://myemail.constantcontact.com/Garmin—FlyQ-EFB–Augmented-Reality–iOS-10-3-2.html?soid=1102176322542&aid=UZ-6VEb4z4c

Flyq is a great product. There is nothing to complain about. This product is near if not perfect. Not sure what 4.0 can do that will vastly improve the product but the Flyq people seem very excited so I am too. One thing that would be a help is an automatic editable digital logbook.
Jon, I think you are the only one that is tired of announcements of improvements. With your attitude towards this product you shouldn’t boast about how much it’s dislike with and suggest the product isn’t for you. You should just go with another vendor.
Having purchased Flyq but not having flown yet with it by last Black Friday I didn’t realize how great Flyq was otherwise I’d taken advantage of that promotion. I dare you to offer that same promotion again! I’d be all over it.

Thank you for the kind words, Jim. I wish I could say more about what’s in V4 or what we’re planning for Black Friday …..
John — I can’t agree with Jim that you should go to another app 😉 I would mention that some of what’s planned for V4 will definitely appeal to high-time IFR pilots. Some will also appeal to VFR pilots, student pilots, CFIs, CAP pilots, and more. There are many aspects to what we’re adding. I might suggest that you sign up for the V4 announcement presentation on Nov 19 and take a look.
