I can confirm that iFly version 10.3, which is still in testing for another few days, will support the Stratus 3.

How's the testing going? I'm anxious to try out me Stratus 3 with My 520, bought it just for that!

I finally got my Stratus 3i in my plane and working, although only on the ground.  iFly was showing that it was getting all the required information from the Stratus 3i.  That is, when you open the ADS-B status box on the iFly, all the boxes are checked.  One thing you should know is that the 3i, and possibly the 3, is not set to broadcast information to the other devices automatically.  You will have to:

Download and install the Stratus Horizon Pro app on an iPad/iPhone and turn the "Open ADSB" switch to the On position while it's connected to your 3i.  

Or

Download and install the FltPlanGo App and connect that to your 3i.  This on apparently turns on the Stratus Open ADSB automatically, and will then allow iFly to gather the information.

There may be other ways, or apps that can accomplish this, but these are the only two that Stratus/Appareo told me about.

 

iFly will connect to the Stratus 3i WiFi without the Open ADSB switch turned on, but iFly will not be able to get any information from the Stratus 3i.

Finally got in the air with my Stratus ESGi, Stratus 3i, iFly740, and iPad with iFly.  Everything worked as I expected.  That is, I saw all the traffic (I guess, I guess you don't know what you don't see), saw the weather (METAR's, TAF's, NexRad, etc.).  The only probelm I had, is on our return flight, the iPad that my passenger was watching, for some reason, connected to Stratux in iFly, when I checked the iPad WiFi network, it was connected to Stratus.  I went back to the iFly program, reset the "Connected Device" to Auto Detect, and refreshed the connection.  It then found and connected to Stratus 3, and worked fine from then on.  On the outbound flight it connected to Stratus 3 automatically and with no problems.  So who knows...
