Today a Cherokee Pilot stopped to thank me for showing him that he could get vocal traffic from the Foreflight app he has been subscriberd to. 

He just bought the cable that goes from his tablet to his BOSE input jack.

He was extatic!

He said he had just pulled out of the thangar and was warming up when he got a vocal warning of an aircraft was on final.

It felt good that I could help and told him I have been waiting for over a year for the same function with IFLY.

Does Foreflight actually say, "Traffic on final for [runway XX]"?  That would be pretty good! Or does it just say something like, "Traffic, four o'clock, high" or maybe "Traffic, two seven zero, two miles, eight hundred feet above"?

No. Not that explicit. Just told of approaching aircraft with bearing, altitude, etc.

WOW! Not until OSH?

This is really not rocket surgery.

MY patience has wained. Will buy an Apple tablet tomorrow ($$$) and subscribe to ForeFlight. It is worth and extra $20 to me fpr the vocal warnings.

Maybe more difficult than you assume, especially targeting four host OSs. And people's lives depending on it. I would rather have it right than soon.
