My wife, who is not a pilot, and knows relatively little about piloting or gadgets, bought it for me.  Pre-production I think, sight unseen.  Probably from some e-mail advertising.  She gave me a certificate for it to me at Christmas.  I had to wait a while before they shipped it.  She's a shopping savant and seems to know what and when to buy for everyone.

Someone mentioned IFly on the Cessna Pilot Association in 2008 so I got a 700, finally a 740 and 740b. It gets better every year.

I first came across it in the days when you competed with the early Garmin handhelds. I already had a 396 so it was just a piece of information I tucked away. It was years later when I was trying out Android backups for Foreflight (I've been using FF for over 9 years). Searching, I came across iFly, recognized the name, knew it had been in business for a long time and  saw it was multi-platform. So I tried it and then subscribed.

Random thoughts: I think your true multi-platform capability is a big selling point. You have a lot of formidable competition in the Apple market but are pretty much the best thing out there in Android,  Your challenge there is Garmin, mostly because of Garmin avionics common interface, flow, and third-party communication preferences.

I quit facebook several months ago and my life is better.  I heard about the iFly by doing an internet search for an android version and tried it and liked it.  then I added the 740 to the cockpit and I'm happy.
