This may be an obvious statement, but iFly cannot listen to both at the same time.  These devices effectively set themselves up as an access point (hostapd) and most tablets / phones only have a single wifi chip so they can only connect to one network at a time.

I'm  not sure if these devices (or iFly for that matter) supports bluetooth, but in theory you could connect one to one via wifi and another via bluetooth.

If I am reading responses correctly to my ask about AHRS for IFLY...

I understand that a Stratus unit will work with the Synthetic Vision screen on IFLY so I would have a stable presentation? 

So IFLY will "listen" to the WiFi from both my ADSB and the Stratus?

What do you mean "both my ADSB and the Stratus"?  Stratus *is* ADSB-in.  What else do you need/want to listen to?

I have the Stratus 3 and it has both ADS-B (traffic, weather, etc.) and AHRS, so you will only need to connect to the Stratus.  You do, however, need to find a way to turn the Open ADSB switch to on.  That can be accomplished via the Appareo Horizon app, which IIRC, only exists at this time for iOS.  I do seem to remember reading somewhere there's an app available for non iOS to accomplish this task.  Flight plan Go possibly?

Yes, mentioned multiple times in this thread, but that was suggested by Appareo.  So far no one here has piped up to confirm that approach worked for them.

I'm not able to get it to work in FltPlan Go either. There's a button for it, but it seems to have no effect.
