Hilton Software Releases WingX Pro7 for Android

Version 1 of Hilton Software’s new Android flying app is now live in the Google Play store. The app brings many of the features of the iOS version of WingX Pro7 to the Android platform, and the company plans to add more functionality on a “frequent update cycle.” Subscribers to WingX Pro7 on iOS can use the Android version for no extra cost and vice versa.

Features on the Android version include GPS-enabled moving-map with VFR and IFR (low and high) charts; Airport/Facility Directory; user-defined en route transparency; split-screen capability to show, for example, a map and a chart side-by-side; weather information; flight planning; a flight log recorder; and integration with Lockheed Martin’s flight services. WingX Pro7 for Android also includes E6B functions such as calculators for true airspeed, conversions, distance-speed-time, pressure/density altitude, winds aloft, runway winds, IFR climb and descent rate.

The Android pricing is the same as the iOS version: $74.95 per year and an extra $74.99 for Advanced IFR (includes own-ship position display on approach charts). A 30-day free trial is available, and qualified flight instructors can receive a free subscription.
