Hi guys,
Let's convince ForeFlight to add support for more ADS-B receivers. The ADS-B market is exploding when innovation in performance, capability, and cost. However, ForeFlight has tethered themselves exclusively to the Stratus (expensive, and at the low end of the features and reliability totem pole).
Please let the ForeFlight team know that you too, would like to see support for other ADS-B receivers like the Sagetech Clarity, Dual, and Skyradar units!

Dear ForeFlight team,
You guys have by far the best in-cockpit app in the business. Your ease of use, polish, and attention to detail make Wing-X look silly by comparison.
Unfortunately, I've been recently forced to give up on ForeFlight and switch to Wing-X because of Foreflight's very limited ADS-B receiver support. The Stratus receiver is simply not up to par in comparison to the other units on the market. It's expensive, bulky, and has a tendency to shut down in-flight due to it's very limited operating temperature range. The Stratus maximum operating temperature is 95F, and sadly no GA glare shield I've experienced regularly stays below 95F. Sagetech, Garmin, and even SkyRadar are making ADS-B receivers that outdo the Stratus in RF performance, form factor, and cost.
In short, Sagetech is to Stratus as ForeFlight is to Wing-X. Please save me from Wing-X. It really, really hurts.
