Flight Plan Maker (FPL Maker)v2.5.1

Released August 1, 2026Major

Android

The latest major update introduced offline maps and premium aviation data, but current metrics remain inconclusive. A post-update rating drop from 3.4 to 2.5 on Android lacks statistical significance due to a sample size of only two reviews. The overall impact is neutral until further data accumulates.

The current release lacks sufficient user feedback to validate the utility of the new offline maps functionality.

Marlvel takeaways

Monitor the Android rating trend closely as the post-update sample size of two reviews is insufficient to determine if the 0.9 point drop represents a genuine regression.
Prioritize gathering qualitative feedback on the new offline maps feature to confirm if the current performance issues are related to the update or external factors.
