Key takeaways for InFlight - Flight Map
Where is it heading?

- The maintenance-only update cadence suggests a stable but non-growing feature set, which limits the app's ability to respond to market shifts.
The SWOT
- One-time purchase model reduces long-term cost friction
- Capture price-sensitive users avoiding subscription-based aviation tools
