Avare Progress

When I started developing Avare, I was not sure where it will take me.

But after about two months on Google Play store, it has added about seven hundred users a month, and the trend is up. Aviation is a small market with a lot of established companies so I do not expect a viral uptrend.

There were some frustrating moments when a bug slipped in, but users were extremely helpful in diagnosis.

Mostly it has been a better than expected experience with new and more interesting things happening every day.

I am learning more about business than I would learn  in  a classroom.

The emails, and positive reviews of appreciation I get is the most important thing in these last couple of months.

I have made dozens of pilot friends around the world. One of them a flight instructor, offering to give me free instruction if I could visit his setup in Georgia (State).

More importantly, I know my friend John more now. John has helped in testing, documentation and general road map.

Avare will never make money (we will keep it free). But you got to look beyond nickels and dimes.

Avare has 4.6/5 rating on play store. The app appears third in search "aviation gps".  Moved up from fiftieth place. The nearest competitor has 3.0/5 rating.
