Kwik EFIS - Current Release 3.10
Due to a common request and with some help from the XCSoar project, I have implemented a High Contrast themes for the Kwik EFIS suite.
It should improve the screen readability in direct sunlight on some Android devices. This release also has the fully terrain aware DMAP. YELLOW indicate less then 1000ft and RED less then 100ft. Use the simulator to play around with the application and get a feel for how this works.
Auto Zoom is also now also finally functional and is enabled with a horizontal swipe. Zooming IN and OUT (with a vertical swipe) disables auto zoom.
Data Pacs
The initial data pac for South America, Panama to Argentina, (data.pan.arg) has finally been released. It should be available on F-Droid in a few days. Check https://f-droid.org/wiki/page/player.efis.data.pan.arg
Work In Progress
Work is currently underway to port the Kwik EFIS to an E-Ink readers (Kobo etc). This is however still a ways off from public release. In the mean time, please do have a look at XCSoar. While it is intended mainly for our gliding brethren, it is nevertheless an awesome piece of work.

Kwik EFIS Release 21
There has been a fairly major update to the Kwik EFIS apps, now it provides full integration with Stratux ADS-B/AHRS. The Stratux device enables full ADS-B traffic and a pretty decent AHRS virtually for no money.
Here is a little write-up: http://ninelima.org/efis/stratux/.

Re: Android for Aviators
It has been a bit of a slog, but the latest Kwik suite of EFIS Android apps has completed FOSS certification.
Certified and Signed copies are now available on FDroid.
Version 6.0 is a major release which brings a few new goodies:
* Implement OpenWeatherMap precipitation overlay on maps
* Improved ADS-B traffic display
* Generic aircraft instead of individual
* Performance enhancements
The best way is to use the FDroid app https://f-droid.org/en/
or otherwise download from the usual sources:
