AvareX Top Feature/Issue Requests

[Ian B]

What are the top feature/issue requests for AvareX? Is there a list somewhere to track for convenience to the contributing developers?

Thanks!

I don't know what other people are wanting, but an essential feature that isn't working for me is kml tracking.

This is the most valuable feature for me, since I use the start and stop times on the kml to get exact flight times for my logbook.

In my ideal world, the app would insert a row into a google spreadsheet with aircraft type, N number, timestamp, starting location, destination, and waypoints crossed, a column for notes, passengers and tach time, elapsed time, etc. 

Well, actually in a more ideal world, this would go into an sqlite, mariadb, or postgres database, but I imagine that wouldn't be as accessible to as large a number of pilots. 

In my totally awesome world, there would be a webapp that reads the database and allows modification, comments, PIC designation,  Tailwheel, CSP, Glider, Twin, or retractable characteristics...  but I don't really expect that.

I think X has improved a lot. The most important improvement to me has been the ability to increase the traffic being shown. I would really really appreciate if the traffic symbology could match the original Avare. The original presentation is better on size (smaller yet more visible), better on readability (white on black text on one line) and includes the speed vector.

With avarex you used to be able to click on the adsb traffic and see more information about the individual aircraft, but I can't seem to get that to work anymore. 

When elevation layer is turned on while flying it makes the app run very slow/freezes almost to the point of being unusable. Not sure if that can somehow be streamlined more to require less workload on devices. I was using an iplay 60 mini pro at the time. I really like the feature though!

I think the bomb is watching my bud's EFB sync his IFR navigator flight plan, and vice versa.

It's wifi to a Garmin suite IFR navigator.  Presents on his Dynon EFIS.

It's smooth workflow and better than anything at my airline, including loading flightplans via ACARS.

My #1 priority longstanding issue/feature request for AvareX is the track KML files that are exported out of AvareX empty.

See the long conversation thread: "AvareX Track Logs Are Empty"

• I reported this issue on Sep 12, 2024 with version 0.0.29 and have been wishfully testing each new release, hoping it's fixed.
• The "track_YYYY_Month_DD@HH_MM_SS.kml" file that gets exported is just a header chunk of framework of XML for the missing KML data.
• I wish I had the skills to contribute and get familiarized with Flutter code and dive in to try to understand what's all going on under the hood of:
  • storage.dart
  • map_screen.dart
  • gps_recorder.dart
• There was a code commit on 2025-12-31 by Zubair (https://github.com/apps4av/avarex/commit/d09e831) in an attempt to address the bug (no luck, but thank you!).
• I still am experiencing empty KML exports (DISCLAIMER I'VE ONLY TESTED v0.0.80 NOT v0.0.81 YET) even though the track display while flying around continues to work perfectly normally.
• If anyone is able to investigate this bug in AvareX and solve the problem elegantly/efficiently/acceptably and make their pull request, I hereby declare a (unofficial/informal) bug bounty of a Venmo payment equivalent to at least one case of mediocre beer (or a few gallons of Avgas) to both the solver AND Zubair at such time as new version of AvareX has been released and verified to be exporting valid, track-containing KML files 😁... you can hold me to it! 😎👍

Thanks,
