Navigraph has released a new beta version of its Charts app on mobile devices. This news will be welcomed by the flight sim community who have eagerly awaited the announcement. Navigraph, a leading provider of flight sim navigation services, has made the beta version available to users of iOS and Android operating systems. To join the beta program, iOS users should click on the link to join the TestFlight beta program. The Charts app will then be installed via the TestFlight app. Android users can find the APK and other information surrounding the beta on the Navigraph website.
The latest release follows Navigraph’s recent Instagram post teasing a new interface for the Simbrief Dispatcher. Simbrief users will be pleased to know that the new interface will allow the tool to be used on any screen size, making it much more accessible on mobile devices. Navigraph acquired Simbrief in 2021 and has since added more features to the platform. The two platforms are now more closely integrated, with Simbrief being incorporated into Navigraph’s Charts app.
To test the beta versions of the Charts app and App Clips using TestFlight, users must accept an email or public link invitation from the developer and have a device that they can use to test. iOS or iPadOS apps require an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch running iOS 13 or iPadOS 13 or later and access the beta app from here. Links to the Android-based APK can be found here, other information about the beta can be found on the Navigraph website..
Each build is available to test for up to 90 days, starting from the day the developer uploads their build. Users can see how many days they have left for testing under the app name in TestFlight. TestFlight notifies users each time a new build is available and includes instructions on what needs to be tested. With TestFlight 3 or later, users can turn on automatic updates to have the latest beta builds install automatically.
In summary, Navigraph’s latest beta version of the Charts app on mobile devices has come as a great relief to the flight sim community. The company’s continued integration and collaboration with Simbrief have resulted in new features that enhance the user experience, making it much more accessible and convenient. To join the beta program, users should follow the instructions on the Navigraph website, depending on their device’s operating system.
