But this app is held back by its appalling user experience.
Have a favourite user made preset? Won't load as default. You have to load it manually every time. Not one of the top 5? Well too bad, you can't save it. You need to look it up every single time.
There's not even any sort of user rating system - so you can't tell if the preset you're using is any good or not, its all completely trial and error.
The app doesn't even autostart with MSFS, you have to start it up yourself, load (and possibly find) whatever preset you like (or make your own, which is tedious). And there's also no minimize to system tray like most other apps of this type, so it'll always take up a space, cluttering up your taskbar.
I honestly can't see how this was built and tested and deemed to be a satisfactory user experience, because its honestly more bothersome than its worth in its current state.
If they spend some time adding in some QoL changes, like default presets, auto-launch with MSFS and such, this could be a 4, maybe even 5 star. But honestly, until they have - hold on to your money.
