I have, but only the smart phone version.
It's a lot more limited than the iPad version :(

Android version doesn't have a slip ball, many of the instruments like altimeter, EFIS or 3D like this :( :

Also doesn't seem to save the track you flew on the Android version, or support live tracking, weather station list, or have a flight logbook as in the iPad version :(
It's good for planning and GPS moving map flying though. I think they just focussed on iPads rather than Samsung tablets and Android phones.
On the up side, the Android version is much cheaper vhpy

Would the screen be big enough on a Samsung galaxy note 2?
Screen size is around 5"

They do seem to offer live tracking..... but that's about it, no bells or even half a whistle.

Oh wait .... there does seem to be an altimeter and ground speed indicator.
For the money, it it probably worth a try.

I have it on my I phone 5, but still have to buy the local area maps. Pretty pricy!

I have Air Nav Pro on a Lenovo Tab. No problems with it. Have the 1:500 000 Airmap installed.
