Ask AC-U-KWIK: Can I Continue Using the AC-U-KWIK App without Updating it?

Question: Last week, I launched my AC-U-KWIK iPad app and received a message that a data update was available. It asked if I wanted to proceed with the update. I was pressed for time, and my Wi-Fi connection was fairly sketchy, so I tapped “No” and closed the app. Could I have still used the app without going through the updating process?

Answer: Yes. The app would have still retained its complete functionality even though you did not proceed with the data update. This also applies to the airport diagram update that was provided to our users on the following day. The update only contains changes that have been made since the last update cycle; it only amounts to a fraction of the overall airport and FBO data set that resides on the app.

The update process is quick and painless, provided you have a strong Wi-Fi connection. It should only take a few minutes at most.
