We've made some improvements to the process for adding new pads in the app. We realised that if we want our community to contribute to Helipaddy, we need to make it as easy as possible to do so! In this version you'll see:

- Offline pad additions are now supported
Other fixes:
- 'My Pads' quick filter now works as intended
- Thumbnail images should be shown for all pads with photos
- Improved bluetooth keyboard support for iPad
- Work on consistency of UI elements i.e. buttons on iPad

- Issues with filters hiding/showing are now fixed

2022-03-03
This release is mainly focussed on getting as many new Pilots as possible into the community, by improving the 'onboarding' experience. We've removed a few steps and simplified others in an effort to remove friction from new sign ups!
If you already use Helipaddy, there are a few other little changes and fixes:
- Added a filter for 'My Pads' which shows your favourited and submitted pads
- Added a filter for 'My Reviewed' which shows all pads that you've rated and/or reviewed
- Fixed a situation where duplicated pads lose their submitters
- Fixed a bug where the app badge showed more notifications that you have in the app
- Implemented a solution for when the keyboard covers text fields
5.4.1
2022-01-31
Cold, yes. Sunny, also yes. As we're (gradually) getting closer to more consistent flying weather, this build brings a wealth of smaller changes. You may not notice most of them, but we hope they'll either put a smile on your faces, or make your life just a few percent better, possibly unbeknownst to you.
Adjustments
- Notification centre now shows the pad image if we have it
- You may now leave ratings and reviews to your Private Pads
- Private Pads can now be added by tapping and holding the screen
- Aerodromes are now included within the default filter selection
- Reworded the ‘+ New Pad’ button
- Small adjustments to wording throughout the app
Improvements
- Improved zoom levels when searching for a Town, City or Post Code
- Improvements to the Pad View interface
- Improved our Google Places API integration, which should have removed all of the irrelevant pad photo suggestions
- Improvements to card view on iPad, showing the selected pad more clearly
- Aggressively seeking new pads in the US, currently focusing on CA, TX and FL
Bugs
- Bug fixed when attaching an image via our Support chat
- Fixed a bug where the Helipaddy app badge was showing more notifications than a user had

2022-01-10
Happy New Year to all! We're bringing you a smaller release just to get the year moving, but believe we've got a lot going on in the background to bring a bunch of new features to you guys and gals this year!
Fly Here
- We've improved our 'Fly Here' button which allows you to send a Pad/Waypoint directly to your navigation app.
- The 'Fly Here' button that you'll see on any Pad View now shows your choice of navigation app (picked from Settings).
Announcements
- We've released a lot of new features, many of which it seems are not fully understood, so we've put together Announcements. Designed to explain new features and keep you up-to-date within the app, we hope this will guide you into making the most of Helipaddy!
Search
- We've removed some annoying messaging and limitations within Search for our free users.
5.2
2021-09-01
Hi all! This is a fairly small release, but we do have one new feature that we're super excited about...
- You can now share any location from Google Maps into Helipaddy - very cool! It's now easier than ever to share locations from, and into, Helipaddy!
- We've made some improvements to our Google Places integration which suggests appropriate images for new pads, in the quest to have as much strong content at pads for you as possible.
- There've been a few small adjustments to all Pads under the category of APOI
3.6.6
2020-12-22
We've heard that some users have had some problems with iOS 14, so we've fixed a few compatibility issues around logging in and registering!
3.6.5
2020-08-06
Bug fixes and performance improvements
3.6.4
2020-06-10
In this build, we’ve massively improved the process for adding new pads so that you, our community, can quickly and easily contribute and share your knowledge with other pilots! Our vision is for Helipaddy to span the globe, but we’ll need your help to achieve that!
- You’ll see a new + button at the bottom of the map, which, you guessed it, adds a new pad! We've vastly improved the process, and removed a few of steps, too.
- If you’re up in the air, we don’t recommend typing too much detail, so hitting the back button will save the pin for you to update later - you’ll find it in the ‘pad queue’ in the main menu.
- You can now quickly update the visibility of any of the pads you’ve added, toggling between private/friends/public.
Also:
- You'll notice that the satellite view on the map is fully labeled, making it easier to identify where you are, and where you’ll be going! Finally…
We bet you’re excited to get back into your machines. Have fun, all!

2020-04-03
Just a few stability updates for the new version, and some new, beautiful and up-to-date screenshots!
3.6.2
2020-03-20
Our Q1 update has been based around improving current features.
Events
- Arguably not the best timing, but we've fixed a bug which wouldn't allow you to add events directly to your calendar.
Landings
- PPR requests will now be referred to as Landing Requests, or LRs, because there is never enough acronyms.
- The LR form, which is visible to our Premium Pilots only ;) has a few tweaks - we want to save you time here. Our testing shows that it's 20% faster than before!
- As a part of the previous point, you can now set your main helicopter's information in your account settings, so you don't have to enter this each time you request a landing!
Stay mobile everybody, but please stay healthy first!
