These seem to be very similar - what are the pros and cons / do you get the same capabilities.

The one peeve I have with pilotaware is repeated traffic alerts for the same aircraft.
When flying near another aircraft where there’s some signal obscuration the EC bounces in and out, pilotaware gives repeated warnings which can get quite frustrating to get repeated audio alerts, e.g. Warning 3km, 20 seconds later, another 3km warning, then another, then another, etc.
I appreciate that PAW needs to pass on traffic warnings, but what I am asking for is some simple “intelligence” as to whether that warning has already been delivered. E.g. configurable setting to not alert if the traffic has been reported in the last X seconds. Exception to this would be for bearingless targets that increase in severity e.g. notice->warning->alert, but repeated warnings of the same plane where the signal drops in and out, or where the bearingless target moves away would be suppressed. Similarly where a bearingless swaps to a GPS-located e.g. through triangulation and then back to a bearingless as the triangulation is lost, these would only alert the first time (or every X seconds).

please please please can we have either a mobile native app (ios and android) or have a mobile optimised version of the admin pages? specific things that would be useful:
1) quick way of muting and unmuting audio
2) more user friendly radar page
i find the current pages difficult to use on an ipad never mind a smaller screen!
