    Version 2 is even better
    Pros

    No more XM!
    Weather, TFR's all in Foreflight
    Traffic
    Extremely accurate GPS
    Small
    Great Battery life
    AHRS (but see below)

    Cons

    I noticed that it's operational temperature is only specified to 35C, which is too low for something that may sit in full sunlight.
    I wish AHRS was integrated into Foreflight

    General Comments

    I sold my Garmin 396 to fund this purchase and so far have been very happy. ADS-B coverage in the PNW has been generally very good and traffic coverage has also been as expected. The small size of the unit mean you can find space for it pretty much anywhere. Adios to $50 per month for XM!

    Pros

    Great Value for the money. Works as described if your aircraft has ADS-B out installed.

    Cons

    Most aircraft rentals don't have the ADS-B out installed therefore the only traffic you will see on your iPad are larger or newer air crafts. This item would be great value after 2020 when it's mandatory for all aircrafts to have ADS-B out installed.

    A Well Designed and Built ADS-B Receiver
    Pros

    Compact unit with flexible mounting possibilites.
    External antenna and power options.
    Solid reception of WAAS GPS and ADS-B signals.
    Very good integration with Foreflight.

    Cons

    None

    General Comments

    The Stratus 2 is an outstanding piece of equipment.
    I have it mounted on the glareshield with no external antennas, and it typically maintains lock on 4 to 7 ground stations.
    The Stratus maintains ADS-B reception down to about 50 ft AGL in my area. The GPS accuracy is typically displayed as '< 1m' in Foreflight.

    I have seen reliable operation while flying through precipitation, and the display of radar data is entirely adequate for weather avoidance.

    I ordered the unit in conjuction with upgrading my transponder for ADS-B Out. I've been displaying TIS-A traffic on a 430W while showing ADS-B traffic on the iPad. What a difference! Flying with the Stratus 2 is a giant step forward. I now have a much better display of the traffic situation, and free weather on the same display!

    Overall very good!
    Pros

    Works as advertised. Very nice to not have to pay over fifty bucks a month. Was worried not having cloud cover would be a major disappointment but so far I can live without it.

    Cons

    Still very pricey for what you are getting. Would be better if not so big. Traffic shows just a fraction of what is out there.

    Pros

    I used it for the first time using my iPhone V in a 1938 Stearman. The weather was marginal but this gave us all the information we needed to stay on top of the weather. Getting traffic was a real bonus. I have since used it with my iPad mini in my Cessna 195. Excellent!

    It is so easy to use with ForeFlight that you don't need a manual. Excellent product.

    Excellent tool for situation awareness!
    Pros

    Solid performer for both traffic and weather. White case is much cooler than previous model. AHRS and the 1090 frequency in addition to 978UAT are nice additions to help complete the package.

    Cons

    None yet!

    General Comments

    After owning Stratus 1 for about a year, My partner and I decided to upgrade to the Stratus 2 to have a cooler running unit, and the addition of the 1090 frequency. As our aircraft has an ADS-B OUT transponder, we are now seeing an excellent view of weather and traffic with ForeFlight on our iPads.

    The AHRS app on the iPhone is a great added feature too!

    Faulty wall charger. Has refused to calibrate regularly
    Pros

    Have only begun using it. Durability unknown but form factor and ease of use are quite good.

    Cons

    Wall charger needed to be replaced. Unit so far has not calibrated consistently with Horizon app. Two delays in delivering unit as promised. So far not a hardware product that matches the reliability of the Foreflight software.

    Very well engineered product. The first flight with it gave me a perfect view of severe wether that made course selection a breeze.
