+
+- Starred [ADS-B Exchange](https://fmhy.net/miscguide#flights) in Flights section, one of the only that doesn't lock features behind paywalls.
+
+- Replaced star for xManager with [ReVanced Manager](https://fmhy.net/android-iosguide#android-audio) in Ad-Free Spotify as it has more features, less issues, and xManager itself recommends it.
+
