Excellent overlay and other features.
I am having problems with the flight phase entering CRUISE, can you confirm this or is there a setting somehere I can get it to trigger

Are you having issues with the streaming overlay "phase" indication or the Cabin announcements? For the latter you can change some settings in the Tweaks tab such as the vertical speed rates to determine when the app will consider cruise has been achieved.
Although I will consider adding a better approach for the next update.
