This is consistent with my experience, too.

When I was training as a pilot some years ago (Mid 2000s)we were advised to report changes in altitude for VFR flights, Since being on PE the controllers advised me otherwise,
There will be times when you just can't win and it won't be a perfect interaction.
Encouraging to hear that it's not just me having that experience. What is really good with Pilotedge is that I can push myself to try new things a little at a time without really jeopardizing anything and then discuss any mistakes I made here in the forum. I also kind of appreciate that different controllers here on Pilotedge handle things slightly differently. That better reflects the real world.
