Can’t unsubscribe

I can’t find anywhere to unsubscribe. There are no settings in the app. How do I unsubscribe?

Worthless

Worst aviation app I have ever seen. A pilot would be far better off to have the paper bound copy of the airport facility directory. I get charged for a recurring subscription every month and cannot find a way to cancel it. Completely worthless.

Response from developer

To cancel any app's subscription, go to your iOS device's Settings->iCloud->Tap on Account->Subscriptions->

“Minimalist” — and that's a good thing

In a field of “one stop shopping” apps, every so often an app with a targeted mission shows up — and this is one of those apps. This app affords users quick access to airfield data, and displays it in a clear, known and familiar format.

Of course, accessing web data and downloading the .pdf files accomplishes pretty-much the same thing, but you could say that about most other apps as well — like weather and charts.

My only suggestion would be to allow the user to “sort” the entries in the favorites tab.

... and for those of us in the “pro” end of this business, twelve bucks a year isn't asking too much.

Not free

Misleading. They want &0.99/month. Information looks good but I decided not to continue it. This should be free to pilots anyway.

Response from developer

Hi, the subscription cost is only for the airport diagrams which is listed in the app description. This small fee allows me to continue adding features, fixing bugs, keeping the airport files up to date, and to keep the rest of the app files and functionality free for everyone. Hope this helps. -Victor

Nice app; excellent support

I really like this app. I was paying a subscription fee for a different A/FD app, but I found its interface klutzy. This one is much better. I have had problems twice, and both times have gotten very prompt responses and resolutions. Absolutely top notch support! One suggestion is to have the front and back page information included.

Nice features

Very simple and easy to use airport directory. No extra BS.

Please fix

Doesn't work at all.

Response from developer

Hi, I'm not sure what issue you had previously, but the app should be working fine.

Works great! Recommended for pilots!

I'm just surprised why it's not as popular since it is the whole AFD in an app, what more could you want?

Nice!

Very clean and easy to use A/F app.
I tried out FJS (a VOR in North CA) and could only find it via the name of the nearby airport with that name (Fort Jones) - please fix that.
Other than that, this app is a keeper. Thanks!

Stopped working

Stopped working with the Feb update.
