A must for aviators particularly instructors.

As a professional, airline pilot and PCA, I find this tool invaluable. It is so easy to search to find resources that you know are there, but not quite sure where. The extra tools such as copying and highlighting are really nice.

Thank you for the kind review! We have already implemented some improvements and have submitted another version to Apple for review.

Excellent Customer Support

I have been using the app for a couple of years , I had some problems trying to renew the service but the customer support is excellent and quick . I hace found cheaper apps with the same service but o don’t change because their customers service. Keep going I love the app for quick reference everywhere I go.

Bad for students - poor organization

Pretty poor app structure. App is great, but a lot of issues.

App will crash if you highlight over a highlight cell, AND adding a note feature.

Also we all know how many regs we have to know as pilots, so I was excited to transition over from “tabbing” my saved regulations, to creating bookmarks, but the bookmarking feature is absolutely horrible.

Sounds like it’s a great app once you’re in the airlines and don’t need to stay drilled into the regs, but poor if you’re going for a check ride or teaching your students something.

The app support is there, like we can message them “whenever we need” but I haven’t received any beneficial help yet.

I subscribed for one year but I probably won’t continue unless this bookmarking & highlighting bugs are fixed.

Hi AnotherJosher! Thanks for your feedback. Could you send me an email at support@lawstack.com? I'm one of the engineers and I just want to clarify some issues that you mentioned about the bookmarks.

Locked out after a few days

I just bought this and then a few days later it locks out and pops up asking for a subscription. Can’t use it at all. Waste of money and time.

Hi Pilot34567788, so sorry about this. Are you using a new device? It could be your login. We want to fix this issue. Could you send us an email to support@lawstack.com?

Great program

This is well worth the price and the ease of using the program is fantastic. I fly commercial often. When asked about an aviation subject I have it all on my iPad and don’t even need internet. I seem to always find what I am looking for.
And I am 100% confident I have the most current guidance…..

The Best

Up to date and provides the FAR/AIM/Glossary that are up to date and easy to identify and reference by heading!

Greedy.

Subscription price is insanely high for a digital version, the app auto-enrolls you in auto-pay subscriptions yet you cannot cancel the subscription on the app. The bookmark feature is hardly functional. Much of the language and verbiage does not match up with the FAA approved texts. I’ll definitely be switching to an alternate, better, more reasonable, and more practical app for the FAR/AIM.

Hi Steamgage, thanks for writing in. The auto-renewal feature is optional and you can cancel it anytime. Would you mind sending me an email to support@lawstack.com. I'm one of the developers and would love to rectify your issue.

Wonderful Support

Great support with issue I had connecting. Very happy with the level of response .

CFII review

Due to the fact that the literature in this app does not completely match the hard copy FAR/AIM we are all familiar with, leads me to the conclusion that this material is inaccurate and can not be reliable. I have been unable to find information pertaining to regulations specific to rotorcraft.

Good functionality content is a miss

The app functions well. Highlights, shareable snippets of information work great. Devs are responsive and will ensure information is up to date. I trust this service to provide me with up to date regs. Good app, good service with a fair price.

Hi Adstrav, thanks for bringing this to our attention. We are currently working on it. Will email you soon once its fixed.
