  • Can not login

    App login doesn’t work... what a shame
  • More info needed

    The app is very friendly and accurate specially using an Athena. It would be much better if the map had an option to display more names of the small towns or cities where you are flying. Maybe it does it but I have not found how. I was advised to use google maps at the same time. Any other advise? Thanks

  • Lousy, Expensive & Unreliable

    This product is out classed by so many others. It’s fine on the ground but in the air it’s worthless.
  • Good app.

    I just wanted to bring up an issue I am having while viewing winds aloft forecasts. When I slide the time blocks at the bottom over to a future block to view info, the screen will revert to the default current time block. The screen flickers slightly when it happens. If I am copying wind speeds and directions and dont catch the change I’ll be viewing the wrong info and have to slide back to the time block I was viewing. It seems to do it after about 10-15 seconds of viewing a time block. Otherwise, 5 stars.

    Maybe something can be fixed in a future update.

  • Not great for VFR planning

    I have used runwayHD and SkyDemon and for VFR flying and planning they are far superior, versatile and easy to use than the Garmin App. The simple process of importing and exporting a route between any other app (which is possible on all other apps) is not possible with the Garmin Pilot App. From a user experience point of view the interface is poor. I am disappointed as I have recently installed Garmin equipment in my helicopter and was hoping for an easier integration. They have a closed system approach. One can only hope for improvements ...

  • Polished!

    Looks much better than it did last year. I think I’ll be buying a subscription this time. Nice to see it so polished.
  • Garmin Pilot is great

    I have used it for at least 6 years. Great app. Constantly improving it. Has always had better map readability than ForeFlight, and even with FF’s improved vector based maps Garmin Pilot still is superior. Too numerous to count features. ADS-B weather and traffic works great. I like that they generally add features without adding multiple pricing levels. The only weak area in my opinion is the weather briefing which still just gives an DAA standard briefing, and is the sole reason I keep my ForeFlight subscription. I suspect ForeFlight will improve the preflight weather brief in the future. It even works with my flight simulator that I use to practice instrument approaches.

  • Winds Aloft causing Crash

    On my updated iOS device the app crashes every time I select Winds Aloft from the Airport Info wheel after tapping an airport from the Map view. Other than that, good update.
  • Doesn’t work on older iPads

    I have had this app for a few years now and it worked fine until apple went to iso10 now the app won’t work on anything less that a 10 running machine. Called them up and they blame my “old” equipment The techs are really worthless and know nothing about bug fixes so needless to say you pay them $75 for a worthless app. Very disappointed that a company this big can’t get their s..t.

  • Best EFB

    I tried trial versions of FF and Garmin Pilot and I preferred this one over the other. The dynamic map looks great and the features are easy to use with lots of functionality. If you’ve use any garmin products that this’ll be familiar. Winner winner chicken dinner.
