  • Works, if the function button would stop disappearing.

    On both iPads, the function button in top left is just missing. It’s there on my google phone version, but not on the iOS version. Needs to be fixed, unusable as is.
  • Great app but why no hour/minute calculator

    Great app but why no hour/minute calculator
  • Excellent! Just need complication for Apple Watch face

    I use this app a lot and absolutely love that it is even useable on the Apple Watch! I just hope that eventually the developers will make it so that I will be able to add it as a complication on my “flying” watch face so that I can pop right into it quickly.
  • Excellent app, could with better Watch support

    A wealth of functions make this a very useful app.
    I think that the interface is best on the iPad, but it works well on the iPhone too.
    The Apple Watch app works as well as the iPhone version once accessed, but it would be so good to see support for complications so that the app could be accessed directly from the watch face.

  • Apple Watch display needs improvement

    I had hoped to use the Apple Watch app, but the display only shows the top half of the numbers. Perhaps this is because I have the original Apple Watch? I also find the process of entering numbers to be cumbersome. If I click on an item to change the value, I first have to backspace out the current value before entering the new value. I’d prefer that it just let me start typing the number right away instead of going through those extra steps.

    But I’m happy that this app is available. I haven’t used it much yet, but I’m sure it will be useful.

  • Best 10 bucks I have ever spent

    I have the Sporty’s E6B calculator and the old fashion wiz wheel, this by far is so less complicated and a must for all pilots. Built in calculator as well since the iPad doesn’t have one. A pity you can’t use it for your exam but it made it easy for my check ride.
  • Watch features very disappointing

    I love the features available on the iphone version and assumed that I would be able to use the same ones on the watch. Only the conversion are available on the watch which is pretty useless. If they decide to add the other features to the watch then that app would get a 5 star rating easily!

    Developer Response

    All functions have been added to the Apple Watch in version 2.4.1!
  • Important Conversion Functions Missing

    Cannot believe that this app won't allow you to convert between JetA1 litres, pounds and kg! Similarly with Avgas conversions and many other conversion types.

    Incredibly, you can do all of this and much more using a basic calculator app such as PowerOneSE! In fact, PowerOneSE (& I suspect many other calculators) does a better job than Sporty's E6B in almost every calculation.

  • Good phone app but watch app is useless

    I love the iPhone app and use it as my primary e6b. Yesterday I got the Apple Watch and was excited to be able to use functions there instead of having to break out the phone. NOPE. The only thing the watch app does is conversions.

    When I'm flying, I don't need to convert avgas gallons to pounds, I need to be able to calculate heading, distance, and fuel burn to my divert location! Soooo disappointed that the Functions were left out of the watch app.

  • Good app for iPhone, not so much for Apple Watch

    Lots of functions for the iPhone but crashes whenever I start the app on the Apple Watch.
