Glitches
Current version is having graphics issues.Z453
Weight & Balance needs some work
Nice app with some room for improvement. Landing CG calculation is is wrong. It seems that moment for the burned fuel is not subtracted from the takeoff moment, so the calculated landing CG is way off. Also, entering the arm for the burned fuel seems redundant. Ability to enter CG/Weight safe operating corners into the aircraft profiles would have been a neat feature. currently the app only tells you if the weight limit is exceeded, but not the CG limit.Show lessPA28161
Weight and Balance calculator
One of the other reviews stated that you can't add additional rows/arms in the weight and balance calculator -- that is not correct. Just under the the Baggage 2 row is a large 'Add New Station button', which allows you to add as many rows or additional locations as you'd like. The Edit button at the top right of the screen then allows you to change the description of the location to whatever you'd like.Show lessBickleFlight
Great for quick calcs for shifting winds!
Just downloaded that last night. Student pilot who's doing his xc's. really came in great during the flight planning AND in the plane during the approaches. I needed to recalculate the crosswinds quickly (was on downwind) since the winds were shifting and I have 7 Kt x-wind limit. Entered a few numbers and was able to request another runway just in time :-).
I haven't had a change to explore all if the other functions, but so far, I'd recommend it!Show lessIlsrwy27r
Nothing changed
Still very laggy , calculator touch button not responsive enought, TOO BASIC for that price !!!! Def. NOT worth the 10$ . Avoid itCallmemr1234
Count down timer is poorly implemented
The setting of the initial value on the countdown timer has some problems… the picker doesn't respond to scrolling properly. Also, when you reset the countdown timer, instead of resetting to the initial value (as for timing an approach), it uselessly resets to zero.
The keypad seems slow to respond to taps, unlike the built-in Apple keypad. There is no audible feedback.Show lessLEK2
Nice App
Nice App. Only things I would like to see would be an "enter" and "Conv" button on the keypad like on the electronic E6B. Weight and balance entry needs reworked. Is a hassle to enter the way it is set up now. Would also be nice to have a conversion button and pop up window to convert any window or result without having to re-enter in the conversion side of the app. Would also like to have the same screen view in landscape or portrait.Show lessFlying W
Very Easy to Use
It has every thing you need for planing your trip,easy to use works well! I like it better than iwizwheel !!LozziH
Overall Great
I bought another less expensive E6B application after reading some of the reviews here, and there. As a student pilot I'm using the electronic E6B only to double check my work on the mechanical version. After downloading the other application and cross checking my work I found that the cheaper E6B application was getting stuff wrong (or I was always wrong)! In an effort to triple check, I spent the money on the Sporty's application. Boy was I relieved when all my mechanical calculations matched up exactly with the Sporty's application.
The only reason I knocked off the last star, and gave it a 4 rating, is the constant Sporty's banner on top. I know where I got it, I'll tell other pilots about it, please get rid of that banner and make everything else a little bigger. If you need to keep reminding me its a Sporty's application flash it on start up or something.
As somebody who incorrectly went cheaper the first time, I've learned from my mistake and you can too... Get this application first.Show lessARFF Pilot
Good job
This is a very good app, easy to use and very helpful. $10 is a bit to much though also please add a Knots to MPH conversion because when my passengers ask how many miles per hour we are going I will be able to tell them. So please update that please since I payed $10 for this. ThanksNatwestkid
