Slick on an iPad mini
You can't beat this for the money. A simulator of this high fidelity, for only 25 bucks. It's a pilot dream! I would gladly pay another $10 in-app purchase for the ability to sync this with X-Plane.
Fleeced?
I bought this app months ago, and just recently updated the app. They switched to a "subscription" style payment system without keeping track of the people who already paid under the old method. Feeling ripped off until they fix this.
GTN App
Great app for training, except a recent update turned my originally paid for app into a trial and it wants me to buy it again! Waiting for Garmin to respond.
It is a must have app for any owner of a GTN or for CFI's training a GTN owner.

Love it. Try before you fly.
Works for me.
Waste
This is a just a 30 day trial. Which is fine but should be mentioned in the description.
Excellent way to learn
Just spent two days on this program mastering the GTN. Book at my side, iPad to play on. What a great asset to those wishing to become proficient.
Do not understand the objections regarding restart on leaving program. Flight plans and position can be saved. And as a teaching tool, the more of its functions you use, the more it has achieved it's purpose.

Disappointed
Such a well-executed app EXCEPT for the fact that it reinitializes anytime you switch away from it! That is totally insane! You can't even go look at documentation or use your Garmin Pilot app without starting over. This continues to be true with the lates release. Come on, Garmin, FIX this!!
Very useful app for learning the GTN boxes, but...
...if you browse away from the app for even a second - say, to consult the manual??!, it reinitializes and you lose your flight plan and all inputs.
If this were a review of the GTN 750 it would get 5 stars. But this is a review of this app - and it is ridiculous to charge $25 for something with such a huge flaw. The simulator itself would earn 5 stars easily from me if it did not reinitialize every time I switch to another app.

Very Worth it!!
I found this trainer to be simply amazing. Would highly recommend anyone get this program if you are looking at getting a GTN. I have had no problems with the program losing it's place if I switch out of it and come back.
Not fully thought through!
Usefulness is greatly reduced by the fact that the programs starts all over with the initialization every time you minimize the screen. For example if you spend 30 minutes to setup an elaborate flight plan to test all the features, the you have to go to the browser to lookup something on the net, when you get back to this program it will have erased everything you did and stars all over from the initialization again like you just turned it on!
