### 4/5 — Good but simple

*2026-08-18, version 3.1.0*

Great app for learning & reviewing all the basics. Once you’ve learned that, the app has limited depth for detailed technical knowledge.

### 4/5 — Great App to Learn From

*2024-06-27, version 2.2.0*

I love this app it explains the 737s systems in good and quick Detail and as I’m training to work on this aircraft this has helped me understand the systems better.

### 5/5 — 737 handbook

*2024-03-26, version 2.2.0*

Amazingly informative

### 5/5 — Great revision guide

*2024-01-08, version 2.2.0*

Easy to understand. Good diagrams.

### 3/5 — Great foe initial training

*2023-12-15, version 2.2.0*

Not bad at all, however very heavy to upload and crashes very often, the update is continuously and non stop

### 5/5 — Wonderful

### 5/5 — Exactly what I have been searching for.

*2023-04-07, version 2.1.0*

This app is a fantastic resource for anyone who wants to learn the 737NG/MAX’s systems, and to have a valuable flight deck reference when operating the airplane. Each system is explained and illustrated in a way that makes the fundamentals easy to learn and review, while also offering the depth required to gain a much deeper understanding. 

As someone with a prior background in business aviation and its training infrastructure, I cannot overstate how disappointed I have been with the clumsy and archaic 737 systems references supplied by my company. They were obviously written to satisfy a legal requirement, rather than to clearly convey information. I have searched for a comprehensive and accessible systems guide for years—this is the one.

### 5/5 — Invaluable Resource

*2023-03-02*

The layout and presentation is top notch and aids in assimilating the information easily.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot for your feedback! More exciting features are coming this year 😊

*2023-02-12, version 2.1.0*

Excellent app. Valuable, easy to read information. Lifetime subscription content

### 5/5 — Great resource for the professional 737 pilots

*2023-01-19*

I initially used this as a resource to study for my command upgrade. Now I use it for a detailed reference if I want a quick refresher. It is handy in cruise flight as well. The interactive portion is especially helpful to keep you on your toes with memory items. I look forward to the continuous updates. Petr,  The dedication to your craft shows thorough this handbook. Thank you! From a Canadian 737 pilot

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your kind feedback! I am really glad that you find The 737 Handbook helpful:). I am currently working on great new features which will come in the upcoming updates together with regular content updates. I hope that those will make The 737 Handbook even more useful:)

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2026-01-17*

只能看图片，不能起飞

**Developer response:** Hi,

The 737 Handbook is educational tool for professional pilots, not flight simulator. It is clearly stated everywhere on the AppStore.

- Petr

### 1/5 — Good but needs to work at all times

*2025-07-16, version 2.2.0*

App doesn’t work when you aren’t connect online. Ridiculous. Makes it essentially useless.

### 1/5 — Stuck at 56%

*2025-03-15*

Installed and deleted several times and always when I opened the app it gets stuck at 56% says I have a slow connection. I don’t, deleted and moved on to another App.

**Developer response:** Hi! Thank you for your feedback! If the app gets stuck at 56%, it cannot connect to our servers. This is usually because of the VPN or firewall settings on the Wifi. If you try different internet access point, it should work. 

You can always contact me at ultimate@737handbook.com and I will be able to assist you.

### 1/5 — Unable to download.

*2024-03-11*

The app keeps stopping at downloading premium content and shows slow internet connection.  I have 300Mbps connections
Taking forever to load the app.

**Developer response:** Hi!

Thank you for your feedback! Can you please change the internet access point (4G LTE)? Sometimes the VPN / Firewall setting on the wifi can block the download and cause the “slow internet” warning. This fixes the issue.

- Petr

### 1/5 — Premium content not available

*2023-06-09*

Paid for the premium version and the app keep loading starting downloading content. Disappointed. I’d like a refund on please.

**Developer response:** Hi!

I am sorry to hear that you have issues downloading the premium content. If the download gets interrupted you can restart the app (killing it in processes and opening it again), alternatively you can just delete it and download it again from the AppStore, the premium download will be automatically restarted. Before you do so, check if your device has enough space on the disk. If the issues persist, please contact me on ultimate @737handbook.com and I will he happy to help.

For refunds, you need to initiate the process yourself through Apple Support at www.reportaproblem.apple.com

### 1/5 — I do not see anything

*2022-03-25, version 2.0.0*

I purchased the app thinking it might be the reason why I don't see anything but even after the purchase it does not show any content

### 1/5 — Bought life time and won’t give access

*2020-10-27, version 1.4.0*

Will not allow access after purchase

### 1/5 — 看不了

*2020-03-21*

中国区用不了 会卡在50%

**Developer response:** Hi,

Thank you for your feedback! I am sorry that you have difficulties opening the app. At 50% the app contacts App Store to verify whether your Apple ID paid or not. Please contact us at ultimate@737handbook.com so that we can resolve the issue together.

Edit: We were in contact with Apple, their advice is that you should contact Apple support directly as there seems to be an issue seems to be individual tied to your Apple ID.

### 3/5 — I can’t do the memory items

*2026-04-01, version 2.2.0*

It used to be good

### 3/5 — Ok

*2026-01-16, version 2.2.0*

Interactive components could be better. Very sensitive to touch, and some not that intuitive.

Was expecting much better FMC emulation (which is primarily what I purchased for).

Value found more in the technical writeup and videos.

Opinion is the app expensive for what it is.

Either pay more for a better app, or don’t pay at all.

Godd app

### 5/5 — Must have for 737 Pilots!

*2024-11-10*

I was hesitant before buying the premium version, but it’s absolutely worth it. All the information, along with pictures is so well put together.

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2024-06-19, version 2.2.0*

Amazing app in every way. The main downside is that now, every other app for any other model seems like junk. Wish you could make one for 777. Great job on this one.

### 5/5 — B737 app

*2024-05-27*

Very good app for all level of pilots

**Developer response:** Thank you very much for your feedback! I really appreciate it:)
