## What is 787 Guide?

Just got hired to fly the Boeing 787?

Then 787 Guide is for you. Use this guide to better understand your 787 manuals.

It’s no secret that the great aircraft builders from Seattle write the dullest manuals.

As the name suggests, this is a guide. It does not intend to replace your manuals. Yes, you will still have to read the 787 FCOM. But if you have started off reading 787 Guide, I guarantee that grasping the content of the 787 FCOM will be a whole lot easier!

For notational use only. Use this app to better understand your manuals, but always refer to the FCOM, QRH and FCTM.

### 2/5 — Good AP BUT you have to pay extra for the things you’ll want.

*2026-07-01, version 1.7.4*

Good AP it appears, and a lot of work done BUT after the $60 you’ll have to pay another $35 for the things trust me you’ll need for your training. Not sure why the developer didn’t just set a one price and give all the stuff you’ll want and need.

### 1/5 — Muy mala

*2025-10-01, version 1.7.3*

Es una app muy cara para la información que trae , nada nuevo , si uno quiere por ejemplo repasar memory ítems cobran suscripción ,todo lo cobran aparte , después de la cantidad que pague por la app. No la recomiendo. Muy mala.

### 5/5 — Fantastic and up to date Boeing 787 App

*2024-12-12, version 1.7.3*

Short and relevant videos, easy access to multiple operational and aircraft systems sections, high resolution pictures. 👍🏻

### 1/5 — Hmmm

*2024-11-01, version 1.7.3*

Pay for the app. Then pay more yearly inapp…

### 1/5 — Screen freezing after open app using Ipad pro M1

*2024-10-27, version 1.7.2*

Very bad experience after I payed and downloaded the app, I opened it my screen just freezing then out to Home Screen :((

### 1/5 — Unresponsive

*2024-10-12*

Unable to access the app. App just freezes on opening it. IOS 18

**Developer response:** It seems that the app update for iOS 18 has some unexpected issues. I’m working on a fix. Thank you for your patience. 
UPDATE: the latest version, 1.7.3, should fix this bug. Please give it a try, and consider updating the review if you are satisfied with the update.

### 5/5 — Fantastic supplement to the airline manuals & tools

*2024-06-14, version 1.6*

Having suffered through the Boeing CBT I found this app and all the offerings super useful.

My process was to have two iPads going at once, to do the read through on the App for each chapter first, followed by the FCOM chapter bouncing into the QRH as required.

Later following up with the flash cards also a great memory jog. 

Many thanks for the time and effort to offer the app, 

Cheers, Rob

### 1/5 — Pay and regret

*2024-04-09, version 1.6*

People who look for interactive cockpit view , you guys will find only single zoomed screen shot of a switchnot even a layout And lots of essays that include coldest daddy jokes in it . 

All in all it is not worth to pay.

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2024-03-06, version 1.6*

Bought this app for nearly 60 dollars and thought it would be like the pictures in the App Store. Primarily I wanted it for flash cards and memory item training. Once I got the app… those two things don’t work unless you buy a further subscription….. not mentioned anywhere in the App Store. Very misleading and really a stitch. So a waste of $60 dollars….

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2024-02-28, version 1.6*

Compliments fellow pilot of B787  nice job 👍
Well done. Super suggested if you are a pilot of B787 or during transition course.
