Not sure why the developer didn’t just set a one price and give all the stuff you’ll want and need. ### 3/5 — Good but not great. *2023-03-16, version 1.5.4* There is a lot of information, however very superficial. As well there are several tab that require additional payment to access. For the cost seems a little lacking. ### 2/5 — Things you need to consider before purchasing *2021-09-23* It’s a good app but you’ve to subscribe extra $19 per year for a pro version. It only includes educational calculator, memory item trainer, and 787 fact cards. I though they are going to include that in the app after paying all that. All is available in FCOM and I thought it was included. So don't waste you're money for the new stuffs because you can't get them for free. 😑 ### 5/5 — Dreamliner captain *2021-06-24, version 1.4.1* Great app to complete FCOM & FCTM Amazing work! ### 4/5 — App is good but the pricing should be justified *2021-05-29* App is good, but post purchase subscription could be given for free for a month for eg so all features can be checked out ### 5/5 — Excellent app. *2021-05-12, version 1.4* I fly the 787 and use this app as revision and keeping current, especially before the simulator or during prolonged periods without flying (like covid). It’s great for technical and operational information. ### 5/5 — Best 787 App *2021-03-11, version 1.3.5* Really cool app to improve your 787 knowledge. Very comprehensive and visual app. ### 4/5 — The best *2021-02-22* Definitely the best app around, extremely useful for professional or non professional pilots. A must if you’re flying the B787, Good Job!!! ### 5/5 — Friendly *2021-02-21, version 1.3.5* 787 Guide is simply the best quick review guide i’ve seen. Easy to go through. Fun way to quickly review any system or topic. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-02-15, version 1.3.5* Very detailed and informative... a must need for anyone currently flying, or planning to fly the 787. ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-02-14, version 1.3.5* I find this app really helps keep my systems knowledge and procedures current. Particularly relevant with COVID 19 and limited work. It provides a great overview and refresher of the 787 - I refer to it alongside the approved operating manuals. The app photos, diagrams and easy writing style help to bring some of the ‘dryer’ Boeing text to life. As other reviewers have mentioned, there are also plenty of extremely useful, practical tips. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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 $60 dollars…. ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2024-01-20* The app is overpriced, you paid 44$ of information you can find it on google and later they ask you to subscribe for more features for 20$ per month. 👎🏻 **Developer response:** Hi Asef, Sorry to hear that you don’t like the value of the app. While a lot of the information is out there elsewhere (a lot is in the FCOM for example), it is hopefully a bit more digestible the way it’s presented in the 787 Guide app. Regarding the 787 Guide Pro subscription, the cost is $20 per year, not per month. ### 1/5 — Very poor app *2021-03-08, version 1.3.5* Too expensive, poor info. It’s not worth it ### 1/5 — Not a 787 guide *2021-01-01* Content is poor and the information is far from being accurate in many cases. The subscription with the flashcards is a total rip off. **Developer response:** Sorry to hear that you didn’t like the app. I am continuously working to keep the 787 Guide up-to-date. Please report any inaccuracies using the support page. Feedback is always much appreciated. ### 1/5 — Greed *2020-10-07, version 1.3.1* We already paid a lot, assuming it was a life time purchase. Now this subscription proved how it is all about greed and probably non-sense stuff is about to published compared to before. All pilots are going from major deductions or even loss of jobs and now this subscription.. Brilliant ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. 👍🏻 ### 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 ### 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. ### 5/5 — Airline pilot *2024-02-01* 121 pilot for 36 yrs, I love this app! ### 5/5 — Best aviation app ever!!! *2023-12-13, version 1.6* The creator of this app is a genius- has helped me a lot through my 787 life, i really recommend this app to everyone that is in this airplane. ### 5/5 — Well worth the money *2023-06-22* The creator of this app has put a tremendous amount of time into it. Very well written and actually makes learning the aircraft and its operation much more user friendly than the Boeing manuals. ### 5/5 — Must have app for B787 pilots *2023-03-17, version 1.5.4* One app that is very practical and effective in accumulating the knowledge and experience of dedicated pilots is a must-have. This can enhance and streamline the learning process for new pilots, creating a better understanding of flight principles and safety procedures. It can also help experienced pilots to stay up-to-date with the ever-changing aviation technology and regulations. The app is an invaluable tool for pilots who are committed to their aircraft and want to continuously improve their skills, and ultimately, deliver a safer and more efficient flying experience for their passengers. ### 5/5 — Excellent App *2023-02-15, version 1.5.4* The pro edition is worth every penny if you’re currently flying the 787. Highly recommended. ### 5/5 — So useful *2021-09-11, version 1.4.1* I used the paid version of this app when preparing to return to flying from a long absence. The app is fantastic and breaks down the need to know bits from the FCOM into understandable and easy to follow chapters. Would thoroughly recommend this app to anyone joining the 787 fleet. ### 5/5 — Very helpful for a new B787 pilot *2021-09-06, version 1.4.1* The app is well organized and well written and is continually being updated and amended. The author’s writing style makes it easier to absorb what is at times some pretty dry material. Now please someone come up with a functioning FMS simulator at a reasonable price. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
