DO NOT DOWNLOAD IN CANADA

This app is no good in Canada as per the other review. There is no way to cancel the subscription in the app.
Haven’t been able to get my money back from Apple. Have to go to credit card company next.

Not Canadian

Sold in the Canadian App Store, but no Canadian charts. 1-star for this uselessness. Change the app and add Canadian charts and the review can be changed. Will update if anything does.

Ruined new version

I’ve been using this app for about 3 years and it’s been great. Right before EAA AirVenture 2023 they put out a terrible new release making it impossible to file a flight plan. You enter in data to the flight plan manager and it doesn’t update the map. Impossible to file a flight plan so make to calling flight service.

Anyway, don’t buy this, it’s going down hill. And it’s not safe.

Response from developer

We are very sorry for the bugs in the new update. We have a fix coming later today that should address the filing of flight plans. We agree, not being able to file a flight plan is not safe. We will take care of the issues and hopefully earn your trust back. Thank you for your review and concerns.

Doesn’t accept no home number on sign up

What a stupid first screen. Asks for a phone number, but doesn’t accept it or even ask for the country or area code. Is this an app that assumes everyone is on the US?

Doesn’t work well, especially for the price

The Apple Watch part of this app just flat doesn’t work, trying to view radar crashes it, it needs the iPhone and isn’t remotely stand alone, NRST plus Windy does everything this tries to do, better and a fraction of the price

On the iPhone, it’s just clunky and for the price point its too close to foreflight prices, if I want to save money fltplango is free and better

Response from developer

We apologize for the issues with the Apple Watch. We weren't aware of any crashes coming from the app related to that. If you wouldn't mind, reach out to us via email with what you were seeing and we will take care of it right away. Thanks for letting us know in your review.

Kind of meh

Support for Hawaii is abysmal. There’s no option to load the high resolution IFR sectional. Victor airways in Hawaii do not work — if you plug one in then your flight path jumps thousands of miles to the continental US and back. Oceanic tracks (R464 etc) are not recognized at all. Aside from the Hawaii specific issues, it is not possible to shortcut direct to a fix during an arrival or departure route. The app also seemingly hasn’t changed at all since its release as Aerovie years ago. Abandonware?

Response from developer

We can assure you the app has not been abandoned. Please reach out via email in the app if you are still having issues with airports in HI. We apologize if there were any difficulties using the app in flight. We will do everything we can to get these fixed as soon as we can. Thanks for leaving a review.

Flight plan and landscape

Have been using for couple years, nice app. It fails to open flight plans and lack of landscape orientation for iPhone are my two issues.

Response from developer

Thanks for the kind review. Landscape is always a hard one for phone layouts. We will see what we can do in the future as we make improvements to the app. We have made a lot of improvements to our flight planning features, we hope you have taken notice. Please reach out to us via email if you have any other pressing concerns or problems, we'd be happy to listen and try and take care of those.

Broken onboarding

The app opens on a rather nosey account creation screen that won’t accept phone numbers that have more than 10 digits. But at the end you’re rewarded with a “Account cannont be created’ error message. It’s built so poorly that iOS’ password generator doesn’t work.

Don’t purchase. Avoid Avoid Avoid

I will updated if anything changes, but I downloaded this app, then during the first day of the 30-day trial learned that it does not work in Canada where I need it to work. I was immediately charged for the app. I requested a refund but it was denied, then after contacting the credit card company I was issued a credit memo but Apple. Then, after I alerted the credit card company that a refund had been provided, the app was mysteriously reinstated and I was changed again by Apple (or the app developer). Stay away from this app! If anything positive comes of this I will update accordingly.

It’s a joke! Don’t waste your time.

There is no such thing “a 30 day trial “. It would not even let you look at it without subscribing.
