  • Wow, top flight planner in my book!

    1000 hour PIC here in a single engine plane who worked as a single pilot in the cockpit. While I’m not actively flying, I did run this app through its paces and all I can say is why is this planner NOT in the top grossing apps in the flight planning searches? This flight planner runs circles around foreflight when it comes to ease of use in the cockpit. Easy to read in varying lighting conditions, easy to amend IFR flight plans. Weather briefings and overview of flight planning) is the best I’ve seen (far better than foreflight and fltplango)

    I had foreflight basic subscription and you get far MORE features in this app (log book and geo referenced approach plates) in a simple one price subscription app AT A MUCH CHEAPER YEARLY RATE.

    If I was an active pilot, you can bet this app would be on my yoke mount.

  • Fantastic

    Amazing app, amazing customer support
  • Best App for Weather!

    I love Aerovie. It costs less than half of ForeFlight and does almost just as much, and when it comes to weather, it does significantly more. The vertical profile tool is very beneficial for a lower time pilot like myself, as it helps me see and dissect possible en route weather in an easy, but thorough manner. More pilots need to be flying with Aerovie!

  • Was great

    I'd give it five stars, however, the app keeps closing on me whenever I try to view a route from a zoomed out view. Seems to be a relatively recent issue too, possible bug that can hopefully be fixed with an update. Also, weather illustrations could be better. Looking at a prog chart to get an idea for upcoming weather is like looking at a pixelated outdated chart, same with icing illustration on the overlay menu. It's competitive with foreflight to an extent. One great feature that could make Aerovie really stand out is incorporating the option to select "ATC Preferred routes" when it comes to IFR flying much like foreflight does, working on weather overlay graphics/visuals, and possibly incorporating the ability to draw text on the plates or charts as reminders, outlining taxi routes on an airport diagram, or circling important portions of an approach/DP plate. EDIT: Looks like there was an update available and I did not notice it until after sending this - I'll give it five stars due to the fact that the developer seems to have caught this bug relatively quick! For what it's worth, the app is great, just my .02 on what I think could be improved upon. Merely constructive criticism, nothing more :)

  • I wish I could change the units of measurement.

    I really like the features in this app. I’m still trying to get used to the interface. My complaint is not being able to change the units of measurement. I’d like to use mph over knots since that is how my AI reads and to stay consistent with that I’d like to be able to view SM vs KM. Maybe in a future release?

  • Excellent App

    From time to time there might be a small glitch BUT if the developer hasn't already noticed it all you have to do is send him an email and he gets on it as fast as possible.

    Very user friendly and great customer support make this app the one for privates to pro's. If there is something you need answered about Aerovie just ask and the response time is usually pretty quick.

    Excellent app indeed

  • Some nice features but clunky interface

    The vertical weather profile is it's best feature. But pinching does not work as expected, at one point hanging during 1.3X resize.
    I like that it starts queuing up approach charts when airports are added to your flightplan.
    But trying to create a flightplan was frustrating experience:
    The map kept resetting me centered on current location. Im trying to rubber the flight path and keep getting thrown back.
    Could not find a way to query individual airspace, it just gives me a long list of every one on the chart. Be nice to get a vertical profile of those as well.
    Could not add airways.
    I personally like text and cascading menus, the symbolic buttons doesn't work for me. And I watch a video, it shows buttons on the bottom, I never could figure out how to get to that screen.

    Developer Response

    The reason it rubber-bands back to the current position is that you've selected the GPS location follow-me button in the upper right corner. You'll need to tap this again to unfollow your current position. It allows you to move to another location as this is a use-case in-flight to quickly scan another area of the map but then if you do nothing it'll move you back to the current GPS location.
  • Do not think twice!

    This is a fabulous app, full of resources and information. Very comprehensive and user friendly. If you are thinking twice, think no more. Download and start using it. You will not regret. Amazing development!
  • Watch out Foreflight!

    I used to subscribe to Foreflight and in the beginning they were clearly innovative. However, over the years that innovation has seemed to stagnate and the value added diminish. In using Aerovie I've been more than impressed with the feature set. One of the most valuable capabilities has been the graphical weather depiction that the software provides. This with the price point provides what I believe an equal if not greater value option than Foreflight.

  • Best present flight weather available

    The pre-flight weather information available is second to none. It's a true life saver and I can't see how anyone could function without it.
