### 5/5 — Worth giving a try

*2026-08-05, version 2.4.1*

After using ForeFlight for many years, it’s nice to have another EFB option. There is a learning curve with this one. I met the team at Oshkosh 2026. They explained and showed how everything worked. I stopped in numerous times with questions that were always answered. Matt has always returned any emails sent to him in an extremely timely manner. I’m looking forward to using this in the future.Thanks , Matt.

### 5/5 — The Future of EFBs

*2026-07-28, version 2.4.1*

This is the EFB ForeFlight and Garmin Pilot users dream about at night. Detailed and accurate weather with a 7 day forecast right on the map. Fuel prices that are actually accurate and up to date. Geo-referenced charts, profile view with fixed depicted in an easy to read view. Imagine getting the $400 tier features for a fraction of the price with an app that just works and has common sense navigation and features. Does Everything. Period.

### 4/5 — Not for me

*2026-07-27, version 2.4.1*

I was excited to try this when I learned about it at Oshkosh. I downloaded it and played with it on the first night and had multiple issues trying to get things to work. The next day I went back to the kiosk and talked to one of the sales guys there and they helped me through some of the problems I was having. But just making a flight plan is confusing. Attempting to search for restaurants and gas prices cluttered the screen to the point where things were on top of each other and unreadable. It’s not compatible with either of my 2 ADSB receivers.  Also, it seems that the software requires a constant Internet connection to work. When flying in the airplane without an Internet connection, I couldn’t get anything to work at all. I had high hopes for this software. A lot of E FB software is difficult to use in the airplane, which is why I wrote my own. Hopefully they can clean this up and make it more user-friendly and easy to use while flying.

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-07-22, version 2.4*

The “map” is truly spectacular and the weather overlays are even better…but it’s not intuitive on some of the most basic functions needed to be useful. Too much “programmer” and too little “pilot” in my opinion. I do hope they improve.

### 3/5 — Better, but still not there

*2026-04-28, version 2.3.3*

I previously wrote a review for 8 Flight version 1, v2 has fixed a lot of the issues that I’ve seen, but it just gives off this overwhelming belief that the entire thing was built by AI without a lot of testing, a lot of random glitches and bugs, I’ve found the fuel pricing and FBO fees to be either completely inaccurate or outdated more than I expected (probably 10-15% of the time, but the app touts 99.9% accuracy). Better than it was though, for sure.

### 5/5 — Best EFB on the Market

*2026-02-18, version 2.2*

I switched to 8Flight as soon as I heard that ForeFlight was being sold to a PE. I was already looking to get away from FF because they were overpriced and kept raising prices without adding more features. I found 8Flight about a year ago and I have no regrets switching to it.

I’ve been using 8Flight now for almost a year. It has THE best weather radar imagery out of any EFB. The turbulence and clouds layers are also really accurate. The flight planning is easy to use and you can file any kind of flight plan. 

The app gets regularly updated with new innovative features. Its price beats(significantly) out both of the big name EFB’s yet offers/will offer the same features. 

Keep up the great work 8Flight team!

### 4/5 — Great value

*2026-02-17, version 2.1.27*

This EFB is an intuitively designed app that is optimized for Starlink and xm weather data streams.  It’s is easy to follow without all of the onscreen clutter of Garmin Pilot or Foreflight.  It is still being actively developed and new features are driven by the customer base.  Overall a great app for pilots.

### 5/5 — 8Flight restaurants and attractions

*2026-02-03, version 2.1.27*

The airport restaurants and attractions displayed on the map really make it helpful when traveling cross country and also give us ideas to go in our Bonanza.  Couple that with accurate fuel prices take the guess work out of our planned stops.  Love it!!!

### 5/5 — ADSB

*2026-01-31, version 2.1.27*

The team has rolled out excellent features! Finally GDL90 support. My biggest problem were the SIGMET/AIRMET overlays which cluttered the map. I’m GA flying under FL100 so a lot of these were irrelevant beyond flight planning phase.

### 5/5 — Made the switch!

*2025-12-09, version 2.1.15*

I’ve used many EFBs over the years, but I’ll be sticking with 8Flight. Super clean design and no fluff. I can’t say enough good things about the realtime weather and overall fidelity of the data (fuel, FBO, etc). Highly recommend for any GA pilots.
