  • Details

    This app provide a lot of details about airports. This is a necessary tool for every pilot.
  • Settings

    You provide a wide range for settings, then pilots from all over the world can use it
  • PRO version

    This is a very useful app, at least for me, but the free version does not let users the gain enough experience before purchase. But believe me, it's worth a few dollars.
  • I appreciate your effort

    Guys, you worked a lot to improve it. I used it in 2015 first, but it has developed a lot. Your effort worth a 5 star review :)
  • Three Letter ID - Failure / Keyboard - Failure

    When one types “ATL” for Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson airport, the user is unable to select the desired airfield, from the list of airfields that are given, because the keyboard is in the way.

    This highlights another issue with many similar applications - the inability to receive three letters and logically deduce the appropriate airport in order. For example, if the user searches “FCO” the first airport should be Rome, or “ATL” should yield Atlanta.

    Why use the three letter ID vice the standard four letter ID? Well, many times one doesn’t know the four letter ID for international flights and the user is referencing the three letter airline code.

  • So far, so good

    I'm an airline pilot and just started using this app as an SA builder on my way to the airport. It provides basic weather info in an easy to read format and I love the ability to save routes.

    The only thing that needs improvement is the wind direction arrow. It points 180 degrees out from the wind direction. This feature was likely designed by a programmer (i.e. Someone unfamiliar with how we read winds in the aviation community) and not a pilot. It doesn't make a big difference because wind direction is shown next to the arrow in degrees. BUT if they really wanted to score style points, they'd flip the wind arrow to show the direction FROM which the wind is blowing (pilot weather) instead of the direction IN which it is blowing (non-pilot weather.) Small thing, but style points!

  • Not really useful if a pilot

    The pressure is in the wrong units, should be inHg, visability in km?
    The metar, taf is side by side, should have metar first follow by forecast.
    The route is displayed in google maps, not a aero chart.
    Runway display confusing, display unit of knots?
  • Great App but crashes to Desktop

    Hi,

    I fly an ERJ-175 professionally. This app is GREAT! Only problem is crashes after several clicks on the airplane to move along the route. This may be because of my IOS version of 9.3.

    Works as advertised and even gathers weather info for overseas airfields. I particularly like that it allows the recovery of data along your route of flight and not just at airport of departure and arrival. It also stores this info so it is retrievable during the flight when you may not be able to access the internet.

    It would be a nice option to be able to drag the course line to resemble your actual flight path as opposed to the straight line drawn by the program. Either this or allow your actual route, including actual waypoints to be entered. This would require the use of a database and would make the program larger so simply allowing the drag and drop of the course line would be most cost effective.

    I would rate the app a 5 right now as it is if it did not repeatedly crash, but again, this may be due to my IOS version of 9.3. It offers the most features in one app. Keep up the fantastic work.

    Thank you,
    JazzyJazz

  • Slow

    The App some times slow and some airports are missing but the layout is nice
  • Demo version, use only once

    Unless I missed something, this "free" version works only once, then you must buy paid version.
    This is a one time use demo only.
    Looks promising, but not enough to buy so soon.
