  • Superb

    It’s a great one
  • Graet and helpful ‘deserve to improve toward being excellent

    So useful app and helpful in flight
  • Recording tracks

    This is great for recording tracks. I like how it shows notams and weather. Handy app. I like it.
  • Good app but with some bugs

    There is a bug that doesn’t allow you to enter a decimal minute in waypoints.
  • Update 5 tries later

    Downloaded and first step of registering and getting sign-up code is not working. I tried requesting text I tried email and there is no response.
    Does anybody know if this app just disappeared off the face of the earth?
    My error. My email provider decided not to send me those codes. So now I I will try and use this thing and see how it works.

    OK, five tries later I’m still trying to figure this thing out. I am not the sharpest tack in the box but I tried to go back and edit a flight and it wants all kinds of information required before it will let you change anything like even label it.

    I did one flight I know was at 4:30 to 5:30 PM and when I look at it it was done the correct day but it was 830 to 9:30 PM. I cannot find a time change in Settings so I’m assuming it’s getting it from GPS. My iPad knows what time it is. I don’t know why the app does not.

    I can’t seem to figure out how to add alternate emergency airfield or landing places once I have picked a destination. When I tried to edit, my origin and my destination were the same as I was doing touch and goes, and it would not let me go past that point as it would not give me a place to put the destination airport when I put in the same one. So I’m lost on figuring that one out. I guess I kind of wish there was a class. The manual tells you some things but for some reason I am a very literal person and I’m looking for exact words on exact lines with the explanation or definition remaining the same from one place to another and sometimes that just doesn’t happen these days.When I try to enter my aircraft I get nowhere. It asked for ICAO type and it will not take which of control. I looked on the Internet and there are all these aircraft listed. Hundreds of them. I can’t find mine. So I can’t get through that form either. And then we move to entering the stuff to configure aircraft. At the end is the survival configuration and since I have nothing it says it will suggest things at the end to fill in the blank automatically. It leaves the blank left empty so you can’t save. it goes back to the survival question and answers and whether you pick yes or no it won’t let you finish without putting something in the box and it doesn’t like what I put in it as a zero and it doesn’t suggest like the initial screen says ———-this goes back to my earlier statement about being a literal person and I read something like this where it says it will fill it in at the end if you follow along and answer questions. And it does not do that. This is ultimately too frustrating for me and it happens all the time these days. It seems like committees are made and they don’t talk to each other. It’s pervasive everywhere. It prevents me from doing a lot of things and this app is just one example. Is it just me? It will not save the page of information on my aircraft. So I’ve been here another 45 or 15 minutes hopping around looking at things and trying to get some things done and I’m just not having much luck. Pretty soon it will drop another star.
    It is a simple aircraft. It is a trike.
    12–6-20. Update. It’s still thinks it’s 9 o’clock at night when it’s 5 o’clock in the afternoon. I cannot find anything in settings for it to fix the time.
    I guess I’m just gonna have to move to something else. In the advanced section the bottom line to tap on Maintenance does not show in either landscape or portrait positions on the iPad. I’m just not having any luck with this. Sorry y’all.

  • Works Really Well

    For an open source navigator it works really well. Doesn’t have some of the bells and whistles as other navigators but then it’s not a subscription based app either. Good job Air Mate!!

  • KEEPS CRASHING

    I DOWNLOADED TODAY AND HAVE BEEN EXPLORING IT FOR THE LAST 3 HRS. I LIKE WHAT I AM SEEING WITH THE EXCEPTION IT KEEPS CRASHING.
    I HAVE THE IPAD 7TH GENERATION NEW IN MAY 2020. WHEN I CLICK ON MY FLIGHT PLAN MOST OF THE TIME THE APP CRASHES AND TAKES ME TO THE HOME SCREEN OF IOS.
    I RELOAD THE APP CLICK AGREE AND THEN I MIGHT BE ABLE TO EDIT MY FLIGHT PLAN OR IT WILL CRASH AGAIN.

    FEATURES THAT WOULD MAKE THIS APP MORE FRIENDLY (COULD BE THE APP DOES THESE THINGS BUT I JUST HAVEN’T LEARNED TO MAKE THE CORRECT SETTINGS.

    I WOULD LIKE TO SEE A NEAREST FUNCTION.

    I WOULD LIKE TO BE ABLE TO RE-ORDER THE FLIGHT PLAN WITH OUT HAVING TO DELETE AND RE-ENTER DESTINATIONS AFTER THE POINT OF THE CHANGE. IN MAP MODE THE RE-ORDERING IS NOT GOOD AND YOU END UP GOING TO THE EDIT SCREEN DELETING THE DESTINATIONS TO THE POINT WHERE THE CHANGE YOU WANT IS MADE THEN RE-ENTER THE REMAINING DESTINATIONS IN THE ORDER YOU WISH.

    I WOULD LIKE THE APP TO OPEN THE MAP WITH MY HOME AIRPORT IN THE CENTER OF THE MAP.

    ALSO NOTICED WHEN IN THE SATELLITE MODE THE IMAGE IS VERY BLURY WHEN ZOOMED IN ON. THIS IS ANNOYING AND COULD BE MUCH BETTER AS A NONE BLURRED IMAGE IS WIDELY AVAILABLE. WHEN ADDING USER WAYPOINTS THIS IS VERY HELPFUL TO BE RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT THE WAYPOINT POSITIONED FOR THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF ACCURACY.

    I LOVE THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT OFFER A FREE APP FOR THE AVIATION COMMUNITY WHO ARE ON A TIGHT BUGET AND FOR THAT I AM VERY HAPPY. NEED IS THE MOTHER OF ALL INVENTIONS AND INVENTIONS GO THROUGH A REFINING PERIOD. I HOPE THESE COMMENTS HELP THE REFINEMENT OF THIS APP.

    I GAVE IT 2 STARS AS THE CRASHING IS SERIOUS AND DON’T THINK I WILL USE IT IN FLIGHT AT THIS POING IN TIME

  • Awesome App

    This app beats the pants off other (expensive) flight planning apps....and it is free! Stop searching for a better app unless you just like wasting your money. I can’t praise this app enough. Great job!

    Developer Response

    Dear Pilot, many thanks for your warm review that is much appreciated! You could count on us to continue to improve Airmate to provide you more features and the same easiness of use. Look out for next release to be released soon, it will provide a more fluid map display and various improvements. Happy landings.
  • Load time

    Would be good if the map was not always covered by black squares
  • Excellent

    Can’t be better!
