### 2/5 — Has Potential

*2021-07-23, version 1.4*

Not really a checklist unless you can tick or mark it done

### 2/5 — Needs work

*2019-03-25*

I like the concept but there is no way to check off items completed so you know where you left off if you get interrupted.

### 1/5 — Not what I expected

*2018-01-15, version 1.4*

I thought I was buying a fully configurable check list. There are only 2 Aircraft to choose from!!!!!

### 5/5 — Just works!

*2016-09-22, version 1.3*

Had some issues setting up my own checklist but after emailing support they were able to fix everything right away!
Works great!

### 1/5 — Mr

*2016-09-16*

Don't get sucked in! Very bad impossible to add your own check list!

**Developer response:** Please email support@skycharts.net if you have any issues and we'll get it sorted.

### 4/5 — Good idea but bad product.

*2014-10-01*

At first, the app was very confusing in terms of adding one's own checklist; however, after contacting the developer, I am quite pleased. He has bent over backwards in helping me get my files added. This app is a work in progress, so give it a shot. I love the concept and this has now become my default checklist app.
