Continuous improvements !

This app gets better with every update! I know it had a slow start and there is validity to the reviews left years ago, but this app has really streamlined into an excellent platform for DoW aircrews!
Only question, why does it take so long for updates to get pushed through the App Store? Updates are advertised for many months before they’re available to the user.

This app sucks

You need a PhD in software development to understand this app. I don’t understand why the army wants to make this the new standard. It is not user friendly. The user guide online is useless. Get a contract with ForeFlight and make everyone’s lives easier.

Great EKB. Highly recommend to all DOD aircrew. Frequent updates with an intuitive interface. I have been using this app for over 4 years and have had minimal issues. The “User Apps” feature has been incredibly useful when operating and planning in different countries that otherwise do not have readily available digital and georeferenced maps. Filing flight plans through the app is also very simple. A useful addition would be adding a feature that would depict flight level winds for the selected route of flight.

Instructor Pilot

I have been using this app from many years and I highly recommend it to my students for their planning not only IFR/VFR but for tactical mission planning as well here at USAACE. The number 1 complain continues to be having to update the password, which with todays face recognition and fingers print access to keychain on IPads is truly not an issue at all. Airdrop/Sharing cycles with other users is fantastic. The DOD FLIP access and downloads within cycles has no match. The Aero App Data Server is a must. It allows the user ti take their experience to the next level; specially by using the Convert TIIF files into MBTTiles tool. Two recommendations: 1 Please bring satellite imagery back u ser the map selection tab. 2 Allow users to AirDrop/Share user flies such as MBTiles. The number two recommendation is particularly important when users create routes on Falcon View that can later one be converted into MBTiles for their tablets as a backup to a MFD failure.
