### 5/5 — Application très bien pensée !

*2025-04-22*

Suite à un souci technique, le service client a été très réactif et arrangeant, 
L’application est vraiment un indispensable au quotidien dans mon milieu professionnel.

### 3/5 — Application dictionnaire aéro français/anglais goursau

*2021-10-13*

L’application ne fonctionne plus depuis iOS 15

**Developer response:** Désolé pour la réponse tardive. L'application est de nouveau disponible sur les dernières versions iOs

### 2/5 — Pas très pratique

*2016-11-16*

Pas très adaptée à l'aviation commerciale; beaucoup de traductions dans le domaine mécanique mais peu en ce qui concerne tout le reste du domaine aéronautique; de plus je la trouve très longue a démarrer (chargement des traductions).
Enfin, les différentes traductions d'un même mot sont données pêle mêle sans que ne soient détaillées leurs différentes interprétation, comme cela se fait pourtant dans tous les dictionnaires. J'ai été souvent obligée d'aller vérifier le sens exact d'un mot sur internet. A ce prix là c'est dommage!

### 3/5 — Correcte, mais des correctifs à apporter.

*2016-04-07*

Je viens de l’acheter et sur les quelques mots essayés : un absent («flaperon») et une faute (acronyme pour «Above Mean Sea Level» : AMSI, ne serait-ce pas plutôt AMSL ?).
Ça démarre fort…

Mises à jour attendues pour ne pas regretter les 20 €

### 1/5 — Très incomplet !!!

*2014-09-24*

Application très chère pour ce que c'est !!
Surtout ne vous attendez pas à trouver tous les mots il faut impérativement avoir un autre dictionnaire pour compléter.

### 1/5 — non compatible avec iphone 3g !!!!!!!

*2012-03-02*

Je viens d'acheter cette appli et en essayant de l'installer sur mon iphone 3g, itunes m'informe qu'elle nécessite une version de ios 4.3 ou plus. Or ma version est ios 4.2.1 et elle est à jour pour un iphone 3g, tjs d'après itunes. Question : est-ce que je viens de perdre 30 euros ou serait-il possible de rendre cette appli compatible avec les versions légèrement antérieures à ios 4.3 ??????????? Une réponse serait fort appréciée

### 4/5 — Pas mal du tout !

*2011-12-22*

Application très utile qui détient une bonne partie du vocabulaire aéronautique couramment utilisé ! Idéal pour les pro de l aviation. Cependant une interface plus agréable serait la bienvenue. J espère aussi que le vocabulaire continuera d être étoffé ! 
En vue du prix j espère qu on aura droit à des Maj, mais je n en doute pas !
Merci

### 5/5 — Complet

*2011-11-16*

Très bon dico pour ceux qui travaille dans l'aéronautique. Il m'est fort utile en toute situation
