### 1/5 — Doesn't work

*2016-01-22*

Doesn't work at all!!  Not worth the money

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2014-11-29*

Great for checklist, custom notes, manuals, etc. highly recommended as an addition to foreflight or competitors!

### 5/5 — Buena aplicacion

*2012-11-21*

Una aplicacion muy facil de usar, comodo y todo lo que quieras lo puedes meter.

### 4/5 — FUNCTIONAL

*2012-08-31*

This app is functional and simple to use.
It could use a highlighting function. Overall, I like it!!!

### 2/5 — Just a viewer

*2012-05-19*

Nothing else.  Pretty lame.

### 2/5 — Great App, but needs 2 mayor fixes ASAP.

*2012-05-07*

In general this app it's a great tool for pilots. It's easy to use and fast. But I found 2 mayor design flaws that cloud be fixed with a quick update that will rate this app 4 or 5 stars. The first one is that after you create the quickswitchs in a certain order, you can re-arrange them as you like. You can change their color and delete them, but you can't change the order and that is really annoying for me, specially since you want to keep your stuff as organized as possible. The second flaw is that you can only zoom to a certain degree and then the app won't let you zoom in anymore. This is a serious problem when trying to read a large PDF en route chart. If these 2 things are fixed I would rate this app a 4 !!!.

### 4/5 — All in all very good

*2012-01-18*

This app is nice, especially the night mode of green or red.
However with all good apps here are some things wishful things that would help.  Make tabs a little smaller, maybe add orange and yellow to night colors.  Ability to write or highlight on charts.  All in all very good idea

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2011-09-10*

The developer was very responsive to suggestions and the app runs great!

### 5/5 — Great little app

*2011-03-12*

I love this app. Simple. Everything u need. Never have to buy paper charts again. Just download the .tiff charts from FAA.gov and use the image converter on the developers website. Load the charts via iTunes. I have loaded my checklist, current sectional and TAC charts, AFD, approach plates, nav log, and am ready to go.

### 5/5 — Buen trabajo

*2011-01-07*

Excelente aplicación para el desarrollo de mi trabajo, solo le falta el poder girar los archivos, ya sea a forma vertical u horizontal.
