User reviews

Different

Version 4.0 has more features but the map doesn't show on my SE 2 with IOS 27. It shows on 17e and iPad. I liked the older version for charts. Now they're buried.

Response from developer

Thanks for trying 4.0 and for the feedback. Sorry that you are not happy with the update. In my testing, the map draws fine on an SE-sized screen, so I'd like to work out what's different on yours. One thing that can look exactly like a missing map: if the app doesn't have your location yet, it may open over open ocean, which could look like an empty view. Zooming out, tapping the arrow button at the bottom right (with Location allowed for AeroPointer in Settings), or searching for an airport and tapping it should bring the map detail back into view. If it stays blank after that, please contact me at https://www.pilotscafe.com/contact/ and mention "SE 2", and I'll be glad to look into it. --- FAA Charts are still just one tap from any airport: select the airport, pull the airport detail sheet open, and the "Charts" button is at the top.

Charts??

Charts aren’t loading 😕

Response from developer

Charts load again in version 4.0, with a complete redesign and new features. If a chart still won't open, please let me know by tapping "Contact the developer" in Settings > About

No notams

Not able to retrieve notams any longer. Tried to send report but that fails. Is app still supported?

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback. NOTAMs load again in version 4.0, with a complete redesign and new features. If NOTAMs still fail for you, please let me know by tapping Contact the developer in Settings > About

Awesome for flight sim

Got this app to use for flight sim. Up-to-date charts and a simple interface make it easy to quickly find a chart for an airport.

Response from developer

Thank you! Version 4.0 is out with a complete redesign, bug fixes, and new features.

A truly great app

I cannot praise this app enough. As a confirmed AvGeek I find the information to be second to none. A*
