Better

I finally got the problems resolved. I would suggest a use-defined filter on the list of places. I don't need a list of heliports. I just want airports.

Response from developer

Thank you, yes this feature is in the works, pls wait for the next update.

Airline Codes

You can’t search for an airline code. For example, my company booked me a flight on CX979. I want to know what airline that is. A search for CX yields nothing, even though that data is present in the app. Seems like an easy fix.

Was great before the last update

This was a wonderful app before the last update to 6.9. The previous version had a wonderful graphical presentation.

Response from developer

The basic graphic concept of the app is the same from the beginnig in year 2013.

App doesn’t work

When you open it searches and auto closes. Not very helpful

Response from developer

Pls try dejete it and download it again. If you have questions or need help we can chat at www.aircodes.space

This app crashed every times

This app crashed every times when I opened it on my iPhone 12 mini at least one year already, I thought the developer would fixed it afterwards however it doesn’t until now.
Please fix it.
Otherwise, this is really not that bad.

Response from developer

Please delete the app and download it again. There was a mismatch of database between 2 versions of the app. This bug was fixed immediately.
