### 2/5 — Aircraft Airspeed IOS 12.1 Compatible?

*2018-10-31*

Is there any chance that the Aircraft Airspeed app can be made compatible for iOS 12?

These are by far the nicest aircraft gages out there. I own the other three, but it would sure be nice to have this one as well.

Can it be converted to 64 bit?

### 2/5 — no hardware?

*2010-06-25*

I bought this for iPhone 4 and it said - no hardware, magnetic compass not present.

### 2/5 — I wish it was accurate

*2010-05-08*

I bought this the night before a long cross country...just to try it out.  I was not really expecting a great deal, but thought it was kind of cool.  I was flying at 5500' and at a fairly consistent 150kts.  I turned this on and kept an eye on it for  2.5 hr flight.  It was occasionally right, but seemed to be incorrect more than correct.  The heading was off by quite a bit (30+ degrees several times), as was the speed.  

It might be a fun app, just not a very reliable one.

### 4/5 — Not smooth

*2010-02-28*

Good and cool app but when you move the dial is very choppy and not smooth like the default app. Please fix this.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2008-12-31*

Works well. As described. A tad slow, but I blame that on the iPhone. Fun for those learning to fly as a fast way to start thinking in degrees.

### 1/5 — Pops off

*2026-04-13*

I downloaded this to my mini iPad 6, and ever time I open it, the app closes, so I am unable to use it.

### 1/5 — Won’t open on my iPad

*2025-04-06*

Downloaded the app and won’t open on my iPad

### 1/5 — L’application ne s’ouvre pas

*2025-03-25*

T’achète l’application et elle ne s’ouvre même pas, arnaque

### 1/5 — does not work on my iphone- just wasted $1.39!

*2023-04-07*

does not work on my iphone - just wasted $1.39! hope i can get my money back

### 1/5 — Instant crash Ipad iOS 14.6

*2021-07-09*

Instantly crashes

### 1/5 — Not Bad-Elf capable

*2013-07-17*

This is the first app I've ever had that won't pick up the Bad Elf Pro GPS ... well, I've made bigger mistakes in the past.

### 1/5 — CirrusGlasair

*2013-06-26*

Just wasted 99 cents since it will NOT WORK on my iPod Touch4!

### 1/5 — Not impressed

*2013-04-21*

App does not recognise a digital compass on the iPhone 4S and just relies on GPS to provide a heading. The write says its easy to switch between the GPS and compass mode. 

Very pretty though!!!

### 2/5 — Heading Alarm Dysfunction

*2026-07-02*

I really like this Heading app and want it to work! My one complaint is the alarm function is at best inconsistent. 

Alarm enabled; button produces <beep>, but just displays red flag and can’t be changed. 

Exploring others…

### 2/5 — Please get rid of the “Compass?” message in the middle.

*2020-05-17*

Tapping “hide” doesn’t work.

### 5/5 — Aircraft heading.

*2021-04-20*

Does not work with iPhone 5. What a waste was such a good app. 
Sorry all good.

### 5/5 — Zafé zone (green)

*2020-06-30*

Can’t decrease neither increase the fault 10 degrees value, as you know that much zafe zone in a long trip result in a great deviation to final destination, moreover it’s a wonderful app it worth every cent.

### 5/5 — nice realistic aviation compass

*2019-04-26*

improvement suggestion:
1) the setup values will not be saved unfortunately, so every time the app gets restarted or brought in the forground the setup data  needs to be readjusted : heading alert options, digital display font, ...
2) trying to adjust the green arc (save zone)    terminates the app !!

### 5/5 — Good Heading Indicator

*2014-09-17*

For .99 - can't beat it! Best instrument display app. Exactly what I was looking for for my iPad and iPhone. Lots of features. Very satisfied.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2012-01-26*

I was skeptical but this app works great. I travel all over Florida and ghis spp has been spot on. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Inop on I phone 4

*2011-08-12*

Thanks for the timely bug fix. 
It's up and functioning nicely now
Many Thanks
Wayne

### 5/5 — Very nice!

*2010-05-06*

I just go this app and the other instruments by iAware. They are really nice! Work correctly and just plain fun. Nice graphics and they really work. All iAware gauges are great and functional. If you fly, it is even better. I took them up and they are all good. Horizon might not be the most functional as it cannot detect bank angles exactly but then again, that is an iPhone shortcoming. After all, the iPhone can do many things but flying maybe is not its strongest asset. But it comes close! Anyway, very nice app!

### 5/5 — Nice... I like it

*2009-03-15*

Very cool. I like the app. Not for practicality, but for its stability. I wanted a basic app with attractive interface that would give me nav headings, altitude, and GPS lat+long. This one does it with relative ease. It's not complicated at all and doesn't require you to read a guide or how to manual. "So a easy a caveman could do it". The app is stable and I haven't had any problems.

### 5/5 — Bonne application

*2009-02-10*

Bon compas avec bien evidement la route vraie de part le gps donc pas besoin de calcul de dérive mais aussi avec possibilité d'afficher la déclinaison magnétique ce qui serait bien pour l'améliorer c'est d'afficher les valeur directes en fonction de la route suivie en face des 45 degrés, 90 degrés et 180 degrés

### 4/5 — Inop on iPad mini 5

*2020-11-27*

I purchased this app to use on my iPad mini 5 but the app won’t open so I airdropped it to my iPhone 6 and it works fine. Hopefully there’s a fix in the works.
