Otherwise good info. ### 5/5 — Great!! *2020-12-30* A great app for aviation enthusiasts!! Easy to use, and the creator is very responsive about updates! Update: Nice to see an update for iOS 14... Please add: Airbus A220 Airbus A350 Boeing Dreamlifter Boeing 737-MAX ### 5/5 — Brilliant App *2020-11-10* I have had this app since it came out. As an aircraft fanatic it’s a must have. I hope it widens to include even more aircraft types especially General Aircraft civilian light types. Think you might want, then you do. The spotting log is great to record what you see where and when. Overall brilliant. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-04-04* Brilliant app, now I can keep a digital log of all aircraft spotted in one place instead of paper logs that can be lost or chewed by my dogs 🐶, only downer is I would like to be able to search my sightings by registration as well as name but that might be my misuse. Oh and I find the app addictive 😉, well done guys. **Developer response:** On the sightings page press the “sort by name” and you can select how to sort the sightings. Choose Name, Date, Location name or Registration. ### 3/5 — Good, but... *2015-08-10* Complete aircraft listing, outstanding descriptions. Photos are VERY poor quality low resolution. I wood rather have a good diagram than these photos. Unless I'm missing something, there is only one per aircraft. ### 1/5 — Very deceiving *2015-07-23* Not worth the money. Its simply a low resolution collection of pictures with a few lines of comments. No manufacturers stats weight, measurement, etc ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-07-01* There was a slight flaw spotted, but the developer has submitted a revised version to apple. Excellent customer service and well worth the money. ### 1/5 — :( *2014-10-11, version 1.3.1* Since updating to iOS 8, the app crashes every time you select more than one filter. ## Frequently asked questions about Aircraft ID ### What is Aircraft ID?
