### 4/5 — Good quick reference for Airport codes

*2024-10-04, version 3.0.2*

I use it for just a quick reference.  Every now and then I’ll find an outdated or missing code.  For example Kuwait, OKBK vs OKKK.

### 4/5 — UigGf I’mm hur us us

*2023-07-18, version 3.0.2*

I’mq I’llymm m mummmm m yu

### 3/5 — Gut aber ausbaufähig

*2023-06-23, version 3.0.2*

Schön übersichtlich und simpel gehalten. Find ich gut. Aber es fehlen einige Codes. Es müsste die Funktion geben, diese manuell einzutragen und abzuspeichern!!!

### 3/5 — Upgrade!!!!

*2015-09-30, version 1.2*

Aggiornate!!!!

### 2/5 — airport codes

*2011-03-07, version 1.2*

non male !!!

### 4/5 — Un très bon départ

*2011-01-06, version 1.2*

Excellent pour décoder les codes d'un terrain. Maintenant il serait très attendu d'y ajouter les infos minimales des terrains : les pistes, l'atis, et un petit plan d'ensemble. Oui je sais c'est sans fin !!!

### 3/5 — Nice app but missing many GA airports

*2010-09-30, version 0*

The app runs great but many airports are missing, including airports with all letters in their identifiers.

### 2/5 — Ok for a start but needs much much more!!

*2010-05-29, version 0*

This will be usefull app for me as an airline pilot as I regularly fly past less know airports wondering which they are. It is tho incredibly basic. At the very least you should be able to select an airfield and view the most basic of details eg runways, runway lengths etc. The developer has been lazy by simply uploading a directory of airfields into an app without adding any extra functionality. This will remain a two star until it's updated with more!!

### 4/5 — Good for world travel, so-so for GA use.

*2010-03-26, version 0*

This has airports that are pretty remote but it doesn't seem to have the 'State' airports that are designated by alphanumeric codes (I.e. S59).

It does seem pretty good for traveling to airports served by commercial carriers.

It's worth it!

### 3/5 — Ganz okay

*2010-03-01, version 0*

Wär gut wenn auch kleinere Flugplätze drauf wären wie (EDQH Herzogenaurach). Was echt schlecht ist ist das auch so große Flugplätze wie schoenhagen nicht drauf sind )))=.

### 1/5 — Only the big airports

*2025-07-25, version 3.0.2*

This app doesn’t have the small airports in it that US private pilot might use. Why? It should be easy to load them too.

### 1/5 — No updates

*2024-02-06, version 3.0.2*

The last for this app was 3 years ago and a lot of airport codes have changed. They need to support the app with updates from time to time, until then it gets 1 star.

### 1/5 — No data about airport

*2021-09-18*

the search bar will give result of the airport with airport code and city. Can't click on this airport to get data. app is therefore useless. can't get the country, runway length, altitude, direction, timezone.. nothing!!

### 1/5 — No god

*2016-08-08, version 1.2*

Down loaded app nothing happened, does not work!

### 1/5 — Take care

*2014-10-20*

Freezes on my iPhone 6

### 1/5 — iOS 7 support?

*2013-12-11, version 1.2*

Keyboard not working for me. Please update app for iPhone 5 screen and ios7

### 1/5 — Missing things

*2011-01-05, version 1.2*

This app has many of the common airports but almost none of the small general aviation airports. I would have gotten 4-5 stars if it had those.

### 2/5 — Not all listed airports

*2025-06-07, version 3.0.2*

Great for major airports but many smaller airports are not listed.

### 2/5 — Could be Better

*2020-10-19, version 3.0*

While this app does as advertised, it could offer more like other similar apps.  For one thing, you cannot search by country.  Once it finds the airport it offers no other information about the airport like runway lengths, distance from nearest large city, etc

### 2/5 — Schade, hatte mehr erwartet.

*2011-03-26, version 1.2*

It's a waiste of time and money

### 5/5 — Great Airport code resource

*2020-05-09, version 3.0*

I use this app constantly but the current release does not size to the iPhone screen properly, it’s display is larger than screen size. 
iPhone 8 with 13.4.1

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2019-11-24, version 3.0*

I’m a Pilot flying primarily int’l routes. This app is always up to date with even the most out of the way places. It’s a tool I use often and quite frankly would hate to be without it. 
A+++

### 5/5 — Excellent reference!

*2014-07-06, version 1.2*

This app shows the 3- and 4-letter airport codes as well as the common name for the airport.  No internet connection is needed, so as I'm flying along looking at the airport codes on my cockpit display, I can quickly pull up the name using this app.  Works great! I'd love to be able to mark an airport as a Favorite and then input some personal notes about it.  I'm running iOS 7.1.2 on an iPhone 4S.

### 5/5 — Simple reference

*2014-01-20, version 1.2*

I'm an airline pilot flying across the country and often wonder what airports are showing (the four letter codes) on my primary flight display.  

This app requires no internet connection and quickly shows the full name and city for the airport code.  Exactly what I was looking for.

### 5/5 — Useful App

*2011-11-30, version 1.2*

I'm flight attandant and this app very useful for my work, when ever i have new destination i search it here....

### 5/5 — Great App

*2011-10-23, version 1.2*

I am an intl. inspector and this is a handy tool to have.

### 5/5 — Easy and fast

*2010-07-27, version 0*

Nice simple way to find any airport code.  Search UI is very responsive and nice that it works when no wifi is available.

### 5/5 — Very useful app

*2010-02-13, version 0*

Thanks
