### 3/5 — 调mcp调不了

*2022-06-05*

一调mcp游戏内乱调，只能用键盘快捷调。

### 2/5 — Buena app pro creo que está abandonada

*2021-04-05, version 3.16.3*

He intentado contactar con soporte a través de la web y es imposible sale un mensaje de que ha habido un error y que contacte con soporte por lo que es imposible.

### 4/5 — Works great with flight simulator 2020

*2020-10-11, version 3.15.1*

I have 3 Saitek panels (radio, auto pilot and buttons) to work with my flight sim but this works even better. The iPad running AirTrack does not always seem to connect immediately to the flight sim computer running the plug-in so maybe that still needs some work (or maybe I need to do some more testing)

### 4/5 — Awesome flight sim app - but stopped working Prepar3d v4.3

*2018-08-31, version 3.10.4*

awesome flight sim app with functions that  are not available in other similar flight simulator apps. Very sad to see no longer works in Prepar3D V4.3 (v4.2 works) also works in Xplane  V11.  Hope that the developer updates this app to work in Prepar 3D V4.3 as many other users in the forums are also updating to v4.3 to resolve bugs and added features in Prepar3D

### 2/5 — It does not work

*2016-10-21, version 3.9.2*

It does not import the waypoints correctly from the fmc of the plane (a320 by jardesign) and does not import any waypoint of the plane fmc with the 777 worldliner with x plane.
Asking for help to the support email of the app, I received no answer... Even trying several times.

### 4/5 — Pagamento...

*2016-10-02, version 3.9.1*

Pela segunda vez, ao atualizar o app, sou tachado novamente.
Deve ter algo errado na Apple Store....

### 5/5 — Excellent app, excellent service!

*2016-08-03, version 3.9*

I use this all the time for simulating instrument flights on X-Plane and as a quick chart reference as I learn to read approach plates.  It does an excellent job for both of these.

Further, customer service is excellent!  Had a small issue with an in app purchase, contacted support and he dev got back to me in 5 minutes and had a fix in place by day's end (mileage may vary depending on devs schedule and difficulty of problem.). Great to see a dev really throwing himself into his app, really appreciated the fast, friendly service.

Bottom line, if you need a chart reference, especially for XPlane, this right here has got you covered!

### 1/5 — Not currently working

*2016-07-14, version 3.9*

This app is not currently working with X-Plane. It used to work great but no longer syncs with x-plane, and the company's website is down.

### 5/5 — Perfect flight sim app!

*2016-07-07, version 3.9*

Better than any of the saitek instrument panels--a great way to get a pfd off screen, and it vastly simplifies dealing with autopilot and radio comms.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2016-04-01, version 3.9*

What a great all inclusive app. Great support, and lots of regular updates. Can use on multiple iPads and iPhones at the same time. Buy this! It's worth it!

Don't believe that this app is non working. You must know your wireless setup, and understand how multicast works. Some access points don't support it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Not worth this amount of money

*2021-10-17, version 3.17*

Waste of my hard earned money. So many other apps out there that give similar functionality and cost a fraction of this.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work on Apple Computer

*2021-03-25, version 3.16.3*

It doesn’t see the flight plan on any aircraft whether it be X 
Plane stock or add on. Of course no refund with a purchase like this!

### 1/5 — How do I connect

*2020-03-31, version 3.14*

I have scoured the internet and I don’t know how to connect this app to fsx, no instructions anywhere

### 1/5 — Wants my location services?

*2019-03-07, version 3.12*

For some reason the app suddenly wanted my phones location for the FMC, the reason was to get my present position. THERE IS NO REASON for a flight sim FMC to need my real world position. Either the developer intends to allow people to use this as a a real world flight aid. or they are using my location data for something else. 

Either way I’ll be uninstalling the app.

### 1/5 — Crashes again again

*2017-09-15, version 3.9.4*

I can't use this app it crashes closes automatically

### 1/5 — Doesn't work anymore

*2017-03-17, version 3.9.3*

Crash on startup on iPad Mini 1 with iOS 9.3.5
Though it seems to fulfill the minimum reqs it doesn't work anymore

### 1/5 — Not operate

*2017-03-16, version 3.9.3*

It does not operate now. iPad mini cannot start it up after improving

### 1/5 — Will not open

*2017-03-14, version 3.9.3*

Updated app to ver 3.9.3 today on iPad os ver 9.3.5 and only a black screen for a second upon trying to launch. Help!

### 1/5 — non spendete

*2017-01-31, version 3.9.2*

questa app è fatta male non si capisce niente, non è fornita di tutti i way point  mappe aeroportuali che vengono menzionate nelle specifiche. I ve la sconsiglio.

### 1/5 — war toll, aber

*2016-10-10, version 3.9.1*

seit ende september 2016 funktioniert die app mit dem fsx nicht mehr - keine verbindung

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — X plane 11 perfect App

*2022-07-08, version 3.19.1*

Lo utilizo con Xplane 11 y funciona muy bien, se integra con facilidad con el simulador y con el FMC.

### 5/5 — Funktioniert auch mit Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020

*2020-10-02, version 3.15.1*

Geniale Funktionalität und sehr guter, netter Support. Für den MSFS2020 wird ein Tool von der Herstellerseite benötigt. Ja, der Preis ist etwas hoch, aber dafür bleibt es hoffentlich ohne in-App Kram!

### 5/5 — Five well deserved stars!

*2020-03-04, version 3.13*

Fantastic app. I use it all the time with X-Plane. Absolute must-have!

### 5/5 — Great Simple EFB

*2019-02-01, version 3.12*

Use this on Xplane, and for real life VFR flights. Simple to use, reads well on my IPhone, way more useful than FltPlan go.

### 5/5 — 模拟飞行必备

*2018-11-29*

针对模拟飞行全系列开发的仪表台软件。支持多个苹果设备。组合后即成为强大的飞行控制系统。相对稳定可靠。但不保证所有插件机或所有飞行模拟程序，不出现bug或小冲突。如果你玩模拟飞行，这个是必须买的。截止2018年底。

### 5/5 — Best add on app for fsx

*2018-10-23, version 3.11*

It is the best add on app for fsx I have ever used. You can change heading, speed, radio frequencies and others in seconds...

### 5/5 — Muy buena aplicación.

*2018-08-08, version 3.10.4*

EXCELENTE COMO FMC

### 5/5 — The best companion app for x-plane

*2018-05-15, version 3.10.4*

I'm a real pilot. This app really enhances the experience of flight simulation with x-plane.

Don't look at the cost and just buy this most essential companion app to your flight simulator.

### 5/5 — Superb

*2018-04-08, version 3.10.3*

This app is a true & loyal keeper for flight simulation lovers🤩. Please make the flightplan data input from the app to the actual sim gps possible for fs9!

### 5/5 — The best flightsim app

*2016-08-08, version 3.9*

This is a brilliant app for flight sim use. I am using this mostly with FSX steam edition - and it is the best app for flightsim use that I have tried. 

This converts the iPad into a multi-use glass cockpit display. You get display options including the primary instruments, navigation display, Flight plan. 

It also has a radio/nav display that is simply brilliant for changing those radio, nav, or transponder values. It takes me 3 or 4 seconds to change a nav or commas frequency with this - simply superb. 

It also has a similar page for autopilot - and is just as quick to enter headings, heights, and so on. 

This is an expensive app, but it works better than other instrument type apps I have tried. As well as the primary instrument and nav display - you could also use this to do the job, or replace the Saitek Radio panel, and the most of the functions of the Saitek multi panel. In most respect this is quicker and easier to use than those panels. So £25 is expensive, but to be fair there is a lot involved in this app. 

There is no lag that I see, and it so functional and offers something for every type of flying. Other apps offer a lot of this stuff in separate apps, that have to be switched over to operate. This has all those features in one seamless unit that switches using sofkeys at the bottom and side of the display - just like a MFD display in a real aircraft. 

There are other features I have not even mentioned. You could also display charts, flight plans, and operate your flight remotely with this app - but for me it's a really great glass cockpit display. It really makes the iPad an important part of your FSX or Xplane setup
