User reviews

Looking forward in using it.

I have yet to use it, but I’ve been practicing with it, I.e. visualizing the steps with my Prepar 3D simulator and ForeFlight. It would be great if it worked with simulators like ForeFlight in order to practice, but we will see if that is even possible.

Response from developer

I’ll be working on integrating it with simulators in a future update. Thanks for the review!

Best 5$ I’ve ever spent

Only way this app could be more helpful is if it pulled the Baro directly from ForeFlight. ForeFlight should buy this code and integrate it. Brilliant

App of the year

$5k for altitude alerter in my twin Cessna or $5.99. No brainer!! Only used on one flight so far but worked as advertised. Beautifully designed app. Would like to see the option to turn on/off individual callouts and maybe add callouts like “one to go” plus the chime for altitude alert. Should be nominated for app of the year. Prefect integration to ForeFlight. Also, a very thorough and well written manual.

Response from developer

Thanks so much for your feedback. I’ll absolutely look at integrating your suggestions in a future update.

Must have

Love this app. Use it with ForeFlight for altitude warnings and landing gear warnings. Wish I found it sooner.
