### 1/5 — Why not tell people the app is discontinued??

*2024-07-13*

Instead of disclosing in the app description or version information that this app is actually discontinued, they wait until you download it and then give you a message saying it’s not functional. This violates Apple guidelines.

### 1/5 — Worthless App

*2024-06-02*

This app eats up 6.4 GB of space on my iPad for nothing.  Downloaded all airport data and procedures so I can access them when outside of WiFi connection.  Only to find that the app will not allow you to view downloaded airports and info without internet connection.  ???????????
Makes absolutely no sense. Hope AOPA dues did not get wasted on the programming of this app.

### 1/5 — A redirect app in 2023???

*2023-08-28*

This app has very little inside it. Instead you’ll constantly be redirected to a web browser experience - which defeats the purpose of an app.   Redirects.  Duplicate log-ins.   Just painful.

### 2/5 — Ooops!  Something went wrong.

*2023-08-10*

Four years in, and this app is still unstable.  Pretty much the only reason to use it is for the pilot passport feature, which would be more fun if it were well designed.  Want to filter out places you’ve already been?  Good luck; it’s the *other* map interface, the sneakily hidden one.  Yes, there are two.  

Designed by and for septuagenarians; not terribly surprising GA is dying off.

### 1/5 — AOPA is a direct marketing company

*2022-07-10, version 2.6.0*

AOPA is simply a direct marketing company that has a captive audience of pilots.
Their main purpose is selling pilot's personal information to third parties.
25-50% of the spam, junk mail, and unsolicited phone calls you get, is directly related to your AOPA membership.
They don't care if you don't want to be barraged with junk mail, spam, and marketing calls. 
I was a member for 10 years and left due to their non-stop spamming and telemarketing calls from companies that AOPA sold my information to. Like the company founded by convicted felons (LifeLock) who purchased the AOPA membership list from AOPA in order to send junk mail, spam, and telemarketing calls.

### 1/5 — Dependent on Location Data

*2022-06-26, version 2.6.0*

The app is pretty useless unless you feed it location data.

### 2/5 — Not a Finished App

*2022-06-04, version 2.5.9*

The app is mostly a collection of links that opens their website. The airport map is useful and the search worked well for me once I downloaded the maps. To be clear I like AOPA and this app is new. I expect it will improve but for now it’s not quite there.

### 1/5 — Not ready for public use

*2022-05-14, version 2.5.9*

They either released this without testing or on accident. AOPA advertises the app in their magazine but very few things work. The airport directory seems cool, but pressing the search button does nothing. Just a blank map. AOPA needs to hire a real development team and test before releasing. It looks great but has zero functionality.

### 1/5 — Redirect redirect redirect

*2022-04-30, version 2.5.8*

Redirect redirect redirect

### 1/5 — User name or password incorrect

*2022-01-18, version 2.5.7*

Entered my username and password, all I get is a message stating that my username and password are incorrect. I checked and double checked, and it is correct.
