Flight planning should be done in the app and not on the website. It’s time you moved into the 21st century. I’m trying to get the company to move over to ForeFlight which is much easier and more user friendly. ### 1/5 — Needs in app flight planning *2021-10-23* Flight planning and filing takes soooo long to do with ARINC. I wish they would catch up with the others. I can plan a flight and file a flight plan in ForeFlight in a matter of a few minutes. With ARINC, the same process takes more than 20 minutes! Even with the fast Internet service, the screen refresh speeds are incredibly slow. You have to keep clicking on different buttons to update the flight plan. Other apps automatically update the flight plan when changes are made in just a second or two. It is not user-friendly at all. The route planning and selection is horrible. Sometime it files a different cruise altitude than I requested. And then all their services cost so much more than other apps. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2021-05-11* The app running on iPad 2 or 4 requires significantly long WiFi connections every single day to keep everything current. I devote 10-15 minutes every single morning on the road updating the app. It seems to attempt to buffer downloads but cannot be trusted to do so as it chokes itself to a standstill while attempting to download multiple files at a time. Managing the downloads manually is not only absurdly time-consuming but not not easy as the app defaults back to its “auto” mode. If it were not for APG running inside the app, I would not use it at all. ### 1/5 — App won’t launch after update. *2019-12-29* Great, after they demand we update the app it will no longer open on the iPad. ### 1/5 — Interface update made this already slow app slower *2017-11-27* Recent cosmetic update to interface seems to have made this app much slower, and a lot of the time it will not download new or updated flight plans. Basically useless in present condition. ### 1/5 — Glitchy update *2017-11-14* Newest update won’t download a filed flight plan I filed an ARINC Direct website. My Documents won’t complete its download either. ### 1/5 — In app flight planning *2017-11-09* This is just an antiquated reader. Where is in app flight planning? All your competition has it. Do better. ### 1/5 — 5.01 always crashes *2011-11-22* Arinc app was starting to get there, but still needs a lot to go. Not bad if your airplane has wifi for quick updates but since 5.01 app does not work. Always crashes. Needs update! ### 2/5 — Crashes too often *2011-11-13* Nice program. I wish it would stop crashing! ### 3/5 — Arinc Direct *2011-12-10* Crash,crash,crash. Very nice App, but huge problem with stability. Can't trust it as it constantly crashes. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing Product *2021-02-08* This app has just about everything you need! ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2020-08-28* This app keeps getting better and better. Thanks for the third party flight plan support for NAT crossings. ### 5/5 — Great app *2020-02-12* I noticed the reviews are extremely dated....truth is a lot of improvements have occurred and continue to occur. Nice organized lay out...easy to read. In app flight planning would be nice and would reduce flight planning workload. ### 5/5 — Best Professional Pilot App on the market by far *2012-11-02* Better than everything else I've tried! ### 4/5 — Needs just a little improvement *2015-12-15* Enjoy using this app but would like to see improvement in 2 areas. First it needs a night time mode. Screen is to bright at night. Secondly I wish that there was away to organize the approach plates so that after you have book marked the plates you like you could then just swipe through them instead of having to close out one and re open another. Other than that nice product ### 4/5 — New App Crashes *2014-10-16* Have he two terminal crashes since latest update. Need to delete and reinstall each time. ### 4/5 — Pilot *2013-01-23* One of the best apps for aviation out the, however you need to be an Arinc customer to utilize this program. ### 4/5 — TAF Times *2012-09-05* Great product, but I thought TAF times were going to be displayed in local times under decode prr one of your program updates. No joy so far. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
