### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-07-30*

I got this app and all i got were three screens to scroll through that included one incident and the only other thing to do was by premium which im not doing this app deserves the one star rating it has… dont buy

### 3/5 — App is free, but it’s $9.99 per year.

*2020-11-08*

App is free, but it’s $9.99 a year to subscribe. So beware that may not be for you, when nearly all this same info can be found on the web with some research.

**Developer response:** Thanks for taking the time to write a review! To clarify, the app has a 7-day free trial, after which it costs $9.99 per year. It has an easy-to-use full-text search function of NTSB and international accident report data, notifications when new reports are published and a view optimized for the iPhone/iPad, none of which can be found elsewhere. If you'd like to give the app another try, please let me know via email to support@accidents.app, I'd be happy to set up an extended trial for you.

### 1/5 — App is unusable

*2020-04-10*

App continuously crashes. Can never use it.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback. A new version has just been released which fixes the bug that prevents the app from launching in certain configurations on old iOS versions. Could you please update the app and try again? If you have any questions, please contact me at support@accidents.app, I'd be happy to help.

### 5/5 — A “Must Have” App for Serious Avgeeks!

*2020-03-25*

As host of the Airline Pilot Guy Aviation Podcast, access to aviation incidents/accidents through a straight-forward app like this is essential. Thank you, Miklos!
