### 1/5 — Outdated and difficult to use

*2024-01-28*

Really outdated. A sure way to aggravate your pilots. There are much better solutions on the market (Jepp, Comply 365, WSI, etc). It’s a shame the developers of this app couldn’t see into the future and modernize this app beyond the early 2000s.

Like the other reviews say, it’s obscenely difficult to view pdf documents as it doesn’t index searches, it’s clunky, the form filling function is tedious to use. There is no way to export to a third party PDF viewer like Acrobat (which Avdoc isn’t even in the same league).

The organization of documents is ridiculous, making finding documents difficult.

The acknowledgment section is difficult to use, resulting in low compliance from pilots.

The app frequently crashes, resulting in filled flight releases deleting themselves.

There is no function to autofill times across flight releases, a feature standard on ever other comparable software package. This makes for cumbersome, time consuming, and error prone time and fuel checks.

Uploads to the server frequently fail.

I’ve never seen a pilot happy with this software, I imagine the only reason management would enjoy it is the price must be out of this world. I have a hard time believing this software meets any sort of regulatory requirement.

### 1/5 — A curse on pilots

*2023-12-26*

Cannot auto-populate forms, takes multiple clicks to achieve a simple task, freezes, deletes FP during flight, menus not intuitive, doesn’t index searches therefore searches take minutes. Horrible. It’s super suspicious there are positive reviews on this app as everyone at our company despises this app.

### 4/5 — Aircraft Commander N458FX

*2019-10-02*

It’s awesome that it’s an all in one place to go to for information.

### 1/5 — .

*2017-11-28*

Very slow, has the right idea but app is very buggy and slow. Always has been.

### 3/5 — Can't email

*2013-08-25*

This is a great app, for aviation company's.  however I cannot sign and email pages like everyone else can.  Can you guys fix this bug.  I will give 5 stars if you do

**Developer response:** This bug was fixed in version 2.0

### 5/5 — Top notch app for professionals

*2012-02-18*

Nothing else works like this app. Period. 
It has fundamentally changed the way we run our large fleet of aircraft. Unbelievable service and support. Hats off to the folks at OBDS.  
If you are a professional pilot or flight department, you owe it to yourselves to give them a call. 
Keep up the great work!

### 5/5 — Long time coming

*2011-04-22*

I have been in extensive testing with this appliction for use on our fleet on Ipads.  I have found the product to be everything it is advertised and then some.  
It is fast, very simple to operate and has a very short learning curve.  
The management tools enable one to monitor and administer your data from just about any location you my find yourself using your PC, tablets, or other devices.  
This tool will enable us to operate at new level enabling our fleet to always have the most up to date documentation.
