Future pilot

Since I downloaded the app give me a lot information for my home study helicopter private pilot….I will recommend for my friends ….thx

Weight and balance

Not sure why sometimes the weight and balance shows both the takeoff and landing weights and other times doesn’t. Landing weight is just as important as takeoff weight. Should be an update to include landing weight plot/table at all times. Otherwise super easy to use and connect to a compatible ADS-B device. Would also like to see ability to put in a VOR radial in the flight planner.

Very Difficult to Cancel

I have no particular issue with the app except that the developer makes it very difficult to cancel the subscription. I was a student pilot but due to a health issue I have had to give up flying lessons. So no further need for AA. If I go to the website and try to cancel it tells me to use the app. If I go to the iPad app there’s nothing that allows me to cancel. So now I will have to dispute (block) any further charges on the credit card, probably by closing the credit card number, which is a royal pain. Very poor business practice.

Do not get. Seems to be going downhill with support.

First, I am not a newby with EFB apps. I am a 8450 hour CFI. Former Feeder Airline Captain and 20+ year turbo prop charter pilot.
2nd. Aviator Assistant was a great app in the beginning and I got quick responses when reporting issues.
NOW, don’t seem to really care if you are having issues. Call their phone number, and it says mailbox is full and not accepting new messages. I have pointed this out several months ago. No change.
Seems the first fix they try is to uninstall the app, then re download it and reinstall it.
Flying ifr, all of a sudden the ifr chart disappears. Big problem. Approach plate overlays have no transparency and you cannot see the chart behind the plate.
Vfr charts get lost as well.
Couple years ago, I gave them a 4 star rating as they were really trying. Currently, I cannot do that.

Notice there are no current ratings!
They cant even keep their charts up to date!
Don’t get caught flying with outdated charts!

No Free Version Only Trial

App was great when it worked but after a few days they force you to pay a subscription. Plenty of other apps have the same info for free. Way overpriced too.

Good App but lately developers don’t respond like they used to.

Pointed out some issues to developers vis e-mail and trying to call. Not getting responses like we used to. They used to respond within a day or 2 but so fat it’s been over a week. No response.
Looking online, support is not as accessible as they were at one time. Beginning to wonder what is happening.
As a CFI I can not refer students to an app that support us hard to get to.

Download it! Try it! Enjoy it!

Have you tried Aviator Assistant—lately? Lots of upgrades and a GREAT intuitive feel. Stop spending a fortune with other companies that didn’t really earn your business. Aviator Assistant has become so awesome from actually listening to pilots, flight instructors, flight schools, and anyone that had valuable suggestions on what the general aviation industry needs. Have had Aviator Assistant for a couple of years now. You owe it to yourself to try it!

Finally! A solid cross-platform EFB app

Aviator Assistant is a top-notch aviation navigation app. It offers an impressive set of features, including flight plans, track recording, weather radar, ADS-B traffic, electronic logbook, VFR charts, and IFR capabilities (plus much more). What really sets it apart is its cross-platform compatibility, working seamlessly on Android and iPhone.

The developers behind Aviator Assistant are exceptional. I had the opportunity to meet them at Sun 'n' Fun, and they even invited me for lunch on a separate occasion. Their responsiveness and dedication is outstanding. They very quickly address issues and release updates with new features and bug fixes.

This is now my go-to app for all my aviation needs. It's a comprehensive solution that's affordable compared to others on the app stores. I highly recommend it to anyone needing a reliable and feature-rich EFB.

Battery hog

Took my iPhone battery from 95% to 25% in two hours while in the background. Several functions also freeze the iPhone. Not reliable.

Best EFB on the market

Great support team and very well proced

Good idea, terrible app

Like the title says - don’t waste your time or money on this garbage.

Fun at Sun n’ Fun!

Wow! Saw this EFB at Sun n’ Fun this past week. Got to meet the guys who made it happen and they were so helpful! I downloaded the 30 day trial and it’s only been 3 days, and i already subscribed. Worth every penny. I’ve been comparing it to other EFBs on the market and non are really comparable when it come to the product, the price and the support team. I emailed them and they walked me though all my questions. I can’t wait to see what they bring next to the already awesome app.

Crash

I’m a CFI. When I click “Take Photo” to submit my license, the app crashes.

Top Shelf App

The team behind this well thought out app has created a real winner, and provided the commercial and GA aviation community with another option when it comes to weather, winds aloft, airport info, and a host of other details. Their communication is first rate as well. If you’re flying for the $100 burger or simply looking to family in the old Piper, you can do worse, but you won’t do much better than having what truly has felt and behaved like an Aviator’s Assistant.

Awesome app for pilots

This app is amazing. Great maps, overlays, weather, and winds! Also very well priced for a subscription service! Going to enjoy using this while flying! Keep up the great work!
