### 5/5 — NEVER fly a Bonanza without this app

*2022-05-27*

I can’t stress the title of this review more. I have flown Bonanzas for over 3 decades. Trying to calculate performance using the charts in the POH is difficult and highly error-prone. This app tailors the performance to your specific make/model/configuration. It automatically corrects and adjusts for conditions based on the most current METAR. The risk analysis feature is powerful. I never consider flying (even by myself) without consulting this app first. It is very user-friendly and easy to navigate. The color-coded performance information is very helpful. I’m shocked that this app is free.

**Developer response:** Thank for your 5-star review and the complements. The app is free and the source code is published to foster a community effort. Several Bonanza owners helped contribute to the app by digitizing and encoding the performance data.

### 5/5 — Champagne!!!

*2020-07-26*

The single (outside of ForeFlight) most important app a Bonanza pilot/owner should have!

### 5/5 — Great app!!

*2020-05-13*

Tons of information. Fantastic for planning!

### 5/5 — The Best Flight Planning App For Your Beechcraft

*2019-09-23*

This app is perfect and customizable in every way for your Beechcraft airplane. I have been using it for about three years and have all my frequent trips saved. Just make a few modifications for each flight for passenger and cargo weight, it calculates the weather conditions and the risk factor tool is invaluable. Thank you to the developer❗️

### 5/5 — STOP right now and get this app!

*2019-07-08*

I spent a few weeks using this app before writing a review.  I was pretty blown away how useful this app is.  I recently purchased a Bonanza and have a very difficult time reading the spaghetti charts in the aircraft’s POH to calculate performance.  After using this app my level of confidence has gone up dramatically.  The developer put a lot of time not just into designing the app from a functionality perspective, but also from a user experience perspective.  It is very easy to use and gives you a ton of information.  And, it is fun to use since the performance output is often in a visual or is color coded.  
Thank you so much for the work you have put into building this.

### 5/5 — One request

*2019-04-26*

Would be wonderful if the developer could have a print option to allow one to print a tare sheet or performance page that could be printed leaving the hanger.  Offering weights speeds etc much like we do in airline flying

**Developer response:** The app lets you email the main performance and W&B calculations. There's an "email" button on the Flight Performance page and the W&b page. Be sure to email your email address on the Setting page.

### 5/5 — Outstanding Program

*2019-03-12*

So nicely done.  I’m a ForeFlight user but this developer presents critical data in a very easy to use visual format.  

My only request...allow performance values to be edited for TAS, climb performance, fuel consumption, etc.  Some of us with old birds have added larger (i.e. IO-550) engines and three blade props that give us significantly greater performance than the stock Bonanza.

Keep up the great work!

**Developer response:** The app now supports a generic IO-550 upgrade for most Bonanza models that originally had an IO-520. Selecting this option on the Aircraft page, will use the G36 performance data where appropriate.

### 5/5 — Must have Beechcraft app

*2019-01-24*

The POH is complicated and long. 

This app provides accurate quick information for better plane management and trip planning

### 5/5 — Thank You!

*2018-12-31*

I just purchased my first airplane (I’ve rented for years).  I never thought that I would own a Bonanza, but here I am.  This app has proven to be a tremendous value in getting to know my aircraft, and an even bigger value as a safety resource.  My wife was nervous about the plane’s reputation as a “doctor killer”, but after showing her the resources available, especially this app.. (as well as...the Bonanza Society, CSOBeech, and BeechTalk) she is much more comfortable with the plane knowing that we have years of experience, wisdom, and support available just for the asking. Thank you Steve! The app is excellent and improving with each update.

### 5/5 — Fantastic app

*2018-08-18*

This is the most amazing app I have come across in a long, long time. Very user friendly and with lots of options and it will give you very detail information with lots and lots of data. For performance calculations look no more, this is the best app you will find anywhere else...
