User reviews

Updated review

When I first got the app, I noticed a problem and contacted the developer. He responded and submitted a correction within 24 hours. Great app and developer.

Great app but needs to be updated

Great concept but for it's price, I think it's just fair that they update it constantly for performance improvement and compatibility with newer iOS versions and devices.

Very highly recommended

I purchased this app to use with the C172N. I'm a helicopter ATP and just recently added PPL-ASEL. This app makes flight planning so easy with its logical sequence of events and excellent user interface all in a polished look. It even provides the POH for those that aren't sure of the calculations. I felt very comfortable flying knowing that I had quickly and easily computed the aircraft performance and weight and balance. You can even save multiple tail numbers. I do wish there were + and - buttons for slide computations of weight, wind, and baro. I had some minor trouble getting it to rest on the exact weight I need. I hope this review does this wonderful app justice. I'll definitely be looking to buy the B429 version and E6B. Thank you, Dev!

Amazing!

This is one of the most useful and visually stunning apps I have on my ipad.

It allows you to calculate w&b and performance with incredible easy and is also very useful to manage "what if" scenarios. I wish they would develop one for the C208B as it would be an incredible tool to use in a professional environment.

I can't say enough about this app. Worth every penny in my opinion!

Piece of genius

It's easy to find a weight and balance app, but not one that covers every aspect of flight planning including take off and landing distances. My aircraft weights are slightly different to the 172M ones in the app, but they were easy to change. Bit pricey, but it is a piece of genius!
