### 3/5 — CFI assistant doesn’t live up to the hype

*2025-06-03, version 6.3.10*

I used this app during training and found it useful, so I upgraded to the version with the CFI assistant when I started instructing. The problem is that the grading is terrible. Doing a short field landing? The CFI assistant will dock the score because the approach speed was too low. Power-off 180? Descent rate too high. Finish a chandelle just above stall speed? CloudAhoy will give you a low score for being too slow. Bank angles and headings calculated by CloudAhoy are routinely different from what I observe in the plane.

The scoring just doesn’t line up with ACS standards or reality, and I will not be renewing unless they make some major improvements.

### 1/5 — This was a 5-star favourite of mine

*2025-05-26, version 6.3.10*

Recent updates have the app glitching and failing to load.
Worse still, my iPad mini will no longer playback 3D. It worked before, who messed up Apple's iPadOS, or CloudAhoy?
Please fix this.

### 4/5 — Information

*2022-03-05, version 6.3.2*

Greetings, how are you? I am curious about this APP, but I would like to know what the cost of the subscription is since the explanation says that it is free for 35 days and then you must pay, but if you do not specify the price, how can people know the cost of what is going down?

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2021-09-27, version 6.1.1*

Thanks!

### 5/5 — Great for flight debriefing and evaluation

*2021-03-12, version 5.093*

CloudAhoy is great. The best and most objective way to evaluate your flights and proficiency. I like the App a lot. I also use the web version when I really want to dive deep into data and customize my displays. I like that I can import data to CloudAhoy from glass cockpit or EFB.

### 1/5 — POS

*2020-03-06, version 5.06*

Unresponsive, incomprehensible, POS. Waste of time.

### 5/5 — Great tool for training, fun to share with passengers

*2020-01-26, version 5.06*

Used this a lot during my PPL training.  I still use it when taking people on fun scenic flights.  If they nerd out on aviation as much as I do I can share our flight with them and they can see exactly what we did.

### 5/5 — Unreal

*2019-10-21, version 5.06*

This app is incredibly underrated. I have used it in the past to debrief IFR students and sometimes just when I’m curious about my own flying performance.

Worth every cent 👍🏼

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2019-08-15, version 5.05*

Sheer genius. How can a app this good only have three reviews?

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-09-09, version 5.04*

I have used this app for every fight during my training and it has been very useful.
