### 3/5 — Not too great

*2025-07-23*

It’s free to download, but you have to pay for almost everything except for the electrical panel, which is extremely annoying. “In app purchases” means pay for everything in this case.

### 4/5 — Une version française

*2025-03-27*

C’est une appli très sympa pour découvrir une version française serait très appréciée. Je suis pas sûre que ce soit très compliqué ou alors laisser cliquer l’utilisateur sur le texte et avoir le fameux bouton traduire qui traduirais automatiquement ce qui sera encore beaucoup plus simple pour les développeurs.
En vous remerciant de cette amélioration qui serait génial. Merci beaucoup

**Developer response:** Thank you for the nice review! Unfortunately, even the official documents by the manufacturer are only in English. A French technical translation would be very hard and there is little demand for it since all commercial pilots need to speak English.

### 3/5 — Good, but need a littlr bit more info

*2022-10-28, version 1.43.0*

Please fix on IR, it should have FAULT,ALIGN. Not "off and fault"
Need more info on that. That is the first question on your checkride for 320.

### 2/5 — Forces me to get trial

*2022-09-14*

Well one day I was on the App Store looking for an a320 cockpit simulator. So I get the app. The second I open the app, it says “start trial”. So I read the disclaimer and find out that it’s an IN APP PURCHASE TO EVEN START THE TRIAL!!! So much for how you won’t charge me!!! It’s only for one day?!?!?! What kind of crap is this? Like, do you even GET any functionality when the trial ends?!

**Developer response:** The in app purchase was for $0 dollars. It even states "you will not be charged". In English. Most people can actually interpret that information. I guess it was easier to just slam the app than read. Why even 2 stars? I am sure you meant to do 1. You know. Flying a plane takes attention to detail. I have been doing it for 20+ years.

Thanks for your great review!

### 3/5 — Flows inaccurate for DAL

*2022-06-05, version 1.43.0*

Despite selecting DAL as my default airline in settings, the flows are in accurate. I would be glad to provide updated Flows.

### 4/5 — Mostly amazing

*2021-07-15*

I used this in training and it was tremendously helpful to have as an interactive button book. Recommended it to classmates and instructors. The flows study is useful, but the flows testing is frustrating. Flows are marked with a circle of fixed size, so to get a flow right you have to know where that circle is. Sometimes it’s tiny relative to the large size of a panel you’re checking, sometimes it’s twice the size of a switch. A resizeable rectangle with draggable corners would be so, so much more user friendly.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review. The tap areas are adjusted for finger size. That is, the recommended size that Apple suggests is used.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2021-06-11*

Helped a ton through initial and still helps with every recurrent. The only thing I would change is the zoom that occurs every time you press on a switch/knob/screen. I feel like I’m zooming out the whole time while trying to study a panel. The ETHOS A320 app doesn’t zoom and I keep going back to that app because of it.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the great review! The feature of zooming in out was requested a long time ago by many users. We will consider making that into a setting.

### 3/5 — Not worth the full purchase

*2020-11-04*

Basic mode should suffice. The ECAM pages are not available to read and look at.. at the same time.. with full purchase more is expected!

### 5/5 — Excellent App

*2020-07-29, version 1.42.2*

Using for upgrade. Very happy with it.

### 5/5 — Does the job

*2020-07-15, version 1.42.2*

Yes there are in app purchases. But still a helpful reminder of the functions of various pb. It does the job. Developer also responded quickly to a query I had.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2020-04-14*

Well done! Great app. Worth the money. I hope they keep updating it. No issues thus far

**Developer response:** We are planning to update the app for a long time to come. Thank you for the review and thank you for buying it!

### 5/5 — Best App to learn A320

*2019-12-06, version 1.41.1*

I’m a trainee on the A320 series and this app helps me a lot to learn all the pb and sw in the cockpit.

### 1/5 — Not really useful

*2024-08-18, version 1.53.1*

The app is only like a photo in which you can zoom in and out and have some descriptions if you buy this function. You can’t press any buttons or things. Workflows are only arrows with descriptions, but you can’t do anything, only to klick the next photo. AND you have only access to the elec panel in the free version! if you want to read the descriptions of any other things which are not in the electric panel, you have to buy it for 22,99€ (so you can see the descriptions of every other switch) or the fully version for 44,99€ to have workflows too 😳 Just for an image with some descriptions 😠 Don’t install it, it’s not an good app (if you don’t want to buy it for 45€).

### 1/5 — Very weak for the money

*2023-09-20*

Very weak for the money. For example, the System Display is capable of displaying more than one system, but now of them are displayed or selectable. So you cannot even get a basic systems summary. This weakness applies to all the displays.

### 1/5 — Just paid the full version and the services are not unlocked

*2023-08-03, version 1.51.0*

I paid the full access version yesterday and its still working as i free version.

### 1/5 — ???

*2022-09-25, version 1.43.0*

Why make an app free to download, then not let you use it unless you spend money in the app.

### 1/5 — Poor

*2022-01-11, version 1.43.0*

Very poor info about switches. Id expect more detailed information for $ app.

### 1/5 — Não vale a pena

*2020-07-22, version 1.42.2*

Comprei um item pago, simplesmente não funciona e não tem interação como prometido, só pegou meu dinheiro!

### 1/5 — Pathetic app

*2020-02-25*

Useless app. Keeps on asking for subscription.

**Developer response:** Not true!

You can play with the app for 24 hours for free. You can do everything you can like you had fully unlocked the app. After the 24 hours it will ask you to buy the level of access you need for a one time fee. Not a subscription!

This is all clearly stated in the App Store description as well as in many reminders within the app. If you do not not like to read warnings, flying airplanes will be really hard and dangerous. Please do not attempt that.

### 1/5 — Details are hard to follow

*2020-02-21*

The details for each button don’t follow standard indention practices for note taking and can be quite difficult at times to understand where a specific note or “if/and/or” is referencing.

**Developer response:** Have you ever seen the FCOM? It is following the indention practices exactly of that manual exactly. So please next time drop a one start review to Airbus directly.

### 1/5 — A320

*2019-07-17, version 1.40.6*

It’s not worth the amount of money they charge you for it.

### 1/5 — Tem que pagar pra usar

*2019-04-16, version 1.40.6*

Não consegui utilizar nenhuma funcionalidade do app sem ter que pagar. Como não paguei, não consegui nem ver a tela principal.
Me desculpem se avaliei de forma incorreta e se estou errado. Se estiver, me retratarei e altererarei a avaliação.

### 5/5 — Spirit file needs update for limits

*2026-03-28*

Spirit limits and flows not up to date for 2026.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your support and for the 5 stars! It really means a lot!

We publish updates regularly, though the last few have been specifically focused on releasing new cockpits. With the recent additions of the E170, CRJ200, and B737NG, the app has officially transitioned from a single-cockpit to a multi-cockpit experience. Next in line is the B75/76, likely in a few months, followed by the B737MAX, CRJ700, B777, B787, and A330.

Regarding app features, a major recent update introduced online flow sharing and searching. We will also be adding flashcards for all cockpits, which will be shareable and searchable online as well. Upcoming updates in the near future will improve the user interface, restore purchase functionality, and add native macOS support, to name a few. One major update I am aiming to squeeze in this year is a way to have AI automatically create flows to improve the overall flow-creation experience. Down the road, the A320 version should receive panel updates, such as the new radio tuning panel, though it will take some time to reach that stage as graphics work is a long process.

I would eventually love to include a systems overview PDF within the app for each airplane. However, creating those for every aircraft is a huge task. It would add great value to the app if I can eventually get around to doing it! No promises on that!

### 5/5 — Amazing!!!!

*2026-03-19*

Great App!!!  I love it, and I’ve been using it for years.  Curious to how often it’s updated?

### 5/5 — Love the App

*2026-02-21*

The app was helpful to learn and test my flows before and during training. Would highly recommend to others. Now I am going to the B737 and can’t wait till it is available.

**Developer response:** I really appreciate the 5 star review! The 737 is very close to be released. Hopefully just a few days from posting this. Please note: It will not come with any user flows. Those will need to be built by users.

### 5/5 — Extremely useful app

*2025-01-09*

I appreciate working with this app. It really helps me gaining knowledge of the A320. Great work. Great app.

### 5/5 — Highly recommend.

*2023-12-16*

I’m a 12 year Airbus captain and find this app very helpful for check ride preparation.

### 5/5 — One of the best App to study!

*2023-08-20, version 1.51.0*

Excellent, best app A320 systems!

### 5/5 — Amazing app helped me through ground school but please update fuel panel for 321!!

*2023-07-11*

Great app! Helped with training in ground school but please update fuel panel or allow option to update fuel panel and add more to the overhead panel like data link and maintained panel if possible. Thanks.

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review! When the majority of the planes flying will be the newer design, the app will be updated. At the moment, we have 3 different fuel layouts in use. The majority is still the classic layout, center tanks feeding directly to the engines. This is what the app represents. I work as a CA and a simulator instructor for a major US operator. We still use the old fuel panel as the base layout. One day... we will switch. Most users at this time still use the old layout.

### 5/5 — Very helpful, but needs some polishing !

*2022-06-01, version 1.43.0*

The app is quite pricey, but very helpful for studying flows for an A320 type rating. The UI could use some more polishing, it looks very basic and is not very user-friendly. It is quite confusing trying to navigate through the menus. Also you cannot revise a button/item location once selected, only the item text. An edit function for selecting an updated location should be added.
 
Minus 2* for the high price and the design flaws.

### 5/5 — Got me through initial

*2021-05-28*

Made the mistake and bought the other inferior app. This app is loaded with features that the other app doesn’t. This app got me through initial training and every recurrent. Don’t make the same mistake I did and just buy this one.

### 5/5 — Works well

*2020-12-19, version 1.42.4*

After reinstalled the last version, this app works well in ios 9.35
Great app & recommended for additional study.
