Great app for aviation enthusiasts

I appreciate how this app connects you with pilots of various experience levels. I meet pilots at the airport I train at and this app allows me to connect with them, further understand their backgrounds, and reach out. The app also allows you to connect and explore aircraft partners and partnership opportunities and to find qualified instructors.

Great idea, not so great execution.

In all candor, this app needs A LOT of work. For one, it’s mostly dead — not a lot of user activity. You quickly notice how unrefined it is simply navigating through the menus. Graphical clipping, small things like the inability to modify your name, and much more. I really hope this app isn’t abandoned because it a great service to the GA community, but as of right now, it’s in rough shape.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We appreciate your comments on specific areas. >MODIFY YOUR NAME: When downloading the app, it’s a condition of use to enter your legal first and last name because we want to keep spam out of the app. As part of our User Agreement and Privacy Policy, members agree to enter their legal name. For reference, links are available in the App Store to these agreements. If you need assistance in correcting an error with your name, we are always available to help. Please contact us at support@connectingaviators.com. True user identity is a community value and user requirement. >ACTIVITY: Improving the level of activity is strategically important to us and is the grail of any app. We encourage each pilot to get on the map, invite friends and make connections. Please note that member activities, such as pilot connections, messaging and iSorties are local or group-specific and not shared with the community at large. Building a vibrant community is an ongoing effort. We have marketing initiatives planned to help drive more awareness and adoption. >NAVIGATION: We have followed Apple’s Human Interface Guidelines (HIG) in the development of our app. The five key navigation areas (Home, Connections, iSorties, Messages, and Interactive Map) are persistently displayed in the bottom row for easy access. Our marketing roadmap includes plans for short instructional videos that provide an overview of the app and guidance on its key features. >GRAPHICAL CLIPPING: Our understanding of this term is that it refers to a glitch where part of a graphical element, e.g., image or icon are cut off or not rendered properly. QA checks for this issue are part of each software release. We’ve now allocated dev resources to assess where new instances of clipping may occur. Once specific examples are identified, we will implement fixes to ensure accurate display across all iPhone and iPad devices, regardless of screen size. >LONG-TERM COMMITMENT: In 2020, Connecting Aviators iOS development began and was first released in May 2021. Since then, the App Store has approved a dozen more releases with various new features and improvements. Detailed notes for each software version release are available in the App Store for Connecting Aviators under the heading “What’s New, Version History.” We remain committed to ongoing improvements to enhance our members’ experience. We appreciate you recognizing Connecting Aviators as a valuable service for the GA community. Our mission is connecting aviators, and we’re owned and operated in the USA by pilots for pilots.

Connect with local pilots.

Really great app for connecting with other pilots and partnerships. Very helpful in finding other folks to go flying with.

Enjoyable connections

This app has allowed me to not only keep in touch with what is going on at my home airport, but to meet new pilot friends. I have yet to reach out to pilots at different locales around the state, but certainly will if a flight takes me there. It has been an enjoyable experience to have such a tool in my digital flight bag.

Great way to meet and stay informed

I really enjoy the ability to follow, communicate and share my aviation experiences and see what others are doing in my area. This app is a key element in developing a community around aviation as a hobby or profession.

Great way to meet new folks!

I've only been using this app for a few months but the amount of people this app has brought together is amazing! It's easy to use, looks great, and is a joy to operate! I will definitely be using this app for the years to come!

Great app!

I’ve only been in the aviation world for a couple of years now and everyone knows how important and great the community is! I had moved to a new state not long ago and was looking for flight training, rentals, and just fellow aviators to network with. This app has all the information I was looking for!

Pilots version of Linked In

Great way to find like minded pilots at your home airport but even better way to find and connect with pilots in other areas. Especially like the ability to setup and find partnerships. This could be handy with costs of ownership escalating.

Great Idea

Terrific idea. Nice way to find and get to know fellow pilots in the area and around the country…especially if you’re looking for someone to partner with in an airplane!

What an amazing App!

I have been using Connecting Aviators for a few months now and it has been nothing but a positive experience! I was new to my local airport and the app has played an essential role in getting me introduced to like minded aviators! The app is very intuitive and a great place to find out more about your fellow pilots at your local airport. It is also a great place for finding aircraft partnerships if that is what you are interested in! Very impressed overall!

Great way to connect with pilot friends

Click on your airport and you will see all the pilots you might want to connect with. Great way to meet fellow aviators. And post airplane co-ownerships for free.

Unusable

After downloading and creating an account it asked for verification code sent to my email. Unable to type code into my phone. No matter what I did no keyboard came up. So I tried to log in on my iPad, and a message “user credentials wrong” came up.
I gave up and deleted it.

I've been using this for years

Response from developer

We apologize if you experienced an issue with the app. The Dev Team cannot reproduce this issue on other devices. You didn’t contact us for help but if you choose to, we can be reached at support@connectingaviators.com. Our app has been available for about 7 months, so your statement "I've been using this for years" is not correct.

Unusable

After signing up the app totally locked up. Can move past the splash screen.

We apologize for the issue you're having with the app. You'll need iOS version 13.0 or later. On Jan 21, 2022 we released Connecting Aviators version 2.0. Please delete the old app and download the new version. Additional help is available from support@connectingaviators.com.

Great platform

Amazing communication great grassroots platform for aviators hope it takes off to new levels would be wonderful to have a social platform for aviation only

Exciting concept

I just joined and haven’t much experience with the app yet. I am having trouble consistently renting an airplane that isn’t soon sold by the owner to a buyer at a distant airport. You might call me a serial renter. There are no flying clubs nearby. This concept seems very promising.
