### 2/5 — Landscape only

*2026-06-08, version 9.75*

Unusual that an iPhone app is landscape only

### 3/5 — Sim

*2024-04-13*

For training purpose, should be great to set position and speed aircraft...

### 3/5 — Deleting

*2023-09-05*

This app seems like a work in progress to me.  Not yet ready for use while flying.

### 3/5 — Too much expensive

*2023-01-08*

Sorry

### 4/5 — Solid looking

*2022-08-02*

Been looking for something g like this for a while. Looks great with the exception of the tail of the needle. It should be a simple line so you can tell which radial you’re on.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2022-04-17*

I was hesitant at first but looking at the cost and weight of instruments I found this to be perfect for my ultralight I'm looking very forward to flying with this . I'm hoping you can add airport airfield info for us ultralight pilots . 
Thank you

### 5/5 — Wow

*2022-02-12*

Übersichtlich, komplett, man findet alles schnell, bin begeistert!

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2021-12-30*

No frills. Straight gps.  Would like sectional chart for mapping

### 5/5 — Better than Foreflight!

*2021-09-15*

I bought an Iphone for the sole purpose of having a backup device if my iPad failed. Unfortunately the Iphone doesn't have a directional gyro display so it is almost useless in an emergency situation. I'm glad I found this app so now if needed to divert etc it's a few buttons away. Thank you!

### 3/5 — Curvature is important

*2021-07-11*

I was using this app for years now and I think it is a quite good app and I like it, but recently I realised that the flight path and distance calculations are done without taking the Earth’s curvature into account which literally doubles the distance on long flights, and it is quite disappointing to say the least. I really hope that you can fix it. Other than that, it is excellent.

**Developer response:** This app uses loxodromic route calculation because it lets you fly with constant bearing between any two points. Of course, it is going to increase the distance of long routes, but this app was made mainly for GA pilots. That being said, due to the growing number of professional users, we are going to add the option to switch to orthodromic navigation in the future. Thank you for reinforcing the need of this feature with your feedback. --------------Response to previous review: Thank you for your feedback. The fixed altitude was caused by a bug and it was fixed a couple of days ago. If the 'restore my purchase' option does not work, there might be some problems with Apple's severs and they can not confirm your purchase. Could you please tell us if the problem still persist?

### 5/5 — Back up

*2021-05-30*

I wanted a simple to use backup to my Ifly in my RV3. This app is perfect for that and well worth the cost.

### 4/5 — Слабовато.

*2021-05-08*

Мало бесплатно доступных аэродромов.

### 2/5 — Necesita mejorar

*2021-04-19, version 9.29*

Especialmente para el precio que tiene.
Muy simple (no confundir simplicidad con sencillez de uso)

### 5/5 — Practicidad

*2021-03-12, version 9.27*

Sencillo y muy fácil de usar tanto en el celular como en la tablet

### 1/5 — Trash

*2024-10-25*

Bought the pro version. Usually needs plenty of minutes to connect. Last tries fully out of order. No connection no data. I dont get it. Where is the sense of such stuff ? Connection must be within seconds !!

### 1/5 — Muy confuso

*2024-08-30, version 9.62*

I cannot use the app during my flights!!!
I have GPS signal only on ground!!!

### 1/5 — not to use

*2020-02-03*

The free version is definitely not to use, the pro version too expensive

### 1/5 — Inutilisable depuis la mise à jour.

*2019-10-29*

Because « No more airport available in this Country, GET PRO ».
Avant, certes, il n’y en avait qu’un, mais maintenant plus du tout. Messieurs les développeurs : mauvais calcul.
————————
Réponse à la question du développeur : When I first downloaded the app, months ago, I could use one airport AT A TIME, but change for another one afterwards and I actually did it, zillion times (at home, for fun, there is no GPS in my iPad). Recently I had the bad idea to update the app and I have henceforth the first airport I chose (and this only one), for ever. Bad business of yours, miscalculation, in my respectful opinion.

**Developer response:** Dear Gaved22, 
thank you for your feedback. Could you please explicate the problem you experience? The free version only supports one airport per country. If you have upgraded the app to the pro version, then you should be able to add more airports. In case you did so, but still get the quoted message then you might need to restore your purchase. You can do it in the settings menu or by opening the purchase menu (by tapping the PRO button) and selecting the 'restore purchase' option which is supposed to be at the bottom of the screen. After this, you should no longer be prevented from adding airports and you can enjoy the full functionality of the app. However, if this was not the problem then please let us know how we can help you and contact us on support@flygo-aviation.com.

### 5/5 — Kesferner

### 5/5 — No documentation as to how use the thing, tried to figure out

How to set up a flight plan. I’m a 30 year pilot and could figure This app out.AirNav free LMJ

### 5/5 — Fabulous

*2023-08-26, version 9.54*

This app is amazing. Like having a glass cockpit in my J3 Cub.

### 5/5 — Awesome thanks

*2023-07-08*

Awesome thanks

### 5/5 — Appli pour iwatch

*2023-04-02*

Super appli pour les possibilités de rentrer les localisations de route base ou piste mais manque l’appli pour iwatch c’est bien dommage à quand ??

### 5/5 — A must have app

*2022-08-07*

This app is so good on my iPhone, but I just bought an iPad, & it’s even better (which I didn’t think possible).  Just try the lite version & you’ll see for yourself, & the full version isn’t going to break the bank 😁

### 5/5 — Excellent Navigation tool

*2022-06-29*

The simplest and the easiest navigation tool for all pilots recreational and commercial and private. Especially for emergencies to find closest airport with an incredible airport database. I recommend it for all aviators. Update I’ve used it for years and it keeps getting better!

### 5/5 — First Time user

*2022-05-15*

Found out the free trial only allows two waypoints. I did this as soon as I open the app just trying to understand the set up process. Now I cannot delete the waypoints. I never got a chance to fly with it. And I’m not going to pay the low subscription price without trying it first. I guess I’m done with it. It seems to have great potential. I will not sign up for the subscription without trying it first. 
Deleting app.
