### 5/5 — Good app no subscription!

*2026-08-04, version 1.4.5*

Love it

### 5/5 — Very easy to use and very fast

*2026-06-04, version 1.4.5*

The app works very well. No crashes. Very easy to look up information with the search functionality. Using this a lot in my CFI Ground school.

### 2/5 — Regs NOT Updated

*2026-05-27, version 1.4.5*

This app can get you in trouble.  There have not been any updates.

### 1/5 — App seems dead

*2025-12-17, version 1.4.5*

This was a fantastic app and I used it for years. However, it no longer updates and support seems nonexistent. RIP 🪦

### 1/5 — No longer updates

*2025-12-06, version 1.4.5*

The app no longer receives FAR/AIM updates. Called the number and emailed the company and no change.  Spoke with someone on the phone who said he would report the issue, and the next week the phone was disconnected.  I have t received FAR/AIM updates since Dec 2, 2024

### 5/5 — Perfect planning / inflight companion

*2025-12-01, version 1.4.5*

App works as advertised.  Accurate searches, clean interface, auto updates.

### 5/5 — The best FAR

*2025-11-30, version 1.4.5*

I tried several and this one was the best.

### 3/5 — Was the best… but having issues

*2025-08-25, version 1.4.5*

This was the only FAR / AIM app I would recommend a few years ago because of the ability to sync my bookmarks across multiple devices, the UX, and the responsiveness of the support team. Unfortunately things seem to have changed. The highlight feature is essentially broken. If you highlight something accidentally, it’s a coin toss as to whether or not you’ll be able to remove that highlight. I’ve emailed support, but they have not responded. I’m a bit concerned this is abandon-ware.

### 2/5 — Informative, but some app issues

*2025-07-17, version 1.4.5*

Formatting makes the regs very readable, and they’re always kept updated. Highlighting / bookmarking is a great feature for tabbing out your regs.

Only major issue is what seems to be a memory leak that is causing the app to freeze after it is used for just a few minutes. Unfortunately I’m considering other options as it makes it frustrating to teach my students the regulations from an app that keeps freezing.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-06-21, version 1.4.5*

No more bulky manuals
