### 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.

### 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.

### 4/5 — Good but could be better with a Dark Mode!

*2024-09-29, version 1.4.5*

Love the App but it will be alot better with the option for a Dark Mode!

### 3/5 — Highlighting

*2024-08-28, version 1.4.5*

The app is great and it works for the most part. So far the only issue I have is the highlight function sometimes doesn’t work properly. There are a couple of regulations I have highlighted and now I can not un-highlight it or change the highlight color. This is very frustrating because I went with this app because of the highlighting function.

### 3/5 — Great ideas that has some bugs

*2024-08-14, version 1.4.5*

I enjoy using the app. Search feature and highlighting are really nice.
But sometimes the app will freeze.
Another thing is that when highlighting long sections after highlighting it will bring you back to the top of the section and you have to scroll back to where you left off.

### 2/5 — Keep crashing

*2024-02-05, version 1.4.4*

At first, I like this app but now with the recent update for the last update, they had it just keeps crashing and crashing and I’m thinking about deleting it and asking for a refund

### 2/5 — Needs annotation feature!!!!!

*2023-08-04, version 1.4.4*

Needs to be able to be annotated in margins

### 4/5 — Daily content updates

*2023-07-16*

Gotta love the daily content updates. Using this app is far more convenient than managing the FAA’s PDFs. This appears to be the official publications wrapped within an app, and any bookmarks & highlights we make are saved even when the content is updated. I’m happy with the app. Thank you!

### 2/5 — Super laggy

*2023-06-06, version 1.3.10*

Not sure why but this app lags whenever I scroll. It’s not due to wifi or my phone. Sad to see I spend about $9 on an app that doesn’t work properly

### 5/5 — Slow and freezes up

*2023-05-22, version 1.3.10*

Like many other noticed, this app used to work great, but over the last year it became unusable as it freezes all the time. 
Too bad as I have tons of bookmarks here and tried other apps none seem to have UI as simple as this one.

Developer of the app, please fix it for real.

### 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

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2025-05-05, version 1.4.5*

It keeps crashing lol

### 1/5 — Very delayed to no updates

AIM last update July 2023. We can do better!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money

*2024-02-06, version 1.4.4*

App consistently freezes and crashes.  
It worked great for 2 years, but it appears it is no longer being maintained.

### 1/5 — Current version glitching

*2024-02-06, version 1.4.4*

Recently app crashes when trying to open FAR table of contents on both iOS 17.3 and iPadOS 17.3

### 1/5 — Crashing issue

*2024-02-04, version 1.4.4*

I’ve used this app for about a year now and it always worked very well until this week. Every time I try to use the FAR it crashes. Really hoping this can get fixed soon as I have a check ride in like a week or 2 and need the app

### 1/5 — App Crashes

*2024-01-31, version 1.4.4*

Every time I go to look at the table of contents the app crashes. Ridiculous

### 1/5 — Lags a lot

*2023-04-19, version 1.3.10*

Used to be decent…needs an update.  Lags a lot now.  Also…
Highlight feature doesn’t work across two pages.  Highlight select feature needs some work, such as selecting previously highlighted text to cancel or adjust color.

### 1/5 — Unusable

*2023-04-12, version 1.3.10*

Lags so bad that it’s become unusable.

### 5/5 — Great customer service

*2023-08-21, version 1.4.4*

I give this app 5 Stars!  I couldn’t get the app to work so I call the customer service number found in the Home/About section at the bottom of the app. I left a message and received a call back immediately. The man who responded is the owner developer himself. He walked me through, reinstalling the app and some of the features. He said he would have his IT team look at potential issues and updates. 
Note that the call back came from an 800 number proceeded by “spam likely”. I answered the call anyway presuming it was coming from AviationMobileApps.com. I’m thrilled that I could talk to a person and that person wasn’t in another country.
