## What is FAR/AIM?

The FAR/AIM in your pocket. This app was built specifically for pilots and aviation professionals. It is a one-stop reference for those who are involved with flying.

Updates? We do them frequently. About once per month for the regs and 2-3 times a year for the AIM and PC/G. You’ll be much more up-to-date than with the hard copies, which are typically updated only once per year. An in-app subscription grants access to ongoing content updates.

Other features:

• Free one-week trial for new users. Try it for yourself at no risk with no commitment.
• Complete text FAR/AIM, namely 14 CFR, Chapter 1 (FAR) and NTSB 830, and Aeronautical Information Manual (AIM), including charts and images.
• Lightning fast browsing.
• Intelligent search with full-text and header options.
• Context sensitive search (limit search to certain sections).
• Bookmarks and user highlights.
• Saved search term history.
• Email sections to friends.

### 4/5 — Bookmarks

*2026-06-11, version 9.700*

Needs to be larger for better viewing

### 2/5 — Changed their model

*2026-05-15*

I have used this app for years.  Like another review said, the price was reasonable, and then it’s been increasing unreasonably fast.  When it was reasonably priced, I would renew it, then it went up, I renew every other year.   

Now it’s gone up even more, but I can even use the old data that I paid for.  It’s like buying a book, you put it on the shelf and if you don’t pay a fee, they take the book away from you.  Give me my book back, lower the rates and you get some happier campers. 

2 stars because the app is really good.  They even incorporated one of my suggestions years ago about tabbing the sections and sub-sections.  For now, I guess I use eCFR for free,  but I do miss the app.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for the kind words about the app and for taking the time to leave a review.

I’m sorry to hear that pricing was the deciding factor. If you’re willing, please email me at neil@lawstack.com. We’d hate to see you go when you’ve otherwise enjoyed the app :/

### 4/5 — Baseline functionality

*2026-04-20, version 9.700*

This app provides the complete FAR/AIM if that is what you are looking for. What is missing is a good contextual search and something to show what has changed with each update.

### 2/5 — It would be ok but

*2026-04-15, version 9.700*

They keep sending me billing for yearly subscription and they got it already… twice.

### 4/5 — Highlighter

*2026-03-18, version 9.700*

Hey fools, give us the ability to delete a Highlight. Do it on the next update or bye-bye

### 2/5 — Updates

*2026-02-24, version 9.700*

I just downloaded this apps in hopes to use it for my upcoming check ride, and it says on the app that the version of the FAR is January 8th 2025, and today is February 24, 2026. I doesn’t update thus I can’t use it for my check ride. Very disappointed

### 1/5 — The subscription is not worth it

*2025-08-27, version 9.680.20210615*

1. More expensive than buying a new book every year. 2. These are free documents off FAA website. Wrapping them up with an annual subscription is an interesting business model.

### 2/5 — Poor Customer Service & Billing Practices

*2025-07-02*

I didn’t renew my subscription after continuous price increases. The company ended up charging my credit card TWICE within days after not renewing. Worse yet, the email link to contact customer service comes back as undeliverable. I ended up having to file a claim on my credit card to get the charges removed.

**Developer response:** Hi JCP, so sorry that this happened. Did you contact us? 
Please contact me at neil@lawstack.com and will refund the charge immediately.

### 1/5 — For Pilots studying

*2025-05-11, version 9.671.20210425*

Do not wast your money on these apps, I have purchased 3 and all their search functions are useless, the rudimentary search features will only provide exact matches at best and 9/10 times will not give you a revenant result. I have found it cheaper and better to download the AIM in PDF form from faa.gov and download the FAR in PDF form from govinfo.gov (you have to download all 5 volumes of Title 14 separately). Then upload them to a PDF viewer app such as goodnotes or Adobe (I like gooodnotes). The PDF viewer provides a much better search function and even ai assisted searches. I also keep my checklists and POH in goodnotes, you can use the apple pencil to check off items as you go. Hope this helps others pass their check rides.

### 5/5 — Quick Reference

*2025-04-17, version 9.671.20210425*

This is amazing.  Quick reference.  Just a few clicks and I have the FAA wording right at my fingertips.
