### 5/5 — An excellent cross boarder companion

*2026-05-25, version 2025.0.1*

I have been using Flash Pass for the past 4 years.  It makes filing our Eapis a breeze - it also is a great place to store passenger and crew passports as well as aircraft information including the Decal number so it is at your finger tips when contacting CBP.  I have had few issues over the years, but the team at Flash Pass is always available when I have questions.  A must have.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2026-04-17, version 2025.0.1*

This app is amazing, I am using it as a private pilot. It’s easy to use and if you need support, Art is always there to help you. I recommand it ++++

### 5/5 — Captain

*2026-03-31, version 2025.0.1*

I truly appreciate how easy this app makes it for crossing international borders.    I am able to input passenger data with ease and confidence.  And any time I need help crossing a border, the team at FlashPass is always available with help and answers.   They have really simplified that part of my job for many years now.

### 5/5 — Simplicity is beauty

*2026-03-20, version 2025.0.1*

We have used this app for our occasional trips to the Bahamas with our Citation Jet. The APP works as advertised and it’s very easy to use. Previously I used flightplan.com. However, I now use ForeFlight, which was lacking the feature.

Great customer service. The owner of the app is an aviator himself. He is extremely responsive to any email questions and even phone calls.

### 5/5 — Best app for pilots needing eapis!

*2026-03-18, version 2025.0.1*

FlashPass makes eAPIS filing quick and effortless. Everything is streamlined, easy to enter, and reliable—no hiccups or delays. It does exactly what you need it to do without any frustration. And Mr. Art is amazing with his customer support—always responsive and helpful. Solid app.

### 5/5 — FlashPass is a 30-day FreePass to filing your eAPIS

*2026-03-17, version 2025.0.1*

The 30-day free trial got me hooked.

Goodbye to multiple tasks, and the time consuming efforts re-entering repeated data time after time in eApis.  FlashPass really does handle it for me. I like the Manifest history, crew entries, PAX entries and ability to pre-file several manifests/trips in advance  of travel days, the reply emails with airport reviews and completed C7, C7A, and the completed Bahamas Arrival Report I receive shortly after filing. They haven’t missed a single detail.

Co-founder, Art actually sends a text message with tips and links to a simple tutorial to get you started and also answers texts. He personally reviews and walks you through the first few filings.

FlashPass customer service is hands down-the best I’ve ever seen.  There are countless videos and tutorials for every aspect of the APP.  I am a HUGE fan of FlashPass and I am certain you will be too.  FlashPass! The only way to travel across borders.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2026-02-17, version 2025.0.1*

This is a great product easy to use on customer service is first class. Highly recommend recommended.

### 5/5 — Customs Made Easy

*2026-02-10, version 2025.0.1*

Hands down the best customs app/interface I’ve used. It saves aircraft, passengers, every manifest you submit, and notifies you when any of the associated data is outdated or expired. Quick, easy, and intuitive. 

Arturo, the owner, is also an incredible resource who is eager to help with anything you might need in the app.
