E6b in your pocket
Great to have the analog capability, with the digital convenience. I have used this app for years and the only improvement that could be made would be to allow annotations on the front. This E6B makes it easy to calculate angle, gradient and feet per nautical mile with one twist and then lock the screen.

Non-Pro Version Better for larger screens
The non-pro version fits my iPhone 15 Pro Max screen nicely and zooms in an out effortlessly. The pro version does not zoom out enough so a portion of it is always cut off. Wonderful tool, but they need to fix this one major issue with the pro version before it is worth the purchase in my opinion.
Learn to use the E6B!
This is a great computerized version of the famous circular slide rule. Excellent help text. Refresh your memory and do calculations like your father and grandfather did.
Zoom. Problema mesmo na v. Pro
O zoom deveria ser dado através de uma barra deslizante com o dedo e não pinçando os dedos
No help tab on iPhone version of pro
Hi, the app looks to be good, but there is no help tab on the iPhone pro version, so I can’t see how to get pressure altitude. The results I get using this tool seem to be off, but perhaps I am not using it correctly, thus my reason for needing the help tab.
Excellent tool for CFI’s and ground instructors
Far better than using the giant E6-B classroom demonstrator- you can open this on your iPad and cast it to a large screen. Perfect- thank you for making this app!! CFII
Nicely done
Only 4 stars due to lack of crosswind computations when landing. I have been playing with a lot of practice problems and have been enjoying getting back into the E6B. That being said, I cannot seem to find the way to compute, crosswind, velocities and angles. Perhaps I’m doing it wrong or just not seeing it. I have compared the wind card to other low speed wind cards and crosswind data appears to be missing.
I like the app very much. If some color could be added similar to the ASA E6B or some of the circular E6Bs, that would definitely kick it up a notch and make using visually easier.
Nice job. I look forward to any improvements.

Feature
A reset feature would be great.
Not optimized for current iOS and iPadOS
This is a great app, but it has been neglected by the developer and on newer iPhones the top-notch in the screen obscures a part of the menu, and in iPadOS it does not allow for split-screen. Without the option to run in split-screen, it’s difficult when using it to solve problems that are also on your iPad screen, you have to switch back and fourth between the apps. It also desperately needs a night mode (inverted colors - ideally tied to the OS to automatically change)

Does not fit iPhone 11 or 11 Pro screen
The non-Pro version fits my screen nicely.
(With some unused screen top and bottom.)
The Pro version is too big for the iPhone 11 Pro screen. The computer hangs off the left and right edges and at the top. The Help button is almost completely obscured by the camera notch.
Zoom and pan work but zoom does not shrink to show the entire computer.
You need to resize the work space to fit the screen. I bet the problem is related to the missing advertisements.
Setting the wind vector is a little squirrelly. Sometimes I mess up the wind vector when I reach over to set the course dial. This is app is not ready for big thumbs. How about a double tap to lock/unlock the wind vector? (With an appropriate change of line color.)
I like how the wind vector is handled in the Sparkys E6B app. Two steps; dial in the wind direction, then set the speed. As soon as you set the speed, the wind direction is locked. Fat fingers can still mess up wind when setting the course.
The screen size mis-match is a deal breaker for the iPhone 11/11 Pro... Minor stuff. A really good effort on your part. Terrific graphics.
ADDITIONAL NOTE; A DAY LATER: I loaded the app on my very old iPad Mini. Interestingly the Pro version crashes but the regular version with advertisements runs nicely. (Still betting the issue is related to the adds.) Also discovered that my son’s iPhone 11 has the same screen size problem as my 11 Pro.
This really is a great app. Fix the size issue for the newer iPhones and I’ll bump you to 5 stars.
The aviation community needs this app. I hope you keep supporting it. I will be using the non-crashing version on my iPad mini to teach my son how to use his new E6B.

Perfectly simple.
Very well created. It’s simple and straight forward. No ads! Functional for both using and teaching with. I no longer have my handheld.
Great E6B
I love this app. One thing to adjust - for newer iPhones, there is a portion of the display of menus at top that get blocked by the notch for the top speaker: I use an iPhone XS Max. It would also be nice to be able to zoom out further so the entire e6b slide rule can be displayed. Otherwise, a handy app!!!!

Wo Hoo!!!
With iPad Landscape mode enabled, I can finally say goodbye to that tried-and-true metal monster lurking in my flight bag.
The best e6b out there ...

A real e6b
Finding unknown wind description is not correct. GS is missing.
Great App!
This is a great app and is recommended by a few instructors I know. Only thing I would add is possibly an add on for microlight pilots... they are affected by much lower wind speeds, so having a slide that goes from 0mph and up in 1mph increments would be a great feature! Possibly an in app purchase?!?

Very well done E6B
Once you get accustomed to using a classic manual e6b, it is hard to beat them in terms of speed and efficiency. This is a very well done emulation. I'm looking forward to demonstrating how to use this great tool online.
Wonderful flight computer
Very accurate flight computer. I use it for teaching in the classroom.
Would like to be able to draw colored lines on the various scales in order to show students sitting in the classroom how to line up the scales.
Otherwise, it works great and is accurate.

2 pontos a melhorar
1) Fazer versão para iPad, com tela horizontal (maior).
2) Fornecer opção de marcar um ponto no primeiro lado do computador.

Dimmed Volume
Liking the app. I enjoy my flying as a hobby. While studying for commercial rating on my iPad, thought this app would be handy for going through the practice problems and it is. Oddly though, the volume on my external speaker decreases when the app is used. Still airworthy in spite of that. Mahalo's!

Fácil de usar, nítido e imagem boa
Achei bem fácil de usar. Estou acompanhando um curso e as imagens do whiz wheel são nítidas, é fácil de dar zoom e há função para travar a roda.
Recomendo.
O único ponto a ser melhorado é o tamanho do aplicativo, mas ainda assim merece 5 estrelas.
