### 5/5 — Great

*2017-12-22*

Altitude, heading , speed , vsi all work great ! Attitude has a little lag. 
But I’ve used this many times flying, it’s helped me get out or stay out of trouble.
Best part is it tells you nearest airfield and distance at bottom along with aero drone freq.
 Improvement of having more nearest airports would help. No lag on attitude. 
I fly ag planes and we don’t have attitude indicators or sometimes even turn n banks.
 So when the weather gets bad or marginal I pull this out.

Please updated it so I can use it on my new iPhone 7 please!!!

Super junky, not even close to a reliable back up in my plane. I'm not sure what the use of this app is.

### 4/5 — Good app, but GPS attitude and heading doesn't work

*2014-02-11*

This is a great app for any aviation lover. It keeps you entertained when fly commercial. You can see the exact speed, attitude, and altitude of your flight. However the app does not show heading and the "GPS attitude" option does not work. Overall, great app but could use some work.

*NEVER USE THIS APP AS A REPLACEMENT FOR AN AIRCRAFT'S BUILT IN NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEMS. NEVER USE THIS FOR NAVIGATION WHILE PILOTING AN AIRCRAFT*

### 4/5 — Need LARGER Displays

*2013-08-08*

As a minimum, the speed and altitude display numbers need to be larger.  Probably the heading could be larger, too.  Recommend having an option under settings to select.  Otherwise, a cool apt.

### 2/5 — Does not work for flight

*2013-02-15*

I wish I had checked other's reviews before buying. It does not work for flight. Too much vibration for the gyro I guess. I had my iphone Velcroed to the panel. Works while driving a car, but who need pitch/bank angle for driving? The free versions will do that.

### 1/5 — Dangerous

*2012-10-20*

This is a terrible and downright dangerous app.  It can't tell a bank from a slip or skid.  It also confuses acceleration and deceleration with pitch changes.  I'm quite sure that if you tried to depend on this as a back up attitude instrument you'd be dead within a couple of minutes.

GPSを受信しません。

### 1/5 — flight

*2011-11-21*

je l'ai essayé au sol comme en en vol, cela donne des indications farfelues. Cette application est dangereuse car elle faire perdre de l'attention.

### 2/5 — Flight instruments

*2011-10-22*

Needs to be updated. Airspeed and altitude windows on iphone are too small to see. Need to be twice as big.

### 3/5 — EFIS Display

*2011-08-22*

Bought this to try. Could be very good but the numbers do not work well. Speed lags and changes seriously. Slowing from 60 to 30 and it still shows 60 a minute later.

Altitude is also changing all the time and does not come near the Garmin GPS figures.

Figures for ASI and Altitude are too small to read unless right in front of you and could be made bigger.

If it worked better this would have been a 5 start application. I coudl not find a contact for the manuafacturer hence the detailed response.
