### 1/5 — Fake app

*2023-02-28*

This app does not work at all don’t waste your money

### 1/5 — Not working at all please stop this app apple

*2022-03-11*

I need my money back

### 1/5 — Virtually worthless

*2019-05-11*

In my opinion, this app is not user-friendly and does not do what you would expect it to do. In my case I had a blank grid during my flight, and there was no record that I had used the app (or tried to) during an actual flight. Waste of $3.

### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2019-04-25*

It didn’t work as described lost gps signal after take off big disappointment and lost of money

### 1/5 — Waste of time an $

*2017-05-31*

Does not work

**Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback.

I should point out that the App Includes a small guide on how to get GPS signal inside the airplane, and also how you should use it before takeoff, when you still have internet access to cache all the map tiles. 

We've done countless flights and what seems to work best is:
1) Either a window seat or the one next to it.
2) When you don't see the GPS indicator (That's a small arrow on the right side) on the iPhone status bar, turn on Bluetooth or Wi-fi if possible (You don't need to connect to any inflight Wi-fi network)
3) Sometimes, waiting several minutes is required to get a signal, then it works without issues.

I hope this helps you get a better experience next time.

Cheers,

### 4/5 — Interesting.

*2025-11-28*

Airport search works both way. It’s a bonus. However the window pop up 2 lines. 1 in bold font and the other regular font.  I am naive to their exact meaning.

### 4/5 — App works fine

*2025-03-02*

This app works fine. I just used it on several flights from a window seat and from a middle seat. I used it while both an iPhone 13 Pro and IPad Mini were attached to a Garmin GPS. 

My iPad does not have an internal GPS. The external Garmin GPS worked flawlessly. 

My iPhone does have an internal GPS. It was able to synch to satellites on the internal GPS but lost a signal twice in the air. Holding my phone to the window allowed it to reconnect.

Using the external Garmin GPS never lost the signal during any of the flights. 

Accuracy of the map data wasn’t great because the displayed flight path on both devices on all flights was off by about a half mile - not bad for entertainment purposes but horrible for aviation purposes. Look, you’d be a fool to use this or any similar app for true aviation purposes. For the record, I am a Commercially-rated non-ATP pilot with over 2500 hours. 

The enroute time and countdown to arrival was off as the app routinely displayed arrival and overflight of the airport even though we were still on final approach to the runway. 

GPS positioning is supposed to be accurate to a lower distance range than this app shows but the app doesn’t deserve the “doesn’t work” criticism that it has received. 

Was is worth $5?  If you’re expecting to be able to navigate using this app, no. Just don’t. 

If you’re using it for entertainment purposes of flights that don’t offer a moving map, then yes. The app was well worth the $5 one-time cost of admission.

### 4/5 — Does as Advertised

*2018-07-24*

Tracks where you went, and saves it, which is pretty much what I got it for.  It would be cool if it would show your vertical and speed profiles though.

### 5/5 — Great little app!

*2017-04-18*

I have been using this for well over a year and have flown quite a few times. I always book a window seat anyway which helps with this app, but it may work well regardless.
Be sure to remember to open it up whilst you have a signal/wifi, log in your destination and away you go. There is sometimes a slight time lag in flight but overall it works well and tells you what you can see beneath. Very useful and simple to use. Nice one!

### 5/5 — Worked like a charm!!

*2016-04-28*

... at all but the highest altitude. That's a GPS / iPhone thing but the dev nailed it!

Suggestion: maybe tweak flight path prediction to be a little more natural.
