### 5/5 — Very helpfull app

*2025-07-11*

If developer decides to make an update, I will be happy to see some improvements.
1) Option to enter time from keypad instead of rotating "wheels" containing hours and minutes seems more convinient to me.
2) Concerning user database: I find entering coordinates (N, S, E, W prefixes) quite unconvinient, for me it is difficult to precisely type on those small letters.
3) Also when reviewing airfields from user database, I have noticed lag changing East longitude to the West one with the same numerical value. Thankfully, this lag appears only when I type on airfield in the list, it affects the display of airfield on the map and doesn't corrupt correct coordinates saved in the database.

In all other aspects - the great app, costs every spent shekel. Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great app, responsive developer

*2025-04-20*

I have used this app for years and I really appreciate how I am given the option to change the night flight criteria for different regulators. The app works really well and is easy to use. The airport database has never failed to provide a correct response.

What is most impressive though, is the responsiveness of the developer. I emailed recently with a small issue regarding the date field and within a week this has been rectified and pushed out to production. Thanks for the support and for a great app!

### 3/5 — Cant change date after new ios

*2024-07-24, version 1.5.3*

Cant change the date after ios version 17.5.1.
Need improvement

### 3/5 — User database

*2021-06-13, version 1.5.2*

All my user database is gone .. so pissed off. How can that be possible ?

### 5/5 — Great Little Night Time Calculator

*2021-03-29*

I used to use an online site to calculate night flight time for my logbook, but then I found this app. It does one thing, but it does it well. It is quick and easy to use, particularly since the time and date pickers were updated to calendar and keyboard. Calculated times appear sensible.

### 1/5 — Time zone

*2019-04-25*

This app dose not take care of the time zone in the calculation. Which makes it useless unless you are in the same time zone

### 5/5 — Отлично

*2018-10-13*

Простая и эффективная программа. Главное- не запутаться c UTC и Московским временем.

### 5/5 — MD80 Captain

*2014-08-01*

Great app!  Sunrise/sunset and twilight times are very accurate. Calculation of night flight time also appears to be very accurate. Easy data entry for calculations. If you are a pilot and looking for an app to calculate your night flight time based on out/in times, look no further.
