### 1/5 — I WANT A REFUND

*2021-08-22*

😭😡🤬

### 2/5 — FSUtils

*2019-10-21, version 2.1.0*

Not sure about this app yet.  Not enough options to work with.  A lot of potential but i think it needs a lot more improvements.  example:  i set to Xplane11 -  hoping to see Cirrus Jet checklist and aircraft selection to file flight plan but that option is not available. I think a little bit pricey for what you get.

**Developer response:** Hey Al! Thanks for the feedback! Send me an email and let's see what we can do about that checklist!

### 4/5 — Neat little utility!

*2017-02-05*

A small but feature rich utility that works on my iPad and iPhone. Great for a quick searchable lookup of FSX, FSX-SE, P3D, X-Plane Keyboard commands without stopping your Sim and trawling through menus. The latest version even lets you edit the commands according to your FS use.

The checklist of default aircraft is very handy and leads you through every step of your flight.

A Google map of your flight plan with origin and destination along with an interpreted and updated METAR completes the visual experience. 

Highly recommended for novice flyers needing quick off-line references to command and flight data.

### 5/5 — A good Flightsim tool

*2017-01-21*

This a great little helper app for those just learning flight simulators, or those like me who can't remember obscure key commands.

They key commands section is displayed clearly, and helps greatly because you can search for items. For example searching 'pitot' brings up the relevant key command. A great feature that will be my first stop for obscure commands.

The checklist section is also very well laid out and is clickable to show that each action has been performed. It seems to cover most, or all of the default aircraft. Maybe other popular payware aircraft could be added in a paid for version. 

This at the moment is free - and very well done.

### 2.0.0 — 2018-12-06

Everybody say welcome to the biggest update ever!

For the last few months, even tough it appeared to slow down in features, what was actually happening is that I was rewriting most of the main UI.
So say so long to the old menu and say hello to the new and improved tabbed navigation. How it's a lot easier and faster to switch between the screens
all while persisting each screen state. I tell ya, it's a beauty.

Also, there are a lot of under the hood improvements bringing a faster and more reliable experience while still keeping all 100% of users crash free.
Other major changes include a more refined Key Mappings screen and a rewritten Flight Plan screen.

I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, make sure to send me a nice review.

Happy flights!
