### 3/5 — Fuel Stops

*2026-02-16, version 5.0.32*

The fuel stop feature is ok but could use improvement. First, it needs to allow for multiple stops; second, make selections, and then create a flight plan.

### 4/5 — Solid alternative

*2026-01-08, version 5.0.32*

As a ForeFlight user, I keep this app as a backup to my backup. Also, because ForeFlight does not support android, it’s pretty much the only choice with out another payware app.
It’s clunky compared to FF, but it’s free. I do wish there was support for Jep chart but as a backup to an iOS device running FF, it’s pretty amazing it’s free. Geo location and moving map alone is worth the hassle, importing the charts is a nice peace of mind. My only request, be nice if the markup worked better. It’s a little too involved if you are actually flying and fumbling with the interface to make actual readable note.

Others have compared it to FF, there no comparison, it is different and you’ll have to force yourself to use it to get comfortable flying with it. Thankfully it connects right up to xplane simulator so getting familiar can be done safe on the ground.

### 1/5 — Bugs

*2025-10-06, version 5.0.30*

Since garmin has taken this over, it seems like more bugs are coming up and not being fixed. and useful information that keeps pilots safe as being removed. Not really a surprise, but was hopeful.

### 2/5 — Switching from ForeFlight

*2025-08-14, version 5.0.30*

ForeFlight costs $250 and I don’t fly enough to justify the cost.  So I have been trying to switch to FltPlan Go for a couple of years.  But compared to ForeFlight, FltPlan Go is extremely cumbersome, and provides very little “current” instruction on how to use the app.  ForeFlight is a little expensive, but it is so simple to use.  No comparison.

### 3/5 — Worse on iOS than Android.

*2025-05-26, version 5.0.30*

The UI is slightly different between the two for who knows what reason. The iOS one has many crash to desktop bugs that are easy to repeat. The quality of shortcuts on Android do not exist on iOS. Really wish they would dedicate some time to fixing bugs.  Not very safe to try and change to an alternative and have the app just crash instead.

### 5/5 — Grateful this app exists

*2025-01-01, version 5.0.29*

I can’t speak to a lot of the more advanced features yet, but very thankful to be able to utilize the basic features for free - all the charts, geo referencing, diagrams, etc. all in one easy place. I do wish the annotation feature was a lot better (for example, you can draw on charts but you cannot erase each stroke, the entire screen must be cleared at once), however, I still appreciate the app and find it very useful.

### 4/5 — Good for Civil Air Patrol (CAP)

*2024-12-19, version 5.0.29*

I am not a current pilot.  I do flight planning as the “Mission Observer”.  I use FltPlan Go to tell the Pilot where to go.  I absolutely love that this software has ‘Way Point’ support and also has the CAP grid layer.

### 5/5 — Same Features but free

*2024-08-16, version 5.0.28*

This app is literally amazing! I was looking for a app like Foreflight and Navigraph but free. This app has all the same features but it is 100% free no subscription nothing! I use this app everytime I play Microsoft flight simulator, I love it!

### 4/5 — Good for free

*2024-06-26, version 5.0.28*

Sometimes buggy, but good for a free app. Make sure you have a backup navigation app.

### 1/5 — THX FOR UPDATE FOR NOTHING BUT MORE BAD

*2024-06-25, version 5.0.27*

After this new update, this app keeps crashing now, even I've tried to reinstall this app. Very good update, thanks for this 👍
