Fuel Stops
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.
Solid alternative
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.

Bugs
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.
Switching from ForeFlight
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.

Worse on iOS than Android.
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.

Grateful this app exists
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.

Good for Civil Air Patrol (CAP)
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.
Same Features but free
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!
Good for free
Sometimes buggy, but good for a free app. Make sure you have a backup navigation app.
THX FOR UPDATE FOR NOTHING BUT MORE BAD
After this new update, this app keeps crashing now, even I've tried to reinstall this app. Very good update, thanks for this 👍
Was good
This app was good until today. Keeps crashing and will not let me download maps or procedures. Looking to switch to a different app
Latest update broke the app
I’ve got an iPad mini 6 and app worked fine before the update. Post update, the app crashes seconds after opening, even after multiple restarts and a redownload.
Love the app .. what happened?
Ive been using FltPlanGo for years. I love the app, it does everything I need. I love the connection to FltPlan.com to download the plan.
I just updated fltplan go on my iPad Mini 6th generation, iOS 17.4.1. And now, the app crashes within 2-3 seconds of launch.

Don’t bother with this one.
App crashes as soon as you attempt to open it (I should have taken the previous reviews more seriously). Horrible app.
Missing all SUA info
Among other issues like random crashing after a long-press, adding points to a route, viewing Binders, etc. This ap has no means at all to view any information about SPECIAL USE AIRSPACE! Want to know a MOA altitude? Go get a paper chart. Restricted Airspace activation times? Call the controlling agency. To boot the online manuals haven’t been updated since 2014, showing multiple features and options that no longer exist. Typical Garmin abandonware.

Best FREE efb
Whatever minor complaints I have are overshadowed by the fact this is completely free. Yes Foreflight has about 10-20% more features than this, but I’d need the performance plan to beat this. I don’t know if this is still being actively supported, but I hope so because it’s an awesome app to use.
Great but HUGE BATTERY CONSUMPTION
Honestly can’t complain because it provides EVERYTHING for FREE but the battery consumption is too much! Even when it is in the background it drains battery like anything! I don’t mind upgrading to Foreflight at a later stage in my career but for now I’d really like to be able to continue using it without worrying about my iPad dying before a long multi-stop XC flight is concluded.
The UI also tends to be jittery especially on the home page where it basically shows a snippet of the FltPlango website.

Too good to be free
Too good for an free app thanks
Features keep being removed from the app.
It seems every release gets worse not better. State outlines don’t seem to work now. I really liked having the sua overlay. Unfortunately it was removed from the app and is only available from the webpage. Would like to see it the same features on the webpage integrated back into the app.
Breadcrumbs keep failing to upload
Hello there, just running into some issues where I’m unable to upload locally saved breadcrumbs to FltPlan go. Keeps saying the same message in red bubble, failed to upload.
