User reviews

Stuck on verification code screen

Would have liked to try the app but once I get to the screen where you put in your phone number to receive a verification code it just stops there. Click send code button and then nothing happens. Tried multiple times over many days and weeks incase it was a server problem and still the same issue. Might try again in the future but so far doesn’t seem worth the hassle.

Response from developer

Thank you for letting us know,it has been fixed.

Loving it.

Having a local contact saved my but.

Review

I like the concept a lot, cool logo, pretty good UI, a note however. Most of this data is one ForeFlight, while it does not have the option to message people, frequently the comments have adequate information to tell me what i need to know along with NOTAMs for any on field issues. If i really have an issue, airport managers are usually pretty good at picking up their phones. Therefore I’m not sure that I’ll be using the app much. That said, I like people trying building things in Avation so 5 stars.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feed back. A lot of general aviation airports have outdated or no information at all, some may not even have an FBO or manager so when things go wrong having a local contact can be a life saver. Les Vancil

Great idea

A must have for general aviation pilots. Well worth the minimal fee can’t wait to see the next update.

Cool idea!

It is a cool idea! I think there could be more interactive things in the app and it is kinda of bummer that messaging in the app is a paid feature. You would think for a social app you would be able to talk to others for free. Another cool feature would be a comment board for each airport for people to advertise, reach out for safety pilots, talk about FBOs or just chat in general. Good idea just needs a lot of work!

Response from developer

Thank you for the response. This is the first version and new features are being done now. Unfortunately it is very costly to develop an app. Funds are limited so the minimal fee allows me to add features. I would love to offer it for free but it is thousands of dollars to develop and thousands more to add features. I hope you enjoy the app and find it useful.
