### 5/5 — An excellent, simple to use App

*2017-06-27, version 2.76*

I have tried various Apps to compliment/replace the good old whizz wheel rotary slide rule and this is the one that does it all and more. As a recreational Pilot, it does everything you need and in the days of sophisticated GPS based navigation apps, it is very handy to have a device that you can use to quickly calculate any one of numerous different scenarios. Well worth getting.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2017-01-17, version 2.75*

As a Boeing 737 TRE, I find this app very useful as an instructional aid. There's all the usual E6B functions, plus more that are useful to the commercial aviation environment. Highly recommended and worth the money!

### 5/5 — Peter E. Ward, FO, Air Canada A320

*2016-02-14, version 2.71*

I've been using this product for many years...It's excellent!

### 5/5 — Le meilleur de sa catégorie

*2015-05-30, version 2.63*

J'en ai essayé plusieurs et celui-ci est le meilleur et le plus complet.

### 5/5 — A must have for the professional pilot

*2015-04-12, version 2.63*

This is the last E6B app you will ever need.  I recently downloaded this app and I am very impressed with its functions.  It has all of the tools and calculations you could use for any pilot. The layout is very user friendly.  This is a must have app for any professional pilot. Great for iPhone or iPad !!!

### 5/5 — Fantastic FlyBy E6B

*2015-04-11, version 2.63*

This is my second review of this app and I feel even stronger about it then when I first purchased it in 2011. FlyBy E6B is simply the best aviation app on my iPhone and iPad. Even with all the technology available to me as an airline pilot I still turn to it on a daily basis calculate descents, temperature corrections, male and female breakdown calculations, various conversions, wind components, runway friction numbers, fuel times for holds and I even use it to add up the log book at the end of the day. It is deceptively simple and easy to use. With the ability to save my most used calculations and features to the favorites page there is no need to hunt for the features that I use most because it is all on one app and in one place. In my experience the developer is very open to new ideas. I have made a couple of requests over the years and have found them added to later updates so it has consistently gotten even better over time. This app is well done and immensely useful. I recommend it to any pilot, regardless of whether they are a recreational or a professional pilot.

### 5/5 — Very Useful

*2015-04-06, version 2.61*

This is such a great app and keeps getting better.  The functionality is top notch and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-03-21, version 2.61*

I love this app. Very helpful to a pilot. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Best of the best

*2015-03-01, version 2.61*

I've used this app for years, since it was on PalmOS - who remembers those times?!

This app is always improving. It's worth your time and money.

### 5/5 — This is the one!

*2015-02-13, version 2.60*

I use this every time I fly.. Either in 777 , Bonanza or R44.  Has all the functions you could want easy to use... all you need in one app! Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great Aviation App!

*2015-01-12, version 2.60*

I highly recommend this app for any professional pilot or aviation department. It's very easy to and does a lot! I use it all the time to calculate fuel uplift, logbook times, cold weather altitude corrections, etc.

### 5/5 — Functional

*2015-01-05, version 2.60*

Use it every day and find it very handy. Always discovering neat features. Definitely recommend for any pilot.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2014-12-31, version 2.60*

Great app for all categories of pilots.

### 5/5 — Saves my bacon daily.

*2014-12-31, version 2.60*

Great app that utilizes some awesome features. Logbook errors went to nil when used in our commercial operation. Highly recommend this app for both GA or commercial flyers. Worth every penny.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2014-12-31, version 2.60*

Great app, great functionality. Highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2014-12-31, version 2.60*

All the functions you will ever need.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-12-31, version 2.60*

This is a great app that I use on every flight.  The two functions that I use consistently are the fuel weight calculations and journey logbook function.  This is the most comprehensive aviation calculator app in the App Store.

### 5/5 — CFII

*2014-12-19, version 2.60*

Great app. Easy to use, very straight forward. I'm a CFII and use the app daily with my students.   Almost al of my students use this app. The author is very receptive to suggestions and is quick to resolve any issues.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — It's ok if only

*2013-04-07, version 2.18*

Nice app too bad can't be used on the FAA exam.

### 2/5 — Turning Stall Speed Calculation Error

*2012-01-16, version 2.0*

The bank stall speed calculations of this calculator are incorrect. A glider with a stall speed of 40 mph circling in a thermal at a 60 degree angle does so at 2 G's. To calculate the stall speed at this angle one must take the square root of 2, which is 1.4, and multiply that number by the published level stall speed of 40 which would make the new stall speed 56 mph and not 80 mph as the calculator indicates. 

Also, could you add a simple calculator function to this calculator?

### 3/5 — METAR and TAF

*2016-08-24, version 2.73*

METAR and TAF is no longer available? What gives? Without the weather feature, this app is little more than an electronic E6B.

### 3/5 — Weight and balance

*2012-08-18, version 2.14*

Please add a weight and balance!!!

### 3/5 — Maybe

*2011-02-09, version 1.44*

It's not a good interface like the one screen does all  it's complex with back and forth screen action but it has vertical nav functions a 3 star rateing because it's not a simple clean program

### 4/5 — Jet Aircraft E6B...

*2015-06-01, version 2.63*

I fly CRJ's for a living and wanted an E6B for those moments when Dispatch gives you just enough fuel and not a pound more. Helps calculate fuel burns, ISA deviations and many other things. Definitely recommend.

### 4/5 — E6b

*2013-08-15, version 2.20*

This app is perfect for all phases of pre-flight planning.  From TAS to Performance Data this app handles flawlessly!
Price rates it 4 Stars.

### 4/5 — Great.

*2012-12-05, version 2.16*

Very functional! Wonderful app

Potential improvements: Visual design could be improved (some icons not retina-display ready and will still be ugly if they are updated!) also, when entering data, a next field button on the keyboard would be convenient!

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2012-11-07, version 2.15*

I like this app, but I would love to see an update capable of computing a fix to fix.  Otherwise it has everything else I really need.  I'm a C-130 navigator with 12 years experience.

### 4/5 — E6B

*2012-08-24, version 2.14*

Very convenient and complete. Very nice.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Excellent app for new and experienced aviators

*2026-05-11, version 2026.1*

I have used this app for many years and am still discovering new uses for it (like crew rest). I am a B737 Captain and my son will be starting his flight training soon.  I’ll make sure this app is on his phone. Thank you Captain Lonnie.

### 5/5 — Worth the money

*2026-03-06, version 2025.31*

I purchased this app on recommendation of another pilot and my favourite feature is the flight time/air time calculator. Worth the money alone for that to speed up post flight time calculations and more importantly accuracy when you’re tired from a long day of flying many legs. Perhaps there’s other free apps that can do that but this includes so much more.

### 5/5 — Best E6B I have ever used

*2025-12-17, version 2025.31*

The latest update with the Digital ATIS feature lets me check the airport active runway and RSC before I go to work. The ability to save cold weather correction approaches is super handy for last minute runway changes. 

This is by far the best/easiest electronic E6B I have ever used. It’s intuitive and very well laid out. I have been using this app for over 15 years and it just keeps getting better and better. The developer keeps upgrading and adding features on a regular basis. This is truly the best addition to my flight bag and well worth the money.

### 5/5 — Must have.

*2025-01-03, version 2024.16*

Great App and a must have for pilots!

### 5/5 — Good app

*2024-12-22, version 2024.16*

Please add snowtam decoder and JETA1 computations that would be great

### 5/5 — Nice simple app that works

*2024-12-18, version 2024.16*

Love this app, so simple, no extras, it doesn’t keep growing or try to do more and more. Still happy with it many years later!

### 5/5 — Best E6B

*2022-06-19, version 3.12*

This app contains EVERYTHING you need to fly safely. I’d recommend this to absolutely anyone who flies.

### 5/5 — Exceptional App

*2018-09-17, version 2.81*

I am an experimental test pilot with Bombardier Learjet. I use Lonnie’s app frequently for test mission planning and execution. It is reliable and thorough. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Best E6B I have ever used

*2017-12-08, version 2.78*

This is by far the best/easiest electronic E6B I have ever used. It’s intuitive and very well laid out. I have been using this app for over 7 years and it just keeps getting better and better. The developer keeps upgrading and adding features on a regular basis. This is truly the best addition to my flight bag and well worth the money.
