### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-02-20*

I am a plane spotter downloading this for NOTAMS works great just wondering on the NOTAMs is the time in UTC the time on my phone or the local time at the airport?

**Developer response:** Hi Jack, thanks for your support! 

If you are viewing times in local (Settings > Timezone) then you’re seeing times in the selected airport’s timezone, not yours. The other option is to view all times in UTC. Hope that helps! 

If you have any more questions/suggestions feel free to drop me an email at feedback@myflyr.com.

### 5/5 — Solid, User friendly app

*2020-08-27*

This app is perfect for professional and recreational pilots alike. It’s a ‘one-stop-shop’ for pertinent information relating to aerodromes from all over the world. The ‘report view’ is amazing by turning weather and Notam information into plain English. 

Very user friendly and highly recommend it!

### 2/5 — Partial database

*2016-12-29*

It's good for the two airports it covers in my area.  It does not have a GPS centering (around you) feature, and only the Class B airports in my area are in the database.  Not worth the money.

### 5/5 — Great! Snowtam + MOTNE?

*2016-11-22*

awesome job! maybe include snowtams and motne?

### 5/5 — A must-have app for pilots

*2016-06-15*

This is an extremely well designed app which has now completely replaced all others I previously used. Nice interface which is quick and easy to navigate and presents information much more accessibly than other apps of its kind. Particularly like the automatic decoding and highlighting of significant weather and NOTAM information. Use this every day and would highly recommend.

### 5/5 — Perfect pre-flight app

*2016-06-14*

Flying EU short haul, this is a great pre-flight 'get ahead of the game' app. Easy, logical, and with all the information at your fingertips. Nice layout and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Superb App

*2016-06-09*

This is the most used aviation app I have. METAR and TAF information is quicker and easier to access than my airline's crew resources. NOTAM decodes and runway characteristics are clearly displayed and the whole app is very straightforward to navigate. Well designed. Used everyday. Would highly recommend. 5*
