ClearNOTAMs • Easily review NOTAMs before a flight with reliable AI translations that convey the essential meaning of every NOTAM in plain English, with the original text only a tap away. • Translated NOTAMs are available throughout ForeFlight Mobile and ForeFlight Web in all places you view NOTAMs, except for the PDF Briefing format. • Tap “Show Source” below any translated NOTAM to compare it side-by-side with the original text to verify the translation’s accuracy. In the rare case of an inaccurate translation, a built-in “Report Error” button allows you to seamlessly notify ForeFlight staff of the error. • ClearNOTAMs works alongside the enhanced NOTAM interface described below, making it easier to review, prioritize, and understand the information that matters most during your briefing. • ClearNOTAMs is available with all individual ForeFlight subscription plans as a limited-time preview, and will subsequently be available with Premium, Business Performance, MFB Performance, and MFB One subscription plans. NOTAM Interface Improvements • Find the NOTAMs you care about faster with new filtering, sorting, and organization tools. • You can view the new NOTAM interface improvements from the NOTAM tab in the Airports view or by tapping the airport on the map. • Filter NOTAMs by category, source, activation time, and more to narrow the list. • Sort NOTAMs by category, recency, effective time, and more, then pin important NOTAMs to the top of the view or collapse less important NOTAMs with a double-tap. • The enhanced NOTAM interface is available with all ForeFlight subscription plans. Flights: Mobile Clearance • Skip the clearance calls and get to the runway faster by requesting, reviewing, and accepting your IFR departure clearance entirely within ForeFlight at a growing number of U.S. airports. • The option to request your mobile clearance will become available 30 minutes prior to your filed departure time at the bottom of the Flights view. • ForeFlight will automatically notify you when ATC returns your clearance, including the full route string and an inset map depiction, after which you’ll have five minutes to review it and either accept or reject it. • Mobile Clearance is available for all customers initially at several airports primarily in southeast Texas, Kansas, and Wisconsin, and will be enabled at more airports by the FAA over time. ForeFlight AI Connector • Connect ForeFlight to ChatGPT to discover new ways to plan, brief, and more, all grounded in your own ForeFlight data. • Search for ForeFlight Mobile in the ChatGPT Plugin Directory to add the plugin and authenticate with your ForeFlight account. ChatGPT can then access data from your account and ForeFlight such as flight, aircraft, Logbook, and performance data, current and forecast weather, and more in response to your prompts. • Available to all individual ForeFlight subscribers as an open preview. Logbook: Progress Report Guidance • Understand progress reports more easily with clear breakdowns of each requirement, guidance on how to log qualifying time, and links to the published regs. Tap Details next to each requirement to learn more. Maps: Enhanced Airport Diagrams • Improve your situational awareness while taxiing with highly-detailed diagrams for over 1,200 airports globally depicting yellow centerlines and hold short bars, tie-down locations, gate labels, and more. Simply zoom into ForeFlight’s Aeronautical Map layer to view the enhanced diagrams. Maps: One-Finger Zoom • Easily zoom in and out of the map by double-tapping and then dragging your finger up or down, perfect for one-handed control on iPhone and an alternative to the pinch-zoom gesture on iPad.

Extremely buggy for being so expensive…

Main issue is the performance profile interface is filled with bugs and crashes. Last app and iOS version too. Fix your stuff

Fixed my problem

Extremely satisfied with prompt solution. I had a problem that I must’ve spent myself three hours on trying to resolve. I’m a 13 year user of ForeFlight in firmly believe in exhausting all of my own resources before I jump into the queue for corporate support. My initial complaint about a lock screen unable to automatically switch to landscape was met with three suggestions for how to use synthetic vision. I’m a Marine so you can imagine my thoughts when I read that and tried to ascertain how some AI fool thought I had a synthetic vision issue when I’m not even using it or subscribed to it. I responded flip it, but yet Todd apparently read my rejection and quickly jumped on the problem and his first solution complete with pitcher in an arrow, which button to push immediate resolved the problem again I spent all kinds time to resolve it on my own yet Todd quickly ascertain what my issue was and had a solution in my mailbox at six in the morning.
Todd ROCKS!

Once great, now stalling

They have removed the ability to purchase a subscription through the app even though their own documentation still says it is possible. “Support” is unresponsive. Unfortunately, it appears this company is entering an uncoordinated stall.

AI is taking over

ForeFlight has been a great app for pilots. However, they are instituting AI in there product which often produces questionable output. From a developmental perspective, that’s fine. But it would be nice to have a setting that disables any AI output from being on the screen.

Cher mais indispensable !

Soit l’abonnement est cher. Mais l’application est indispensable pour tout Pilote VFR. Je m’en lasse, jamais c’est vraiment l’outil à emporter en avion.
