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.
ForeFlight’s downward spiral has begun
Like many of you, I was concerned when ForeFlight fired half of its staff after getting bought by a venture capital firm. I was ready for the asset strip to begin and this program to become slop. The chat-GPT plugin is the first example of this. Enjoy getting very inaccurate weather briefings. Hopefully no one dies because of this garbage.

No useful support
The app itself is very good. Support is almost non existent. The chat is AI that has no clue. There is no phone support. The only hope of communicating with a human is by email. It cold take days or weeks to get an answer going back and forth by email. Im trying to add to my subscription for a flight tomorrow but ran into an error for which there is no apparent way to fix it. I will end up borrowing charts for tomorrow. I am a very frustrated and unhappy customer.

Sleazy tactics
Price goes up every year, now they cut the SAFE discount in half. I am all done with ForeFlight, I knew once they were sold this was going to happen. Also w&b only includes fuel in the top tier. Sleazy
Unable to update
ForeFlight is definitely going downhill fast. I’ve been trying to download updates FOR. TWO. DAYS! It always gives me an error and I have to try the update again. It’s not my iPad and my WiFi is working just fine. This is what happens when you fire the technical staff and send development offshore.
I’m done with ForeFlight and will not renew.

Great app but recent update causing issues with finger measure tool
Great app for flying both commercially to watch it as a hobbyist flying privately like myself. But a recent update now makes it almost every time I pinch to zoom on the map instead goes to the measure tool. Is very frustrating and distracting. And I see no option to disable or adjust the settings. I also wish there was a way to set flight history to non pilot so it’s not officially tracked since I like to use it when traveling and not piloting.

Long haul flights 15 plus hours
So I don’t pay the real fee on my iPhone but I’m going to do the trial. See I am very expirianced with this app. I would say I adore this app!!! I am a commercial pilot for Ethiopian and I do my favorite route nyc (KJFK) to adidas abbaba. And when I was with American Airlines I would use it for my jfk to Delhi flight. Cheers.

Use to be great
This app use to be great; however, it’s been on the decline. I’ve experienced a lot of performance issue within the last 8 months. I’ll be trying Garmin once my ForeFlight subscription expires
why not support chinese

Incredible Electronic Flight Bag!
You truly can’t go wrong with ForeFlight as an Electronic Flight Bag! The system and interface are very easy to use and navigate. Additionally, if questions arise, the ForeFlight Support Team is super easy to contact and very responsive. I would give 10 stars if I could!
They fired a bunch of staff and now basic functions don’t work.
Downloads don’t work consistently even with full service (verified stable connection). Downloads also don’t register as needing to be downloaded quickly anymore. Database gets old, I go to the downloads page to update and even though they are out of date the page doesn’t refresh to allow me to press the download button. When will the option open up? No clue, may take hours or may happen immediately. You have no control and can’t update in time for a flight. Downloads page is also stuck. Issue is not internet connection, and this is after an IPad restart. Same problem. Just frozen. Will not download.
Sharing flights with crew members now only works maybe 50% of the time. Constantly failing.
These issues did not happen before they laid off critical staff. This app is basic infrastructure for the safe operation of flight. Get it together!

Private Equity
Looks like it was bought by PE. That’s usually the peak. App will now prioritize revenue over features customers want. Slowly will hollow out user base until new boutique app pops up to replace it and grows… is bought out by private equity also... and circle of life occurs again.
What happened
ForeFlight used to be great and it seems with every new recent update the app runs worse than before. The amount of times the app just bogs down doing anything is increasing, the weather and radar sometimes loads and sometimes doesn’t, and the amount of times I have to refresh a flight plan over and over again because of the “no winds” problem is absurd. At least the perf numbers and EOPs still work

Téléchargements beaucoup trop lents…
Temps de chargement des mises a jour beaucoup trop long - même à la maison avec la fibre - 20min pour 2Go !!!
Pas acceptable et je n’ose même pas imaginer en itinérance…

More CFI support
Overall the ForeFlight app has been incredible for the industry. It remains to be seen how the ownership changes effect the quality. I manage a corporate flight department and unlike many of my colleagues, I’m not making the full switch over to FF until I know the support and growth continues.
The purpose of this review is specific to CFI support. FF wants us to recommend use of FF to our students and even goes so far as offering us “rewards” for doing so. What is truly lacking is full support for the instructors. We need to have the ability to print a PDF copy of the endorsements we have GIVEN. I can print a report of my experience/logbook with endorsements I have RECEIVED. I CANNOT print a copy of the endorsements I have given a student. It should not be that difficult to allow CFIs to go to instructor tools, endorsements and print a copy of all our endorsements. We are required to keep endorsements for 3 years (TSA-5 years). Currently we rely on the app not to crash or cloud to fail. We must have the ability to print a summary of our endorsements. I’ve made this request multiple times and ask CFIs I know to do the same. I always get the same response, “we are considering for future updates”. I do have high expectations especially when they want me to promote to my students and offer me rewards for doing so. Over the past 5 years I have recommended 34 pilots for checkrides from Sport pilot through CFII/MEI with a first time pass rate of 96%. I speak from experience, we should have the functionality to keep an additional record of our endorsements given.

Love the app
Positively the best flying app I’ve ever had in my whole career thank you guys for everything you’ve done😃
Excellent customer support
Excellent customer support and a very professional aviation app. The team was kind, responsive, and extremely helpful. Looking forward to using ForeFlight during my flying in the U.S.
Money Hungry
Pretty sad the price continues to increase and synthetic vision can’t be an add on any longer. You have to pay an extra $130 to bump up to the Essential package and don’t use half of the stuff in the package.
Complet, intuitif, mais …
Le bilan carburant complet disponible uniquement en premium, c’est de la radinerie pure, n’importe quelle application de vol, même gratuite, propose cela de base !
Poor App Support
I lost a phone and was unable to log into ForeFlight . After numerous attempts with support (email only - terrible ) they just stopped responding !
I was never able to get back into my account ! Have lost my logbook for the last 6-7 years .
Not a happy customer .
