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. ### 2/5 — ForeFlight’s downward spiral has begun *2026-07-14, version 18.5.2* 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. ### 4/5 — No useful support *2026-07-11, version 18.5.2* 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. ### 3/5 — Great app but recent update causing issues with finger measure tool *2026-06-23, version 18.4.3* 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. ### 3/5 — Use to be great *2026-06-21, version 18.4.3* 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 ### 3/5 — why not support chinese *2026-06-19, version 18.4.3* why ### 2/5 — What happened *2026-05-20, version 18.3.3* 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 ### 2/5 — Téléchargements beaucoup trop lents… *2026-05-17* 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… ### 3/5 — More CFI support *2026-05-13* 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. ### 4/5 — Complet, intuitif, mais … *2026-04-23* 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 ! ### 1/5 — Pricing is becoming outrageous *2026-04-01, version 18.2.2* Love this app, but I’m not liking the direction the new owners are taking. ForeFlight was purchased by private equity and the transfer occurred in November of this year. It’s only been one month and they’ve already slashed the CFI discount from %33 to %15 and replaced it with a predatory referral program. I wouldn’t be surprised if the price increases soon either. I simply cannot support this. ### 1/5 — App is trash now *2026-03-26, version 18.2.2* Been using this app for years now. This last month it has become next to useless. Chunky, unmoving map. Lags like a 14.4k modem. Pretty much useless in air. Sellouts. ### 1/5 — Started off great but headed in the wrong direction. *2026-03-24, version 18.2.1* I’ve used this app since 2018. It had a great team of developers who listened to their users. Since then it was bought by private equity who fired a large portion of those developers to replace them with AI. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Extremely buggy for being so expensive… *2026-08-15* Main issue is the performance profile interface is filled with bugs and crashes. Last app and iOS version too. Fix your stuff ### 1/5 — Once great, now stalling *2026-08-13, version 18.6.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Sleazy tactics *2026-07-01, version 18.5.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Unable to update *2026-06-28, version 18.5.1* 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. ### 1/5 — They fired a bunch of staff and now basic functions don’t work. *2026-06-06, version 18.4.3* 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! ### 1/5 — Private Equity *2026-05-24, version 18.4.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Money Hungry *2026-04-27, version 18.3.2* 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. ### 1/5 — Poor App Support *2026-04-22, version 18.3.2* 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 . Chuck B ### 1/5 — Small weather fonts *2026-04-08, version 18.2.2* Sure would be nice if we could pinch and spread the weather line on METARS & TAFS to read them better in a bouncing airplane at night. I have asked about this numerous times and seems nothing is done about it, The FF software writers should go fly at night in bad weather and report as to how they do! ### 1/5 — WARNING *2026-04-01, version 18.2.2* ForeFlight just cost us OVER $2,000 (yes, TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS (& yes, United States dollars)) due to their incompetence & lack of wanting to prevent this from happening to you. Disgusting. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fixed my problem *2026-08-15* 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! ### 5/5 — Cher mais indispensable ! *2026-07-15* 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. ### 5/5 — Long haul flights 15 plus hours *2026-06-21, version 18.4.3* 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. ### 5/5 — Incredible Electronic Flight Bag! *2026-06-12, version 18.4.3* 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! ### 5/5 — Love the app *2026-05-09, version 18.3.3* Positively the best flying app I’ve ever had in my whole career thank you guys for everything you’ve done😃 ### 5/5 — Excellent customer support *2026-05-01, version 18.3.2* 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. ### 5/5 — Awesome app *2026-04-09, version 18.2.2* I have had great experience and support from foreflight on the lasts 7 years! ### 5/5 — Technical Support *2026-03-11, version 18.1.2* Todd and crew at ForeFlight provide excellent support for the product. They are very responsive and knowledgeable on the product. ### 5/5 — Great EFB App *2026-02-11* This is one of the most comprehensive EFB apps out there. Works great, easy to use. Have used it for several years on iPhone and iPad, stable and reliable app. ### 5/5 — Missed Approach Procedure *2026-01-13* Adding a “Graphical” depiction of the Missed Approach, like on the published plates, would go a long way, especially if trying to read in the Bumps….
