### 5/5 — No Updates

*2025-04-24*

I love the app - but it hasn’t been updated in four years. Please update it, ForeFlight.

### 3/5 — No Updates

*2024-09-22, version 1.7*

I love the app - but it hasn’t been updated in three years. Please update and improve it, ForeFlight.

### 5/5 — Great product

*2024-07-08, version 1.7*

Well done. Works well offline

### 4/5 — Effective, but time to improve

*2023-07-24*

This app is very helpful to passengers, however it hasn’t really gotten much attention since its release. It would be helpful if features such as radar overlays and additional landmark spotting features were added. Additionally the time remaining could be tweaked during the climb and descent to show accurate estimates during different phases of flight where not at typical cruising speed.

### 3/5 — Good, not great

*2023-05-27*

The base functionality works fine but adding more detail to the map itself would be great even if the app storage size was a bit larger and adding the ability to pass through layers like weather or traffic from adsb woukd be amazing too.  A more detailed map is the largesr improvement that could be made in my opinion though, it’s just too high scale to be useful for short GA flights.

### 2/5 — Map is awful

*2023-05-18*

A mostly blank map with no information other than a few flight details?  Why can’t you just download the street map already present on ForeFlight and use that as the Passenger map?  I’d like to hand this to my passengers as a fun companion to their flight and a way to answer questions about what mountain peak they’re flying past, what road is that down below, etc. Instead the map is mostly blank and pretty useless.

### 2/5 — Trip Sheet Feature

*2023-03-13, version 1.7*

Please build a trip sheet feature that allows pilots to plan and push trip information from pilot app to pax.

### 3/5 — Need to support older iPads

*2022-10-25, version 1.2.1*

On my plane anyways the older iPad gets used as the “air show” iPad but it’s being left in the dust with the updates and is no longer compatible with the latest version of foreflight. This is a gross oversight. Please update for OS 12 iPads so we can use it again. Passengers love it but now a paperweight.

### 2/5 — Good Start

*2022-10-05, version 1.7*

This app is great at what it does, I just wish it did a bit more.  Base functionality to add would just be one more layer on the zoom in.  I do a lot of local GA flights and my passengers can't see much other than freeways and major cities so adding one more layer deep in the zoom would be much better.  Adding other layers like weather and traffic would be good too but bring able to zoom in just a bit more to see large roads, towns, and water would be great, it just has very limited functionality for my passengers right now.

### 2/5 — Need more detailed maps

*2021-11-09, version 1.7*

Last update really improved the map a lot. I went from "absolutely useless" to "Oh now I could tell my passengers to download it". Big problem is that it's only worth one more star because the map is still very empty. Please add an option to add Street Map or Aerial Map. When I give my iPad to my passenger, it's always one of the 2 that I activate and my passengers love it. They can track the roads to their places, can see all the small mountains and their names, and can see every little details on the map, to associate them with what they see outside.

Add Aerial and Street Maps! Please
