Great product
Well done. Works well offline
Effective, but time to improve
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.

Good, not great
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.

Map is awful
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.

Trip Sheet Feature
Please build a trip sheet feature that allows pilots to plan and push trip information from pilot app to pax.
Need to support older iPads
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.

Good Start
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.

Need more detailed maps
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

Good, Can easily be great
We are running this in a PC-12 for passengers to track the flight. Being in a turbo prop, we often deviate for weather. The Ipads we provide pull GPS from an ADSB Receiver in the front. It would be incredibly helpful for passengers to also be able to toggle composite radar and estimate when we will be back on course when connected to such a device. Right now they are wondering why we have such a hard time flying in a straight line.

Map could be ALOT better
It’s not all that useful
Disappointing
Incredibly lame.The simulates the sort of thing you see in an airliner but with almost no map detail. I expected some additional data from the pilots ForeFlight, such as weather, airspace or traffic, but there is nothing but route, speed, and ETA. Most passengers will be better informed using another map application with GPS location.

Not showing in store for iPad
Can’t seem to find it foe the iPad only the phone
Good idea, but terrible maps
This is a great idea, but the map quality is terrible...passengers expect something along the lines of Apple Maps, showing streets, etc., not some low-res thing that looks like it was drawn with a crayon! Since the flight plan is known ahead of time, the app should cache all the tiles it is going to need to show a reasonable quality map throughout the flight.
Update: A year later and still the same crappy maps. Pathetic development team on this thing.

Great but adding more features can make it even better
Like using the passenger app for my passengers in the plane. So they have updated info and can be well aware of where we are without having to teach them to use foreflight.
But it would be nice to have an option to show traffic coming from the ADSB. So that they can assist in looking for traffic.
I think that would be such a great feature addition

Graphics
Are you serious ? Is this the best a Boeing Company can do? Where are the great visual graphics? You truly missed the chance to show passengers your stuff. I don’t care how easy it is to install it boring boring and still boring I keep looking for the color enhance button. 2 stars / One for free and One the thought. Wow let’s try and raise the bar just a little on the next effort.

Surface features needed
Great app and my wife who flies with me uses it all the time to see when we expect to arrive and relatively where we are. However the more conf map needs more surface features to have the passenger look and locate them making it more entertaining
Needs more map data
I end up typically just running ForeFlight itself on my cell phone for passengers to look at because the passenger app needs more granular maps (more towns perhaps some additional road data) and also the ability to show airports on the map. My passengers like doing some pilotage and enjoy seeing landmarks shown on their view like airports.

Really cool experience for passengers
This app rocks but I think something that would be cool is a way to On the main foreflight app be able to send notifications to the passengers. Such as sometimes I’m isolated do to a lot of distractions in the cockpit but if we can control messages to the passenger app that would be amazing. Also a way to have a seatbelt sign would be really cool that we can control on the main foreflight app.
