### 1/5 — Aucun support…

*2025-04-24, version 1.3.1*

Impossible à faire fonctionner, demande d’aide, aucune réponse. J’ai perdu 2,99€…

### 1/5 — Can’t work

*2024-10-25, version 1.3.1*

It does not work at all 3 pounds wasted

### 2/5 — Not good value

*2024-07-11, version 1.3.1*

For the price, this app is disappointing.
It doesn’t deal well with switching to landscape format. It flips to portrait mode randomly.
The + and - keys seem to just relocate the view to a random more often than not. They work sometimes, but the zoom zooms off, then returns and barely zooms in or out.
I anticipate that the developer, like many others, will duck out of any tech support because I’m on an ipad.

### 5/5 — Works nicely, a few bugs

*2023-11-10*

I’m using this with MSFS2020.  Working fine.

Zoom ‘in’ is a “-“ and zoom ‘out’ is a “+”, which is backwards.  Plus usually means more zoom in.  Minor nuance.

Landscape mode only works if after connected and you go to the map, you exit the app, turn your iPad to landscape, then start the app up again.  But it eventually works.

Zoom out “+” sometimes zoom all the out to maximum but I have not found a pattern yet.

It would be nice to have 1) a search facility to find a location and 2) clear all waypoints.

Nice app, though and thanks for doing this.  I really appreciate it.

### 3/5 — Gut, aber nicht wie erwartet

*2023-05-29, version 1.3.1*

Die Ansicht ist gut und die Installation unkompliziert. Ich hatte allerdings erwartet, dass die Wegpunkte aus dem MSFS auf der Karte angezeigt werden. Das wäre vor allem für Wildnisflüge praktisch. Deswegen hatte ich mir die App eigl gekauft. Geht nun nicht. Sehr schade. Paar Verbesserungsvorschläge: - Zoom hakt manchmal oder reagiert zäh - Wäre schön, wenn der Server automatisch mit dem MSFS starten würde (wie bei FS Realistic) - Heading stimmt teilweise nicht ganz mit der Anzeige im Flugzeug überein - wie gesagt: Die Wegpunkte/Flugroute aus dem Simulator wäre echt klasse. - Eventuell eine Suchfunktion wie bei Google Maps, sodass man nach POIs oder Straßen oder Städten suchen kann (die im Text der Wildnisflüge genannt werden)

### 4/5 — Great app with one missing feature

*2023-04-09, version 1.3.1*

I love this app - it is the first only properly functioning and easy to setup for use on iOS. However I am missing the feature of seeing my flight path line on the map which would be expected for a payware app. Would highly appreciate if this comes with a future update. Cheers and keep up the good work!

### 1/5 — Don’t get

*2023-02-11*

Doesn’t work 
All you’ll get is a connecting to server …. Save your money

### 5/5 — Lots of things

*2022-09-30*

Wouldnt it be cool to change the warther.... add some clouds... change the wind.... maybe change your plane to...

AUTMUSE

............

Latests

Nothing is working
No teleporting
No actual tracking
And now i have to plug in the ip address every time

—————————————————————————

Mostest updates

There is never a dull moment with this app creator

—————————-

Great update

I want to see where i have been...
——————————

Its a great tool... although there is so much more that can be added....

Can you add where i can see all the other planes.... that would be cool.. 

And add a trail to the end of the plane

### 1/5 — Won’t work

*2022-09-05, version 1.3.1*

Won’t work. Just keeps saying “waiting for server data”. I’ve tried all the fixes and it’s still doing nothing. Is it down or is it just broken?

### 4/5 — Tolles Tool mit Potential

*2021-09-11, version 1.3.1*

Die Anbindung an den MSFS2020 funktioniert auf Anhieb und problemlos. 
Die Kartenanzeige ist übersichtlich und funktional. Die Waypunkte Funktion ist gelungen.

Was toll als Ergänzung wäre:
1. einlesen von FS Flugplänen und Anzeige in der Karte
2. Layout umschaltbar um optisch ein MFD zu simulieren
3. Aufzeichnung der geflogenen Route in der Karte mit anderer Farbe als Waypoints oder Flugpläne.

Mach weiter so die App hat echt Potenzial 👍🏻
