Complete rip off

The map you get with the EFB looks like a driving map and not a VFR or IFR map. Will not connect to Flight sims without another download that Can’t be found. SAVE YOUR MONEY AND DO NOT BUY THIS APP.

Great App!

This is one great app! I love it. It gives you easy access to all of your charts and manuals. The map is great also. No more taking up screen space with the fsx gps that is hard to see. This map is easy to read and let's you know where you are and what is around you. The weather page is awesome also. I can't say enough positive. The customer support is the best I have received in an app. Buy it now. You will not regret it!

FS Widgets EFB for iPad

As one of the beta testers of this product I can tell you that it is fantastic. Having the charts and weather along with the map that shows all of your flight plans makes the simulator flying experience so much better. It has changed the way I fly for the better. If used in conjunction with their iGMapHD which by the way can be switched back and forth from one to the other by a double tap of the home button, you have in my opinion 2 of the best addons for flight simulator.
Having it tied to Dropbox means that you can set up all the folders on your computer and when you turn it on on the iPad everything is there ready to be used. All your flight plans, charts, weather and manuals too.
It's well worth the money.
Go get it!!!!!!!
