## What is FSWidgets QuickPlan?

QuickPlan for iPad is a visual touch enabled flight planner that makes it easy to generate flight plans in native FSX, FS2004 or X-Plane formats. It makes a great companion for our moving map app - FSWidgets Navigator.

The entire route is generated visually, by tapping the map to add the departure airport, intermediate waypoints and arrival airport in the same order that you intend flying the plan.

During plan creation and after adding the final arrival waypoint you also have the opportunity to remove any of the intermediate waypoints before saving the plan in your preferred format.

Flight plans are saved to the apps Documents folder, accessible on macOS via the Finder window, or on Windows PC using the iTunes File Sharing feature. For a more convenient file export solution you can use the built-in Dropbox support to easily transfer flight plans to your Mac or PC.

Now includes 40 Aero Chart overlays and Worldwide Nav Data icons (airport, ILS, VOR, NDB, fix).

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2018-11-17*

Very nice app to make flight plans for X-Plane, I purchased the package deal with the EFB, GMap, and QuickPlan, for the price it would have been nice to include the airports, had to pay extra for those.

### 2/5 — Needs work....

*2015-02-11*

While the intention is great, the results fall short of even a PPL-Land license holder.

There's no actual VFR/IFR LO/HI charts, which makes it a bit difficult to create a good flight plan. 

Selecting to display various navigation points is pointless as there are none.

Selecting to display DEP/ARR airports, all you get are LATLON values... Nothing more.

I'll change my review of this product as i think it has potential, but for now I would consider this application still in Alpha stage.

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2014-03-23*

Really loving this app. Does exactly what it says it will do.

### 3/5 — No 3G support - useless for me

*2013-02-25*

The app has no support for 3G connections seems to be wifi only. Unfortunately the original requirement specification was missing this info but now the wifi only label been added. The developer promised to look into the  matter for a future update. Going for a refund. 3 stars but bear in mind that I have not seen the actual product.

### 5/5 — A Great Addition

*2012-06-24*

Incredibly easy to use. Turns out flight plans in record time. If you don't already have it, get the Nav Data cloud and Map cloud, I recommend it but it's not necessary - this app rocks on its own with the standard maps.  Using Dropbox to move them to your computer running FSX couldn't be easier.  I doubt I'll ever use the FSX flight planner for VFR flights again.
