### 3/5 — Good but not the best

*2023-01-11, version 7.7*

Good app, but not the best. 
Fuel uplift and fuel required should be on the same page. The developer can take in example DXB fuel helper. 

Also could be great to have an conversion table for fuel density between all units.

### 2/5 — New update not so good

*2020-08-21*

This app has been brilliant up until the latest update. I set the required settings for the app but every time it’s opened it defaults to the original settings. 
It’s no longer quick and easy to use and has to be checked to make sure an error doesn’t occur.

### 3/5 — Not as good as it used to be

*2020-07-19*

We often have multiple fuel receipts. The old version allowed you to add the quantity of each which eliminated the step of having to total them all. Also, this version won’t calculate weight uplifted until you select the units (lb/gal) despite the fact they are already shown. If you don’t reselect the units the weight will stay at zero. Not sure why the “fix” to something that wasn’t broken. The app updated right before my checkride. I was caught off guard and resorted to using a calculator.

### 3/5 — Not always accurate

*2017-12-21*

Had yet another error with this app. Showed percentage difference between uplift and takeoff as 4.3% but actual was less than 1%.  This concept is great but it seems to make mistakes like this regularly.  All inputs were correct and in correct units.  Done multiple times by multiple crew members.  Regular calculator worked fine.  747-400.

### 2/5 — This new version doesn

*2010-07-03, version 0*

Anyone had problems getting this version to work properly? i have ver 2.2 but it doesn't seemed to be working properly. The older versions was ok.

### 4/5 — Pilot

*2010-04-25, version 0*

### 1/5 — Calc error

*2022-10-13*

There’s an error in calculations. No update by the app builder.

### 1/5 — Was a great reliable app - calcs now broken

*2020-10-24*

Calculations are broken in latest 2 updates.

### 1/5 — App not working

*2020-08-22*

Can’t get this app to total fuel, does not convert gallons to lbs or add remaining to uplift.

### 1/5 — Bring back the old version

*2020-07-23*

Old version was better this one doesn’t work

### 1/5 — Doesn't work at all

*2015-09-25*

loaded it, used it 5 times and ever since can't open it .....
Waste of money ( until update?!?)...

### 1/5 — Fuel uplift v4.4 on 4s.

*2011-12-20*

Waste of money. Tried many examples but different results each time. Not thought out, untested, shouldn't be charging for this.  Will not compute on 4s.

### 1/5 — funky math

*2010-09-01*

This app cannot even calculate simple math.  If you put in the example inputs you do not get the same results.

### 1/5 — Buggy

*2010-04-01*

Tried the app, but it doesn't work. When you select a unit the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Bin ich zu dumm??

*2010-01-31*

Also entweder bin ich zu dumm, oder das Programm macht / kann Dinge von denen ich nix verstehe. 
Ich fliege LearJet 35 und LearJet 55, es ist simpel, nach der Landung guckst du was noch im Tank schwappt, guckst auf nen schlauen Zettel was du zum Weiterflug haben solltest, rechnest diese Differenz rechnet man um von LBS in Liter.
Also hab ich versucht dem Programm zu sagen: Das hab ich noch, das brauche ich.... wieviel muss ich reinpressen lassen (alle Angaben sollten in kg/LBS/L/...usw sein)
Und das macht das Programm nun mal nicht!
Ein , weil ich gar keine Programme für's iPhone schreiben kann und ich das toll finde wenn man das kann.

### 2/5 — Older version WAS better

*2020-09-17*

Always reverts back to litres. Very irritating. Wish I could go back to the old version.

Good app,

But after recent update it will not populate kg box after s.g box filled

### 4/5 — Capt

*2013-02-04, version 5.3*

One important calculation missing: density lb/gal(US) vs kg/cm3
for Japan

### 4/5 — Very useful app..

*2010-09-19, version 0*

This app is very useful for accurate calculation of jet feul uplift. Would be great if the density could be changed to lbs/USgal instead of just kg/ltr.. *thumbs up*
