User reviews

Does not work

Downloaded version 3.22 as I just purchased this GPS. This training app closes and will not start. Poor program for such a big company.

Fails instantly at startup

Fail instantly at startup

Was great but quit working

I used this app a lot and really liked it. Now it has suddenly quit. Won’t start. Tried restarting my iPad mini. Tried reinstalling. Still won’t start. Now I guess I have to fly my plane to practice. Garmin should be ashamed. Guess I will buy UAvionics next time.

Unusable

The app crashes every time I click on Start. Since we can’t download the previous version it’ unusable right now…

Crashes on iPad mini 4

I have two iPad mini 4’s and desperate to practice on the simulator rather than burn Avgas, but the app crashes every time. PLEASE FIX THIS!
