Everybody want the satellite view option , add that quickly !
Really good visual
Like all things Garmin, a fail JUST GET FOREFLIGHT
After all the inputs and effort you put in it falls at the most important point... The briefing. Some mysterious error message about IFR not being a valid aircraft type.
Great app, logbook is a failure
I was sick of ForeFlights tactics so I switched to Garmin. The app is great if not using the logbook. The log books big failure is not printing out. You can only export which does not include CFI signature. Reluctantly I went back to ForeFlight. It’s only a convenience, next year when I finish my training and signatures are no longer important I will more than likely be back.

Crashes and hangs recently
Not useful anymore for productive flying. Crashes and hangs regularly, not only for me but also others. I recommended it before, but like this I cannot anymore. Tip: If it hangs try reinstalling the NAV database.
Great but still difficult for planning
Great tool especially for sync with g1000 nxi, but for routing is really bad compared to foreflight.
Database concierge
You spend tens of thousands of dollars on equipment, thousands on databases, a couple thousand on an SD card (flightstream 510) and they still want a yearly subscription for this app to be able to use all the above mentioned products correctly.
Database concierge should easily be included in the free plan. The only people using it have already given garmin, and continue to give garmin, an insane amount of money.

Latest update breaks stored flight plans sync on iPad
Only my 9 most recent flight plans are shown on iPad. The Android app still shows all my flight plans. I tried logging out and back in, no change. Garmin, please fix this!
Better than ForeFlight
As a CFI I really appreciate the %50 discount. The pricing is very reasonable and I like that there are only 2 pricing tiers, which makes things simple. With ForeFlight pricing going up and up it’s nice to have a solid alternative, as there have been many improvements to Garmin Pilot since I last used it. All of my new students will be using GP. Keep up the good work. The only thing I miss from ForeFlight is the Takeoff and Landing distance feature, so it would be nice to have this in the future.

tech dept. cannot solve issue
it could be a very nice software, but unfortunately during the briefing package for a flight it keeps giving error and not producing the proper documents.
It's a few months I'm going on with a technical department, but nobody solved the issue.
ForeFlight it's still the best app at the moment. And if you have any problem within 24 hours it's solved.

Getting worse not better
I have used Pilot for years. It is a great platform except for the sync issues which are numerous. I don’t understand why my charts don’t simply update in the background, when I go to the downloads tab it tells me my charts are up to date and then after a few seconds of thinking about it then it tells me they are expired. The W&B is horrible at syncing especially from the Pilotweb site which uses a totally different format and has multiple unintuitive ways of entering the data. It’s almost like they built this thing and never tried it for themselves. Most pilots are results based, we don’t need the flashy graphics as much as we need solid performance, work on making it work before you work on making it pretty.

One of the worse nav apps possible
Tried and paid subscription but was a bad experience
Good effort, ways to go.
Buggy and UX far less polished than the leading competitor. iPhone trips sync constantly fails. App consumes 500mb of (cellular!) data every fresh lunch even though everything has been downloaded for offline use. Occasional crashes. Route wont overlay on top of Plate overlay. Can’t have aeronautical data such as airspaces overlaid on top of VNC or IFR charts. Plates overlay randomly disappear when switching tabs. Redundant Flight Plan tab. Download tab disappeared on iPad app until complete reinstall. CFS download stuck and won’t complete. And many others. No electronic way to contact support or leave feedback.

Comparing with Foreflight….
Very different from my Foreflight experience. Initial chart downloads was a hard fail due to UI issues. Uploading my Foreflight logbook to Garmin was absolutely horrible. Garmin has obviously not thought about trying to win over Foreflight users since transitioning is totally manual and an unbelievable pain in the &$@#. Currency tracking is a hard fail. I manually input ALOT of data and it went from showing me fully current to then rejecting everything… why??? Originally I wanted to use Garmin but the flight school I was at used only Foreflight. So, I used that for the first year. Garmin should be easier to transition to because of how many Garmin systems are being used or upgraded into by Pilatus and Cessna jets plus Cirrus. Unfortunately so far my 30 day trial period is turning out to be a total fail due to the horrible transition from Foreflight. I do like the slightly cheaper prices and 2-tier subscription rather than more expensive 3-tier with Foreflight. Lots of interesting features with Garmin and I’m hoping this will work as a Foreflight replacement but does not look good right now.

Failure
The flight is not being send to D2 Mach2
Good app, unstable
I’m a foreflight convert. Pilot is definitely different but after the initial learning curve it’s easy to use and a capable EFB. Unfortunately I have serious stability issues in flight. When paired with flightstream, opening a weather tab will freeze my iPad 100% of the time. The logbook entry page freezes frequently, and I’ve been trying to look at my entries recently, and they’re missing. There are many other bugs, I saw airports turn green today, not sure why-it’s not weather related.
It doesn’t feel like a polished product and with its inflight crashes I’m going to have to move back to foreflight.

Transfer FPL to watch
After previous update can’t transfer FPL to my D2 Mach 2 watch. Support can’t solve this issue. Button transfer to look like ok but don’t respond to tapping.
Error
Setelah update untuk EET DAN ETA tidak muncul
TIME
Why the ETA and everything about time are not functioned when i i i update in 26.2.0 version
My favorite EFB app
Garmin Pilot is the EFB app that works best with my Garmin avionics. It took me a while to get used to some of the differences (after I switched from ForeFlight), but I’m now completely at home in Garmin Pilot and feel it was worth switching.
