Ok. Need work
It’s great when it works. The features are fantastic. I came up with a lot of slow loading. Zooming or searching by moving the screen and was locked into the background grid and no maps. It happened so often. On 2 different iPads. Mini and a pro. Then there was the lock out. I was flying and to get back to readable anything I had to continuously reset the iPad. Sadly I am back on FF.
Shout screen. Widgets. The circle menu when you touch you finger anywhere on the screen. I enjoyed the features. To be honest for my experience I should have gone with a 3. Plus the Garmin GDL anything is expensive. I do still use that for now. Fly safe!

Degraded Functionality
I’ve been using Garmin Pilot since early 2024. I haven’t really had issues up until the update before Oshkosh, when the flights page was introduced. It is both downgrade in functionality and unnecessary features.
If you fly in the DC SFRA you can no longer select an altitude in hundreds of feet. I have emailed support various time and as of today this issue isn’t rectified.
Various issues plague the app and it doesn’t feel polished.
If you still have the “trip planning” page do not update.
If you are looking for an EFB ,strongly consider other options at this time.

App closing
I am normally a huge Garmin fan but am having a lot of issues with the app. My app is force closing on me and I can’t open it at times without deleting it and reinstalling
Still falling behind ForeFlight
If you want CFI’s to recommend your product, make it user friendly. I can’t log or track TAA time. If I wanted to calculate it manually, I’d just use a paper logbook.
takes times to load map
grey map only gets loaded i have to close the apps couple of time to get the real map and the terrain features . there was no such problem with the app previously but i am experiencing it from few month now …
From a serious cockpit tool to an unreliable mess
I’ve used Garmin Pilot extensively as a professional pilot and CFII, and I fly behind Garmin avionics. Unfortunately, the app has deteriorated badly.
Features that previously worked reliably have disappeared or become unreliable. Amended ATC clearances no longer consistently populate as they once did, syncing between devices is problematic, and the Flights section has become frustratingly unreliable. There are also bizarre flight-planning issues, such as baggage being interpreted as additional occupants when filing IFR.
These aren’t requests for fancy new features. Basic functionality that professional pilots depend on has regressed.
Garmin makes outstanding aviation hardware. Garmin Pilot should be held to the same standard. Right now, it isn’t.

Muito bom
Poderiam apenas inclui o satellite view e calculo de TOD
Here are some things
When I file a IFR plan if my airport doesn’t stars with a K then it just says ZZZZZ on my flight plans and if at doesn’t catch it in the details they can reject the flight plans. Also getting my exact aircraft type and performance data has been hard and still now rite I have a Cessna P210N and I wish there were one I could just import the data from and make minor changes. My plane burns 20 gph and I still don’t think I have the default fuel burn set rite

Amazing product
I flew in the days without EFBs, and using Garmin Pilot is a game changer. It’s easy to use and helps simplify flying in coordination with the built-in Garmin avionics.
Used to LOVE… not anymore
Absolutely riddled with bugs. This has become a flight risk. In the wrong circumstances, this app could kill you.
In—app purchase is broken
Absolute junk, non intuitive flight plan filing, freeze randomly or become very slow
Never going back to ForeFlight
Phenomenal all around. I was a longtime ForeFlight user, but for the price and features list, GarminPilot is my forever go to. The only feature I notice GP does not have, that ff does is Takeoff and landing performance calculations. That would be nice to have.
10/10

Latest Revision
The latest revision causes the app to freeze making it unusable. Used to be a great app, not it can’t be used
Need more vfr features for helicopter
Be careful, premium subscription don’t give you VFR chart and you need to connect on website to subscribe vfr chart
I hope satellite map can be use soon ( available on every other app )
No custom map import
We can’t see power lines
Open street map still freeze sometimes when scroll on different iPads
I actually can’t full work with this app in helicopter and I do my best to stay on garmin app
This app could be a 5 easy, please do update

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.
