Haphazard. Dysfunctional.
I got this because it was the only app I could find that claimed to run voice checklists with me. That is my primary need. Unfortunately it seems the free version won’t do that. Saying “hey goose” doesn’t work unless the app has focus and is in the foreground. Useless.
There is a paid version for $24/yr that fits my needs. But there’s no way I can find to get to it. It forces me to the $36/yr version I do not need. And even if I go “pro” this thing is useless if I have to bring the app to foreground every time I want to talk to it!
This is aviation. Precision, reliability, and usability MATTER! You fail.
EDIT: it’s also unsupported. I contacted the developer with questions and there was no response. None.

App has been abandoned by developer Aerosys
Since rebranding to Goose (from Miracheck), the new developer Aerosys has appeared to abandon this app. He does not reply on the official support forum, leaving customers wondering what future of this product is …
Unable to contact support
Seems this product no longer is supported?
Great app, support gone down hill
Goose is an amazing app for pilots. It provides a heads up checklist that can be adapted for different aircraft, different phases of flight, and operated with voice or taps on the device. It is indispensable!
For me, it provided a software alternative to a multi $1000 hardware product that wouldn’t fit in our current turboprop.
The app is generally of high quality but the latest release has some critical defects that impair the useability. Attempts to get recognition of the issues from Aerosys have gone unanswered. A marked change is support from when the app was MiraCheck under the prior company. A great disappointment.
I hope this app doesn’t die of neglect and lack of support, as it’s a game changer for checklist usage and compliance.

Good idea but poorly implemented
I find it useful for what works, but too many incomplete features and bugs
Very Well Designed !!!
This is a great app and easy to use. The idea behind it and how it can be applied to any phase of flight for added safety is amazing. The app has a lot of potential and a lot of the functions are very intuitive.
-Also a good app to chair fly through different scenarios.

Can't log in
No log-in option on the app and no way to get passed the paid subscription page on the website. Terrible design.
Developer seems to have lost interest
The last version was released in early 2022 and the last post by the dev in the Miralou support forum was in November 2022.
Brilliant
I’ve owned MiraCheck since the very beginning, and it just keeps getting better and better. The developer clearly cares about the longevity of the application, and is very active (and responsive) to suggestions and feedback, which just gets plowed back into new development. So impressed. Keep it up Jack!

Unable to activate subscription
Paid for the app iPhone wants another charge before activating it da
Doesn’t work
I paid the $54.86 to upgrade to the “Standard” version and I have zero new features and the app and computer both still say that I have a “free” account. There is no developer support in the app, and no “restore purchase” button. The only “support” this app has is a discussion board that might get checked one of these days. It’s a shame because this app is great otherwise, I went online and built 4 checklists with 60 items each and can only use them on one device. Best way to get in touch with the developer is to give a 1 star review…

Continuous development
I love this app because it allows me to continually improve my checklists.
More importantly, the developer is responsive to user comments and constantly improving and enhancing the app. The UI for editing is pretty awful, but the capabilities and results are very good.

It’s ok
Overall it’s an okay app, does make the checklist slightly easier, however i can’t seem to get it working with Garmin Pilot app like it states on YouTube, I would like to be shown how it works or refunded the pro edition cause I can add checklists to Garmin Pilot and have it as a split screen within its own app.

Disappointed
Just not stable enough. Have used it extensively in my flight sim to get used to it before using it in my aircraft on an actual flight.
Sadly the program would freeze or close down just enough times in the sim for me to have no confidence in the program to use it on a real flight.
Concept is good, a couple of things could have been improved on moving through the program, but just not stable enough to risk my life with it. Back to the old iPad checklist and paper back up.
Won’t be renewing. Sorry

Cumbersome and not user friendly
This is one of the worst aviation apps I have ever used..Filled with bugs, not user friendly at all.
MiraCheck
A great program to have on your iPhone as it is easy to get to. A little “bulky” at times, but hopefully later updates will fix this.
Requires $50/yr subscription to be of any use
I wanted to like this app and understood there was a paid upgrade to it to get access to professionally created checklists and other available premium content.
I am alright with that, I understand that software development takes time and money. Unfortunately the ability to really do anything much with this app (such as create your own checklist) seems to be locked up in a $50/yr subscription. This is not an in-app-purchase but rather handled with the app company directly through a signup process on their website.
I wish there were limited abilities for free (such as keeping 3 checklists with fewer than 3 sections each) and a tier below $50 a year.

Good App & Great Customer Support!
This works very well for me. I’ve had very few issues; when contacted about an issue, customer support responds quickly. I really like the ability to customize the lists via PC and then sync them to my iPad. The app works best on the iOS environment but I also have it on my Android, where the app works fine, just with less bells and whistles. The biggest downfall when using this in the plane has nothing to do with the app itself but rather with the iPad. There can be a fierce glare that can at times make it almost impossible to see what’s on the screen. I keep printed emergency procedure cards instead. Also, here in south Florida, when the sun beats in through the windscreen, the iPad overheats and shuts down making it a problem to do anything electronically, be it a checklist or shooting an approach. It would be great if Miracheck were integrated with my Garmin GTN 750.

Very slow on iPad Mini 4 with ForeFlight.
Voice recognition: Fairly terrible. I’d have to say check on average 5 times or more.
Navigation: Not intuitive lots of miss clicks. In real world testing I had a really difficult time getting the checklist I needed in a timely fashion. Found it confusing trying to go from ground checklists to flying.
Performance: Annoyingly slow on the mini 4. Compared to my printed out poh checklist this took me an extra 8 minutes just clicking every item.
Overall compared to a nicely formatted knee board that’s printed I wouldn’t use this for any scenario or reason.
I feel like the UI needs a total overhaul. I was having to google how to do basic things.

Great potential but interface is too sensitive
I am a user of the now retired Checkmate app, and I really liked it. I think potential of this application is great, however it is much too sensitive on the interface, while trying to do a pre-flight, the interface kept bumping over to a different category, it was so frustrating that it almost made it unusable. I didn’t have this issue with Checkmate.
Also when I would check an item about 20% of the time it would say “Skip” even though it put a check mark there (And I didn’t skip it) so it caused me to alway have to double check on things.
