First takeoff out of FTW (Ft. Worth Meacham) it told my wife that we had returned to the airfield 5 minutes after takeoff, when in reality we were at FL240 and climbing. It’s done this on basically every flight so far, or, it just completely cuts off tracking in the middle of a flight and says we landed and sends her a text message, but we haven’t actually landed. It’s made my wife more nervous thinking something happened than giving her a piece of mind. So, until this app fixes the high altitude capability, I won’t be using it anymore. Thankfully I was doing the free trial and didn’t pay for it. ### 3/5 — Sometimes doesn’t work *2026-07-03* The app is a great idea however it does have some bugs which I’m willing to tolerate as they develop the software. The best part is the text messaging to two emergency contacts; suggestion : added contacts should be allowed to get those text messages to more people. ### 4/5 — Review required to register *2026-06-20, version 4.0.8* Review required to register. Not sure what I’m supposed to recommend if I haven’t used it yet? ### 2/5 — Great concept but doesn’t track my flights *2026-06-14* Great concept. I’ve tried using the app and it is not tracking my flights. When I first downloaded the app it tracked my flight but wouldn’t stop the flight when I landed. I flew multiple legs, then drove home. It still showed me flying on my drive home. Now it won’t track my flights at all. I’ve tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. I’ve tried to contact support but they are slow to respond, it took 5 days to get a response. ### 3/5 — Great app *2026-06-10, version 4.0.7* Love the concept, idea and design of the app. Features works flawlessly. However the battery usage is rather high while not flying and during flights. It drained 65% of my battery on a 3 hrs nav. And 10% background while on days I’m not flying ### 2/5 — App is unusable *2026-06-08* App is now unusable since a few updates as it asks for home airport and it cannot be selected so cannot go though the process of accessing the app that was working well before. Also no way to contact support as email and website are down ### 3/5 — Flight Tracking *2026-06-05* I enjoy the app in theory, but I just had to delete the app and redownload it because the flight tracking never registered the end of my flight. There is no manual override to end a flight in the app as far as I could find. Turning off location services also did not end the flight tracking. It seemed continually frozen in the background on my phone lock screen and island, even closing the app did not end it. ### 3/5 — Battery Drain *2026-05-30* Cool idea of an app but if you’re using the app to automatically track your flights and notify your friends when you fly it will kill your phone battery. If they can fix the battery drain issue it would be an awesome app ### 4/5 — Great app but… *2026-02-20, version 3.10* The subscription is not worth it, the 3D map and GPS tracking has never worked for me. ### 2/5 — Great Idea, Growing Pains *2025-10-30* This app is a great idea for pilots, It doesn’t take long to see that it is riddled with development issues. Be in poor UX design, or bugs within the app. I would love nothing more then to see this app flourish and to see more users use it. I’m not sure how quick the development is on the app but it definitely needs work. ### 5/5 — Love the app! *2025-03-12, version 2.6.2* Love the app! My son uses it when he flies! I get notifications and can follow along his flight…gives this mom a little piece of mind! Thank you for designing it! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2025-02-13* This is such a unique way to connect pilots. I enjoy the social media feel of it, and really hope more people continue to download it! I really would like to see this app become a mainstream media for pilots. My favorite aspect is the cute details! “NOTAMS” for my notifications, the prop spinner for “giving props” ;) , and the cute head set button to comment! I also enjoy seeing everyone’s collective hours, and how it’s put into ranking. It’s really neat to see how much others fly! Over all I really hope this app continues to grow, im really considering subscribing once I try it out some more :) ### 3/5 — Super Buggy *2025-01-24* Cool app in theory but rarely works how it should. I have yet to be able to actually have an upload profile picture stay on my profile. Every time I'm trying to make a post I'm unable to select the type of aircraft. In general a lot of features are just broken. ### 5/5 — ! *2025-01-12* so glad to finally see this kind of app come out and and make pilots connect more easily ! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Doesn’t log flights *2026-06-14, version 4.0.7* I’ve tried all settings on the app and non of them give me constant flight logs. Canceling my subscription today. ### 1/5 — To expensive *2026-05-27, version 4.0.5* Like every other instagram app, they make you answer 1000 question, so at the end you have to pay an expensive subscription ### 1/5 — App goes black after launch *2026-03-05, version 3.10* Tried to sign into my account, then when I open the app, it just goes black. Uninstalled and reinstalled, restarted the phone, still the same issue. Waste of space. ### 1/5 — Rip Off! *2026-01-25, version 3.10* Says absolutely nothing about a monthly fee. Once you waste your time creating your account, uploading your picture, writing out your bio and everything else that goes along with it, THEN it tells you it’s $9.99 per month! What a waste of time and now I’m just ANNOYED!! ### 1/5 — Just doesn’t work *2025-07-03, version 3.1* When I open the app I get a black screen! That’s it! I’ve deleted and redownloaded a dozen times. I have a new iPhone so it’s not an issue with my OS or anything. Really sad because this app is exactly what I need. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-02-24, version 2.5.3* App loaded, but every time I tried to register it failed at the verification code step. Received the code, but said it was expired when used. Then the app refused to even open. Nothing but a black screen. ### 1/5 — ??? *2025-01-12, version 2.4.1* Only option to create an account was through Apple and when I did it repeatedly froze on the login screen. Never got to even see the actual app. ### 1/5 — Too pushy to get you buy premium *2024-11-23, version 2.3.1* “Buy premium” dialog pops up after every action in the app, highly annoying. Sole reason for deleting the app ### 1/5 — Not free as indicated? *2024-10-06, version 2.1.1* Sadly deleted app before using, nothing available except 7 day free trial, not even a decent preview ### 1/5 — Trash *2024-03-13, version 1.1* Ads-b manual look up doesn’t work. Basically trying to make you purchase the functionality. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best aviation app *2026-06-08, version 4.0.7* Probably the best aviation app on the App Store. It’s a great spot to meet and talk to other pilots. The tracking is also spot on and super fun to use ### 5/5 — Awesome Tracking App *2026-05-27, version 4.0.5* Great App! Helps my family keep track of me since my aircraft don’t have a public ID. As well, fun to share flights with other fellow pilots. ### 5/5 — love the new update *2026-05-16, version 4.0.1* every update makes this app better and now that’s it’s completely free it’s so good. the new map page is really nicely designed and i’m looking forward to see what’s next! ### 5/5 — Buggy, But Awesome *2026-05-09* This app serves as an excellent “social media” platform for pilots, however, some of the displayed features are buggy and/or don’t work. Watching flights back via the “play” button, only shows a black screen and displays altitude changes. The 3D display does not work. All other features are great and I use the app regularly to log my flights in addition to my physical/digital logbooks. I’ll drop a 5-star review once the bugs are sorted out! ### 5/5 — Finally a connection *2026-02-22* I’ve been looking for a way to connect more with the aviation community and share cool stories. This is exactly what I was looking for ### 5/5 — Hangar *2026-01-29, version 3.10* Amazing ### 5/5 — Great App *2025-12-29, version 3.9* Pretty Cool Social app for pilots ### 5/5 — Sweet *2025-10-25, version 3.6* Super easy and simple to set up so far so good ### 5/5 — Finally *2025-10-03, version 3.1* A way for General Aviation Pilots to connect ### 5/5 — so cool! *2025-03-21, version 2.6.2* such a cool app! just a small bug where you go to edit your profile, there is no button to 'save' --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
