Ap overall
Does a good job at explaining the process. When you get one wrong there should be an explanation as to why it was wrong so you can learn how to do it better.
Wrong Entries
As a CFII, I thought this app would be great for practice for my students but it turns out that the Entries are wrong for the turns. I do not recommend.
This app has mistakes!
I even sent an email to the developer and they did not respond. I have decided they know and dont want to fix this. The practice screen seems ok, but then the plan view is incorrect. It has wasted valuable time. Do not purchase!
Best Holding pattern trainer
Excellent tool. I wish I had found this app before. After battling with different methods. This has been the best , and easiest for me to learn about holdings and holding entries
Wrong answers
At first I taught myself through this app, but soon realized after watching several YouTube videos and getting CFI instruction I realized this app is drawing the direct, teardrop, and parallel entries in the wrong directions. They’re slicing the fix completely wrong which has caused me so much confusion. I am having to unlearn some things.

This will improve your Holds
This app is an amazing tool to practice constructing holds. Simple yet very effective. I’d highly recommend it to anyone learning IFR
Don’t Download
Don’t Download, very frustrating. Giving wrong answers.
Wrong info
The bearing questions are wrong. You’re supposed to apply the reciprocal track to the “pod”(70deg/110deg) used to figure out the hold entry. The app does not do that and gives you the opposite type of entry.
The VOR questions are fine.
The VOR questions are fine.

Great application!! Allows me to pre practice hold procedures prior to flight training sessions.
Great App
I was skeptical at first. But, I bought the app because the pilots café has an amazing IFR prep summary available for free. And seriously, with all the money we spend training in aviation the cost of this app is a no brainer. The app was extremely helpful for me in learning the pen method as well as drawing the hold. I think the holds are more difficult than would be experienced in real life. They often use radials and bearings, such as hold on the 347 radial. I think in real life you would get 340 or 350.
Thanks for creating this awesome app!
Great job, it has absolutely helped me.

Helpful for figuring out holding in your head
Fun app to practice figuring out holding in your head. I’m a retired airline pilot renewing my CFII. 5 bucks is a no brainer. Don’t let the negative comments deter you from buying this.
$5 I’ll never get back
Total joke. Question instructed me to hold S.E. of 155 radial left turns. Showed it to multiple commercial and CFI students and we’re all in agreement what the app is demonstrating is Southwest, not southeast. Total and complete waste of money. Just practice with a friend and learn to draw it on your own, it will be WAY easier to visualize and understand. It’s too bad, it could really be a cool product, but so far it’s just made my understanding of drawing and visualizing holds worse, not better. The hold entry demonstration is fine, but charging this much for something that’s only half accurate as far as drawing the actual holds go really pisses me off. I want my money back!

This app is perfect
My skills were rusting and I fixated on an approach plate that involved a course reversal. This resolved my confusion about using a teardrop or parallel entry. The old adage “…fly a lot or don’t fly at all…” still holds true. Great app! Thank you.
Very helpful!
This is app super simple to use and is a really good hold trainer for visual learners. I used this to get refreshed for IFR training and now as a CFII, I use it with all of my students and it has been a great tool to help them better understand holding clearances.
Great app. Too expensive
Perfect app for quick practice to make hold entries second nature. Their tutorial section should include more methods than just the one way of doing it. 4 stars only because it is $5
Perfect
I already hold a IR however I am 3 years rusty. After doing this for about 30 or so minutes I started getting these fairly quick. I do have a base knowledge already so keep that in mind.
Fantastic
Amazing app. Combine it with the knowledge. And the simple. Rule. That determining the outbound heading. North, South, Southwest etc is always there approximate outbound heading and you will be on the road to success.
Soon to be IFR rated!
I have been struggling with holding patterns for a while, this app gave me a boost, now I am gaining some routine, hopefully proficient by the next time I fly!
Great app!
I love this app for assisting with holds. My only gripe is I’d like it to work in portrait mode, so it’s easier to read on my kneeboard.
This is no good
I hate this up I have a better idea before I got till this app now got me all confused I agree the instructor is right this App can get you killed thay confusing all
