## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 2/5 — Good idea, doesn’t work

*2021-11-15*

The artificial horizon precesses badly, the air speed indicator and altimeter do not work at all. I only give it 2 stars because it doesn’t seem to track any personal data or show any ads.

### 4/5 — Nice but…

*2025-04-15, version 2.30*

So it was going well during my flight training until it said we crashed into the ground but we didn’t next second I’m in hospital so it is like 2 seconds off from the reality

### 5/5 — The artificial horizon just needs color

*2022-02-27*

But it’s five stars it’s really good

### 5/5 — Upside down?

*2021-05-29*

Forced into landscape mode, which is understandable. But the floating attitude indicators are upside down. 

Did I miss a setting?

### 5/5 — Used for my boeing 747

*2020-12-13, version 2.01*

I used this for my boeing 747 had around 300 passengers, my engine got hit by a bird and we slammed noes down into the ground, AND THE APP STILL WORKS VERY GOOD APP

### 5/5 — Precesses badly

*2019-08-05*

I’ve used this app several times on my iPhone 6S Plus (latest iOS) during several glider flights (Visual Meteorological Conditions). No matter the glider or where I place/secure/orient the phone during my flight(s), the Artificial Horizon (AH) begins to precess within 20-30 seconds. This precession continues until it’s completely useless. Pressing the “Alignment” tab resets the AH, only to have the precession begin again within 20-30 seconds. This issue really needs to be addressed/corrected before I will rely on this app as a backup to the aircraft’s instruments.

### 5/5 — Does exactly what it says.

*2019-03-24*

.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2018-12-19, version 1.11*

This is a great backup. Always good to have a double check system. 
Pity the colour version is that much more out of the pocket.
Nice touch is the Zulu time clock as well.

### 5/5 — Must have for pilots

*2018-08-29*

I really like the simplicity of this, and the fact that GPS speed can be scaled for wind direction. An app like this is a must have for all pilots. If you’re in IMC conditions and your heading, attitude, or airspeed indicators fail this will get you out of trouble.

I’d love to see a version that can connect to a Stratux.
