User reviews

No connection to X-plane

This will not connect with X-plane at all.

Not Happy

Terrible app, it crashes, does goofy things, won’t do the setup correctly, almost wish I had’t bought an Avidyne. Have uninstalled and reinstalled many times, no change!!!!!!!!

Response from developer

Sorry you had this experience! Have you contacted support @ techsupport@avidyne.com? Also, since your App Review, there’s a new IFD Trainer and IFD100 available. These have stability improvements that just may have resolved whatever difficulties you were encountering.

Crashes on startup

Edit: I opened a support ticket and received response the next day with a number of suggestions, none of which worked. I was then handed over to a more specialized tech and support moved to the avidynelive online forum. There, Gary was very helpful and together we worked through a number of possible solutions, even going through Apple with logs of what was going on when the app crashed. Turns out that there were some unexpected interactions with the IFD100 app and after uninstalling both the trainer and the 100 app then reinstalling both, they both now work. Excellent support.

App automatically updated to version 13.3.2.2. Ever since then it crashes right after starting. It shows "establishing communication", and immediately closes the app. iPados 26 on mini 5.
