### 5/5 — Enormously comprehensive

*2026-07-08*

I’m relatively new to iflygps but the available features are more than impressive, it not only does all I want but adds features I do not have on my glass panel but wanted. It’s also easy to use and there are good how-to videos on their site. Highest recommendation.

### 5/5 — Adventure Pilot IFly

*2026-05-09*

I have used IFly since 2012 and will never switch to Foreflight. They continuously improve features and it has has everything and more than we need. It’s easy to use and also less expensive than Foreflight.

**Developer response:** Thanks for sticking with us since 2012! We really appreciate the support and are glad iFly EFB has been a good fit for your flying.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2026-04-06, version 14.0.57*

Love how easy it is to use and all the updates..

### 5/5 — My go-to flight planning  tool and moving map GPS

*2026-03-22*

I’ve been using iFly since it first came out, and it’s perfect for what I need.  It’s simple enough and easy to operate while flying, whether on mobile phone or GPS tablet.  “Nearest” airport has saved me several times.  I highly recommend it!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the awesome review! We’re glad iFly has been a reliable tool for you over the years, especially the Nearest feature. We really appreciate the recommendation.

### 4/5 — So far so good

*2026-03-08, version 13.3.53*

Coming from FlyQ. I like that I can pick and layout the instruments, which ones, which size, which color, and how they are organized.
The one thing I am not a fan of is the courseness of the sketching tools compared tomFlyq

### 5/5 — Nice assistant to my Dynon

*2026-02-18, version 13.3.53*

Works well and is a good value compared to other options.

### 5/5 — Makes flying less stressful

*2026-01-22*

I love how well the pilot interfaces with the IFLY EFB software. I found it much more intuitive than the other popular application out there. Cost was by far the most economical as well.  I learn more of its features each time I watch the many training videos available!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the great review! We’re glad iFly EFB has made flying less stressful and easy to use. We also appreciate you checking out the training videos.

### 5/5 — Exceptional value, resource and commitment to excellence!

*2026-01-06, version 13.3.53*

I’ve used iFly now for 14+ years.   Lost without it.

### 5/5 — Easy

*2025-12-19, version 13.3.53*

Easy to learn … fingertip control… quick response … fewer steps for nav and information … So much simpler with far fewer steps than foreflight 👍🎄🖖

### 5/5 — Full Featured Easy to Use

*2025-12-09*

Probably one of the least expensive electronic flight bag tools that provides features others charge double for. And, if you want to know something, or need a little help, you just pick up the phone and talk to the team who are supporting it. The company spend time with users and pilots all over the country - from EAA Chapter meetings, pancake breakfasts, or Oshkosh. No other application or development team provides this level of interest or direct support at such an affordable price.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the thoughtful review! We really appreciate the kind words and your support. Getting to work directly with pilots and hear from users like you is a big part of what helps us keep improving iFly.
