Enormously comprehensive

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.

Adventure Pilot IFly

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.

Response from developer

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.

Easy to use

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

My go-to flight planning tool and moving map GPS

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!

Response from developer

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.

So far so good

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

Nice assistant to my Dynon

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

Makes flying less stressful

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!

Response from developer

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.

Exceptional value, resource and commitment to excellence!

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

Easy

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

Full Featured Easy to Use

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.

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.

I like this app

I’m old school. 9000 + hrs. I fly Cessna 337 Skymasters. I’m a dealer so I fly these planes all over the country.
I’m not a big fan of flight following or flying IFR. Who wants to be told what to do and where to go all the time.
I love to just fly. Take my route see what I want to see.
This program is perfect. Easy and quick to use. Flight planning is simple.
You still get weather and the info you need and want.
I fly my plane hands on. Autopilot off and radios turned down when I don’t need them. I feel, I listen and I communicate with my aircraft. Charles Lindbergh didn’t have flight following or IFR. He just flew his plane hands on.
This app is perfect for old school real hands on flying while still giving you the info you need.

Review

Have used many EFB’s, including ForeFlight, IFLY is my hands down favorite.

Great Aviation App

I really like iFly EFB. Its pretty robust, works well with my Avidyne. Its easy to use and importantly they don’t nickel & dime me for added features like geo referenced charts. Also they actually pick up the phone when you call and give you personal attention if you need support.

Custom waypoints

Over the last several years ,I have flown all the lower 48 states. During these flights ,we added custom waypoints . They give us at a glance , restroom stops , fuel stops ( we use Mo-gas, and that is hard to find in some areas ) . We also have courtesy cars and hotels. Now when we plan a flight , we can quickly plan stops. We love this app! It is intuitive and fast. Our negatives on the app is that it doesn’t, give mo-gas locations, and the FBO info all needs updated. we have found more times than not , it to be inaccurate. So we land and then create custom waypoints info. Foreflight has better FBO information,but it costs too much and is more distracting to use in flight. This app could use a pilot entered fuel update tab , like Waze has, to enter current fuel options and prices at each stop.

Response from developer

Thanks for the detailed feedback! We’re glad custom waypoints have been useful for your trips. We’re always looking for ways to improve airport and FBO info, and the pilot-entered fuel update idea is a great suggestion.

Best Flying Software on the iPad

I have been using the "other" flying software for decades, in a jet, in smooth air, with the autopilot on. When I park the jet and hand fly my Swift, I use iFly EFB.

iFly EFB is amazingly intuitive. It works the way you would expect it to work. It makes planning GA flights simple. Its greatest strength, where it excels over the others, is how usable it is the cockpit. No straining to see tiny text or use small buttons. It simply is easy to use even on the bumpiest flight.

I have been flying with iFly EFB for ten years in my Swift. I wish I could take it to work in the jet they pay me to fly.

Thanks for the great review! We’re glad iFly has been easy to use in the cockpit and a good fit for hand-flying your Swift. We really appreciate the 10 years of support.

Great app

Stable easy to use app. Slowly beginning to use features like weight and balance, and checklist.

Favorite av app

Have used it for a couple of years and it has performed great. Have never had any issues in flight.

Ugly but full featured

Works well - interface that feels 1995. But endearing. Walter the president of the company is great. Great features. Very configurable. They listen to feedback.
