### 1/5 — It does not work

*2025-12-03, version 3.0.3*

My hopes was to use this to program the Gulfstream 550/650 in XPlane 12. Unfortunately, it did not work and I’m requesting a refund.

### 3/5 — アップデート

*2025-11-05*

FMSを学ぶ上で操作しやすく使いやすい。最新のチャートを見て入力したいので、定期的に経路をアップデートして欲しい。

### 1/5 — Not working with FS2020 and ZERO support

*2022-11-15, version 3.0.3*

It does not submit data to FS 2020; tried pmdg and Bredok3d’s version of the 737-800. Zero success. Reached out to the developer and got zero response.
This is a fraudulent listing for an abandoned, not working software.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!

### 5/5 — iFMS

*2022-10-30, version 3.0.3*

Absolute must have for flight sim, works great on MSFS 2020(beta) no impact on graphics card and I’m using 5 iPads great for inexpensive screens 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

### 3/5 — If only the developer cared about it

*2022-01-04*

This app could be so much better. There are many use cases this app can cover. Especially at a time when flight simulator are thriving. But here we have a pretty old still okay app that cannot hide its time ( probably created when older with much lower resolution). UI is 🤷🏾‍♂️… the only good news is that it’s still working even with all it flaws. It’s just need someone to care and update it.

### 5/5 — Airbus?

*2021-03-15*

This app is amazing no need to look in the virtual cockpit! Any chance you can do an airbus style? Would be great if you can.

### 3/5 — I need help with this

*2021-01-27*

I like this app very much but from my understanding for X-Plane 11 is that if you insert anything into the iFMS fmc it won’t appear on the mfd or fmc in game, I would love to know if there is a fix or if that’s how it is.

### 1/5 — Refund

*2020-11-21*

Can I have a refund please. I’m not impressed with this app at all.

### 5/5 — Great support and a great product!

*2020-07-16*

I humbly revise my review. My first review was harsh due to my frustration and impatience. But Michael responded with clear instructions and understanding. He took the responsibility to help me and has turned me into a fan for life! Thank you so much and thank you for a great app!

### 5/5 — iFMS

*2020-04-17, version 3.0.0*

I downloaded iFMS and have been very pleased with its functionality. I use iFMS
with FS2004 (FS9) and the moving map is smooth and I find the missed-approach
procedures very handy for FS9. The developer has been very helpful and I would 
highly recommend this product for anyone wanting an FMS for FS9 or FSX or Prepar3d.
