User reviews

Good in general

The app is good in general, but it positions your aircraft a,ready aligned with the solution. I wish it was giving you random positions and you would have to figure out how to set up your instruments yourself.

Good but Overpriced

Yes it’s a good app (although a bit out of date referring to NDBs and VORs. But way overpriced for why it is. Why is even a subscription? Subscription apps are for where information is constantly changing or updating. $5 per month just to be able to use it is crazy.

Response from developer

Thanks for the honest feedback. Keeping the app running on current devices, maintaining real-world navdata, and continuing to develop new training features is ongoing work, and the subscription is what makes that possible. We genuinely believe it's worth it as a training tool and that it's far cheaper than even a single sim session, but there's a free trial so you can weigh that up for yourself before committing. If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to reach out at support@ifrsimulator.com.

3/5

very helpful for practice, but some essential features are only available for premium subscribers...

Response from developer

Glad to hear it's been helpful for practice. Keeping the app up to date and continuing to develop it takes ongoing work, and paid access is what makes that possible. We're convinced it's worth it for IFR training, and there's a free trial so you can explore everything before committing. If you have problems claiming the trial, please reach us at support@ifrsimulator.com and we will help you with that.

Review

Fantastic way to experiment and visualise the initial IFR manoeuvres. Solid updates (modern vs traditional instruments) and additions of new exercices (dme arc)
10/10 would recommend for practice and visualisation

Response from developer

Really glad the DME arc trainer and the switchable instruments are hitting the mark for you. Thanks for the kind words and the recommendation, they mean a lot. If you ever have suggestions for what to add next, drop us a line at support@ifrsimulator.com.

Terrible

Not only is this app terrible, but after using several apps for my flight training over the past few months, I recently realized that the developer blatantly copied (and did a poor job of it, by the way) the website of ATC One. As a developer, that’s extremely unprofessional. I’ve already reported this to the original app’s team.

As a CFI, I would not recommend this app to anyone—especially considering the creator’s lack of integrity in copying others’ work. It seriously calls into question whether this app was built by real pilots at all, which makes it even less trustworthy.

Response from developer

The copying claim is incorrect. IFR Flight Simulator was developed independently and has been on Google Play since 2017 and on the App Store since 2022, which predates the app referenced here. The two apps also cover entirely different subjects: IFR flight procedures versus ATC radio communication. We encourage anyone interested to try the app and judge it on its own merits.
