Good in general
Good but Overpriced
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
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
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
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.
Requires purchase
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback. Just to clarify, the app does include a free trial so users can explore it before any subscription begins. If anything was unclear or did not work as expected, please feel free to contact us at support@ifrsimulator.com.
Good App besides price
Response from developer
Thanks for the kind words and honest feedback. We understand the concern about pricing: keeping the app current and continuing to develop it takes ongoing work, and paid access is what makes that possible. We're confident it's worth it for IFR training, and there's a free trial so you can explore the full app before committing. Questions or suggestions are always welcome at support@ifrsimulator.com.
Almost really good
Cant use basic IFR functions
Response from developer
Tuning navaids and joining holds from Free Flight mode is supported, so something sounds off on your end. Please send us the details at support@ifrsimulator.com, including your device and app version, and we'll help you get it working.
Almost unable to use
Response from developer
We understand the concern about pricing. Keeping the app current and continuing to develop it takes ongoing work, and paid access makes that possible. We're confident it's worth it and a real help for IFR training, and there's a free trial so you can explore everything and see for yourself before committing. If you have questions, reach us at support@ifrsimulator.com.
Near perfect
I wish I had this as an IFR student
I definitely would’ve bought a plan and it would’ve made it so much easier (especially with unpublished holds which I sucked at lol).
Now I just use it to maintain my own proficiency when I’m not flying. Thanks for making this incredible app!
Response from developer
Really appreciate you sharing that, and glad the holding and intercept practice are useful for staying current. Unpublished holds trip up a lot of pilots, so it's great to hear the step-by-step approach helps. If you ever have questions or suggestions, reach us at support@ifrsimulator.com.
太贵了
Response from developer
Thanks for your feedback — we understand that pricing can be a concern, especially for students. We try to keep the core features accessible for everyone, while the premium version helps support continued development. We appreciate your input and will keep affordability in mind as we move forward. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out at support@ifrsimulator.com.
Absolutely brilliant
Great tool

MEIR Students Dream
Good app but extremely expensive
Response from developer
Glad the holding entry trainer is useful for your training. We understand the pricing concern: keeping the app current and continuing to develop it takes ongoing work, and paid access is what makes that possible. We're confident it's worth it as a training tool, and there's a free trial so you can explore everything before committing. For questions or suggestions on improving the holding trainer, feel free to reach us at support@ifrsimulator.com.
Amazing!!!
Needs improvement and more features
I’d highly suggest you tone down the speed minimum (maybe to 60?) so it can appeal to a wider audience… I’d guess that 90% of the people using this app are instrument students who fly airplanes that approach much slower than 80. I’d also really like to see a more intuitive departure algorithm, maybe it starts at 100AGL and 70 knots instead of 1,000AGL and 200? Or give the option to modify how it starts you. Not to mention adding fixes.
Or even a VERY BASIC “breakout” view. I tried to shoot an ILS and you can basically just descend into the runway until it tells you that you’ve crashed. Maybe at minimums a pop up appears that let’s you choose wether to land or to go missed.
Response from developer
Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate your insights and suggestions. We understand your concerns regarding the current speed limitation. In holdings and intercepts you are already able to lower the speed down to 90kt which will be added to Free Flight as well in a future update. Unfortunately, a breakout view is not possible as the app does not feature 3D graphics. But your suggestion concerning a landing or goaround popup are understood. Also, a radio altimeter is planned which will display the height above the ground. Furthermore, a goaround can always be initiated yourself by increasing the V/S to a positive rate. Your feedback is essential for us to enhance the app. Stay tuned for updates as we work to address these issues and improve your experience. If you have more ideas or feedback, feel free to reach out.
It was a great support for my IFR training.
