No standard rate turns?

Seems HDG inputs result in an immediate course changes which is not realistic. Why not simulate a standard rate turn so we can practice intercepts and holdings with realistic wind correction and turns.

Thank you for the feedback! Please let us know if you have any more suggestions at https://support.flygo-aviation.com/.

Great learning tool!

Fantastic tool to help understand the navigation instruments. Really appreciate the “blind” practice exercices.

It's good for students start IR

It's really good for student. I got so much helped from this app.
But I hope you guys have LOC option. Because you know HSI has not reverse sensing with VOR but LOC. I wanted to test how HSI is moving with LOC.
If you guys offer LOC mode, I already knew your app will be the best choice for many students.

Great IFR tool for students

This is is a very nice tool for students to understand intercept angles. One suggestion would be to make Bearing to and course to station relative the the VOR1 and VOR2 so we’d understand how to pick the best intercept angle to get the the station/airport. Great app. Pilottraining.ca needs this tool!

Gentlemen, Start Your Timers!

For the two minutes that you get to try this before it wants $25 to continue, nice layout and format. Didn’t get to try anything else so I deleted it.

-UPDATE- It’s nice to see the company listen to the Feedback and adjust the timer accordingly.

Response from developer

Hello Micky, thank you for your feedback. We agree with you. Over the years, the app has grown a lot in features and complexity. However, the available time for the discount has never been updated to compensate for the extra time needed to discover all those new features. Because of this, we have just updated the app and increased the timer to 30 minutes. Feel free to give the app another shot and decide comfortably if it is right for you. Thanks once again for helping us with your review.

No time ...

You open the app and immediately hit with a countdown clock of like 3 minutes to buy at half price. On what planet can you look at the functionality of a brand new and extensive app in just 3 minutes to decide if you want to pay half price ... full price ... or any other discount? Cheesy marketing at its finest...!!!...

Dear NMay, Thank you for your feedback. We can understand how this situation can be frustrating to some and we will look for a different solution in the near future.

Very nicely done!

Fantastic tool for CFIs.
Didn't even know that it also works on my phone, somehow I thought this was an iPad-only app.

Might’ve been a good tool too short of a time to commit to buying

Response:If Customers can’t test the full capabilities of the app there is no way most customers would pay $25 for unknown functionality or performance. I am still interested in the possibility of the app and it’s training potential but with the extremely limited free app it is impossible to justify without additional interaction with the full app capabilities.

By the time I could even figure out the controls, and that half or more of the features were inaccessible without the paid version I had nowhere near enough time to decide whether the app was going to be worth the high cost of what I could do on my flight simulator. This unreasonable timeframe and trial obstacles just cost you a complete sale.

Response from developer

We can accept your reasoning and appreciate your feedback. From our side there were two options to choose from: a trial or a demo. Since trials used to be harder to enforce and easier to bypass, we settled with the demo option. This currently includes three free tasks, one fully functional VOR and RMI instrument and no limitations on use time, controls (speed and turn settings), cockpit mode, etc. Only the full customizability (such as wind options, runways, etc.) and more advanced tasks are put behind a 'paywall' among with the HSI instrument and the option to switch between instruments. Still, all the task previews can be reached within the app and we have screenshots, videos and descriptions about the remaining functions in the App Store and on our website. The purchase menu will be greatly improved in a future update that we already work on. We will add slides that'll make a better job at representing the features of the full version. _________________ Original answer: Dear Irritated dad, Thank you for your feedback. We are a little puzzled since there is no time limit for any of the features in this app. The free version is not a trial but a demo. Because of this, the functionality of the app is limited in the free version but the available features do not change with time.

Terrible

This company is just out to scam you out of money. Tried to resell me this app again in another one of their apps. I still haven’t got what I wanted. Save your money!

Basic package for a premium price

The technical difficulty in building this app doesn’t even qualify for 10% of their asking purchase price. It’s like going to McDonalds and paying $20 for a 0.99 cent cheeseburger!!

Inapp purchase

They try to get you to upgrade. Cannot change the OBS without the upgrade.

Why are the VORs always reverse sensing?

I thought only localizers do that?

I’m really satisfied

This contains all the major instruments and gives some help in case if you get stuck

Looks promising

Yesterday I downloaded this application and there’s so much to do and explore!

I’m glad I found this

I can randomly reposition the plane, it’s a real useful app!

Recommended if you want to practice the IFR procedures

This app is exactly what I searched for. Very userfriendly interface and really interactive functions.

FlyGo’s apps are the best

Combined with some other instructor apps it’s a very helpful if you want to practice

Helpful app for free

I think it’s very useful and have a lot of variable functions that you can choose. Every pilot should use such pilot simulator.

Worth the price

I bought the „All in one” pack and I’m very satisfied, the functions are helpful and the UI is very user friendly

Getting better and better

With the runway mode and trace mode it helps me a lot to understand the IFR aviation
