Doesn’t work

App doesn’t work - frozen at menu - cannot open anything.

New version update message

Every time you launch this app, you get a pop-up message saying there is a new version to download from the App Store. When you click update now, it just takes you to the App Store and there is no actual update. This has been going on for the better part of 2023. I really expected it to go away with this new March 2024 update, but it still has the same problem. I find it amazing that they cannot fix this bug for so long.

Update prompt every time is annoying

Overall pretty good app. Works offline which is a great feature.
Update prompt at every startup need fixed.

It works okay

It works fine enough, however the constant “new version update” message keeps popping up on app opening. select update now…just goes to the App Store …. Current version only….that is a pain. The weight and balance is pretty easy…depends on how accurate you are with the information sent to them. Runway analysis is a good feature and a must have for airports that are in question or high altitude.

The most essential tool available for jet performance planning

I’ve been an APG customer and iPreflight business aviation user since inception; the perfromance engineering staff behind this app are the best in the industry. Our company opperates 300+ jet aircraft and advocates all crewmembers use APG for every takeoff and landing, as do most commerical airlines.

The worst and last thing that should ever happen is to let ForeFlight anywhere near this product.
