Usually apps get better over time
…but not this one. Each update produces a whole host of new bugs and resurrects old ones. Poor UI and UX. Incredibly unstable and nearly unusable without major workarounds.
Stay Logged In @ app
Any chance to fix this feature with the app - keep having to log in everytime even with box checked to stay logged in
Horrible!
NOT user friendly at all, just a burden on any pilot or scheduler to use! Appears to be compiled by an ignorant beginner, ordered by even more incompetent people who should not be working in aviation. STAY AWAY!
Pilot app
Works well, when the user is educated. Some faults, like all apps a work in progress. Far better than the competition.
Unbearably Terrible App
This is by far the worst application I’ve experienced on the iOS platform. The worst part about this app is that the team developing it seem either oblivious or apathetic to its failings. The only good thing about this most recent update is that documents that were always supposed to be available offline are now actually available offline. This was a critical bug since pilots need access to these documents when flying with no internet connection. So, good on the Levelflight team for fixing one bug that’s been present for years. Other than that, this update seems to be an exercise in applying lipstick to a pig. Most of the same issues present on every past version are still around, rendering this app infuriating to use. Constant crashes, file upload failures, and ridiculously poor design choices plague this application. Basic UI and UX fundamentals are totally ignored, making the app confusing and frustrating for even technically savvy pilots. It’s obvious from this apps behavior that the backend is an absolute mess. Please Level Flight team, stop trying to make this broken app prettier, scrap the entire code base, and start from scratch. Every pilot I’ve spoken to who is forced to use this terrible piece of software absolutely loathes it.

Gets Worse with Each Update
Constant crashes, glitches and bugs. Poor UI and UX. Absolutely terrible app.
Maybe Third Time Will Be The Charm …
Terrible app, terrible experience. UI is a mess, Backend seems to get ‘buggier’ with each update. Convoluted, unreliable and ugly execution of what could be a simple, streamlined interface. This app replaced their first app, which they abandoned. Maybe the third attempt will work.
Worst App for Pilots
First of all do not get this app And I do not recommend this to any company. This app is not Pilot friendly. Now I can’t even login to see my schedules which keep saying there’s an error. I wish there was a zero star if I could give it.
Will change review to 5 stars after bug fixes
Developers this review is mainly for you. I am a software engineer as well so if you need an extra pair of hands I would be happy to help. I have tested the post flight feature of the app. The new app is not a bad interface but in the pilot community it’s not being looked at as a working solution because of some bugs introduced in the new app. I will tell you about the two bugs I have found and if you can please fix these it would make my life a lot easier because as a SIC I have to put in the post flight data. Using the app would be best during the flight in real time because than I don’t have to go to the web interface on my computer later in the day. Once you fix these bugs I will change my review to 5 stars. Following are hopefully small fixes about integers and floating point numbers. This is about the post flight interface on the app and I will try to explain the bugs by relating it to the web interface. (1). When I put in the start and stop Hobbs in the app post flight interface, the text box only saves integer value, and not a floating point (decimal) value. If I try to save a decimal value than it will default it to 0.0 before saving. (2). This is probably related to above issue but I will make it a separate note. When I save the start and stop Hobbs on the web interface, the text box works as expected for decimals. However, when I look at the same post flight information on the app interface, I get the truncated integer value in the app. I do not see the decimal value that was originally put into the post flight web interface. Following is not a high priority for me but it would be nice to see a fix for this as well in the post flight app interface. (3). When I select the Approach Type as “Visual” on the web interface, it saves it on the web as I expected. But on the app interface when I open the same information, it shows as “Precision”.

Just Horrible
Unfortunately I’m forced to use this app for work. The developer needs to review basic UI / UX principles and consider starting from the ground up. Or better yet, the FlyCompliant team should hire a qualified developer to rebuild this app. I thought the original app “LevelFlight” was atrocious, but they somehow managed to make it worse with this application. It’s just as buggy as before, with constant crashes and glitches, and looks like it was designed by a high school student who’s still reading the first chapter of “The Swift Programming Language”.
