Rubbish

Sorry to write this but it’s one of the worse apps to try and learn vor on . Once in test, you have no idea when test will be finished or what is happening . Good idea that you at least getting money up front , as I will be deleting this

Needs an HSI

A handy teaching tool for flying instructors. It could be improved by including an HSI.

Great app

Preparing for my first solo xc and wasn’t 100% w VORs. This app and a YouTube video, and I’m good to go.

Very good

Love this app, really good for practice & situational awareness

Great for CFIs and Students

I frequently use this application when teaching my flight students about VOR and ADF navigation. Thanks for making a great simulator!

basic but clever VOR & ADF training aid

App does an acceptable job of helping students visualize their position wrt to VORs & ADF. The test mode is a nice option. For reasons that aren't entirely clear to me, I initially had trouble getting the app to perform as advertised, but it seems to be fine now and is a helpful training aid.

Update

Funktioniert seit dem Update nicht mehr richtig, die VOR Radiale lassen sich nicht einstellen....

I like it

Sure it's simple but it is a handy refresher to test your awareness and ability to visualize your position given a random set of instrument reading presentations , very helpful for 6 bucks I reckon

Could be better

As usual it looks good but has areas that could have been thought out a lot better.
Should able to fine tune direction.
Should be able to turn heading of aircraft with heading indicator with out dragging it and again fine tune heading.
Very glitchy
Priced WAY too high, not worth it.
Please work on it some more then please send out an update

Gut

Guter Lerneffekt.

Terrible

Waste of $6, very basic and not very helpful

Great learning tool

I am working on my commercial license and my instructor has been on me about improving the time it takes to locate myself on the map. This app does a great job of drilling the user on that. It doesn't do much beyond that. It is much cheaper than simulator time.

Great app. Buy it!!

As a 20 year instructor, i find this app incredibly useful in teaching position awareness in relation to the instruments...even if u have the ratings it's great to review and practice. I would LOVE to see a few things, if there were a few sample chart tile which could be layered on screen ex a section, low level enroute, and a couple approach plates precision and non. That would make teaching and understanding the instrument understanding and position awareness much better. I like the grid supplied, but the option to overlay a small section of sample chart would be nice. You could then practice entry patterns approaches ect. Also being able to move plane around w finger is great!!! If u incorporated a short looping recorder with a simulated altitude adjustment slider, then one could simulate a route/step-down/ approach or holding pattern, and play it back and see the instruments change. Play back as often as you like until understanding of the instruments really sinks In.
All in all I do like this app a lot. For the price it's a steal. All pilots w iPad should get this just to brush up. Good job to the developer! Add the wish list features and I'd easily give it 5 stars!

Fun Little App

This app is a lot of fun to use to practice VOR and NDB navigation. It's very simple, but a very helpful and effective training tool. I would like to see DME included as a configurable setting in the future.

GREAT for seasoned private pilots, and student pilots!

I suppose this is not aimed at commercial or IFR pilots who should know this stuff inside and out, but VFR pilots that don't generally use instruments much, can get rusty....
...and students trying to wrap their heads around radio navigation will find this handy to help learn.

- this little app helps keep you sharp; why play a brainless game when you have 20 minutes to kill waiting for something or in a cab or on the train?
This is a perfect way to keep entertained in a constructive way, that could literally save your life if you ever find yourself with out a GPS while lost in deteriorating Wx!

I give it 5 stars because it does what it says it does, and this is a better study aide than many other methods I have used to stay sharp with radio navigation, which I have to admit I am not very motivated to think about.

Confused

I have no idea how this app works. Unless there is something not working it makes no sense to me.

Good training tool

This is a practical, fun self-training tool for navigation. Might even help somebody pass the IFR written, never know...

Very useful

As advertised. Great training aid for initial & recurrent IFR flying/exams for VOR & NDB work. Very easy to use.

very good trening

Nice Start!!

Nice start to a promising app. This is a great training tool for anyone working on their instrument ticket and who just needs to review visually what the the instruments will look like. As a pilot, we should always be training and instruments are one area that continually needs to be re-visited. This app should be added as one of your training tools.
