### 3/5 — Where’s the scratch pad?

*2025-12-07, version 8.39.0*

They promised a scratch pad MONTHS ago. ……  I cant find it.

### 4/5 — Quite decent

*2025-12-01, version 8.38.3*

Great app that helps a lot with charts,airport info and much others especially with simbreif feels just like a msfs version as “Foreflight” only “upset” is that I play msfs on Xbox and sim link isn’t available for it other than that a 10/10 App:)

### 4/5 — Great software

*2025-07-12, version 8.38.3*

This is a fantastic resource for aviation enthusiasts. It is a huge database of charts and airport information, collected into a user friendly, streamlined program.

### 2/5 — You need a subscription to use the app

*2025-03-09*

So I’m a full time flight simmer and I always need charts to realistically navigate around airports and airspaces. However, to use this app, you need the unlimited subscription which is overpriced and not really worth getting just for charts

If you want charts and plates might as well just searching one up online instead of buying the subscription, it would be a great app and such a headache saver if it was free or just cheaper.

**Developer response:** If you would like to use Navigraph services for free, you will need to take out an initial subscription which can be done for one month, then you will have access to an AIRAC cycle which you can use with the free subscription. 

We do need to charge as Navigraph encompasses an EFB and Simbrief flight planning suite. Sure, you can use free charts sourced from AIP, however, Navigraph uses Jeppesen charts, keeps everything together tidily and updates automatically with the 28 day cycles.

### 2/5 — Way overpriced for what they offer.

*2025-02-23*

I’ve been using navigraph for years now, I finally got the newest iPad Pro M4 this year and it’s incredible. I downloaded navigraph on it but it comes with so many issues. For one it randomly just closes my app while I’m flying and usually on short final which is a massive pain in the a*s if I need to pull my taxi charts up right after landing. Number two my route doesn’t always load in when I upload a flight plan and then I have to restart the app 3-4 times before I see my route on the map. Number 3 weather outside of the U.S. is much harder to get, there is no ATIS if vatsim is offline and you have to use a METAR that sometimes isn’t even available. Number 4 on my web browser navigraph I no longer have the option to get moving maps as it claims that sim link isn’t running, yet it works perfectly well with my iPad. (This issue started randomly). There have been cases where simple RNAV approaches were not available in my charts, which is quite pathetic as I pay so much for this add on per month. You need to be releasing more updates and start working on getting ATISs for every airport please, this is ridiculous I pay this much and it’s not updated as much as it should be.

**Developer response:** We're sorry you are having these issues. I would recommend you post these on the forum as it is easier to keep track of, reproduce and answer.

Thanks, Navigraph Support

### 5/5 — Navigraph

*2025-01-30*

Excellent app for immersion.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much!!

### 5/5 — Great app ✈️

*2024-12-31, version 8.37.1*

Great addition to track aircraft in your simulator, highly recommend

### 5/5 — Might just be the best app to ever exist

*2024-11-09*

It’s just so useful I can track my flight when I’m not home🆗

**Developer response:** We are happy you like it! Thank you so much. Kind regards, Navigraph support

### 5/5 — Amazing, detailed, enjoyable app!

*2024-10-26, version 8.36.0*

I tried this app for flight planning on a new watch that supports it. I also like to visualize long journeys in terms of the airspace and aeronautical waypoints along the way. This app is incredibly versatile and permits every kind of navigation solution you might ever need. Then I discovered SIMBRIEF.  Well, if I was impressed before, that just bowled me over. I’m definitely sold on this toolset for ALL of my flight plans and navigation solutions. Thank you for a very useful and well made resource!  PK

### 5/5 — LOVE NAVIGRAPH BUT

*2024-10-26*

NAVIGRAPH is the best the only thing we are missing is the live traffic !! We need to see other planes on our charts and world

**Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your kind words! We are really happy you like it.
Soon, you will be able to display VATSIM and IVAO traffic on our different maps. Stay tuned for more info! Kind regards, Navigraph support

### 2/5 — Idk about this

*2024-10-13, version 8.36.0*

I bought the subscription and I can’t track my flight on my iPhone from my Xbox because it says I need a simlink but I can’t find that in my App Store

### 4/5 — I cannot connect to Simbrief

*2024-08-02*

Hi, this is an amazing app for MSFS, however I cannot login to Simbrief. Whenever I try to it says “Your account is already verified” preventing me from being able to use Simbrief. If a developer can tell me how to login to Simbrief without it doing this, that would be great. Thanks!

**Developer response:** Hi, 
We are sorry to read that you are having issues. 
Please send us an email to account@navigraph.com and our support will assist you with this. Kind regards, Navigraph support

### 1/5 — No Moving live map features

*2026-06-13*

iPhone review. Moving map features are no longer working. Individual charts can still be viewed however

**Developer response:** Thanks so much for the feedback! Please create a post on our Technical Support Forum so we can look further into the issue.
forum.navigraph.com
Thanks!

### 1/5 — Why subscribe

*2025-07-21, version 8.38.3*

I would like to give this a negative rating, if you need to subscribe just make it so you pay for app but no subscription with same feats but now I had to waste my time trying to look for a proper navigation chart.horrible. I have no clue

### 1/5 — It’s not free

*2025-06-24*

The company offers a free app that basically only logs you out of your account.
But first, you have to provide personal information just to find out that you need to pay for the service.
I do not recommend it and believe Apple should remove such apps with hidden subscription .

**Developer response:** Hello,

Thank you for the feedback however we do not hide that Navigraph is a subscription based service. We even market that, with a free account, you will even have access to Simbrief.

I do appreciate the feedback though.

Thank you again.

### 1/5 — Subscription only!

*2025-05-06, version 8.38.3*

This app was exactly what I was looking for, but it needs the Navigraph subscription! I know it is much to have the Jeppeson charts, but if there was a non-chart creation, this would be the best app for flight sim!!!

### 1/5 — I’d rather have ForeFlight

*2025-01-26, version 8.37.1*

This app isn’t great. It’s poorly optimized, crashes on almost every flight. The live act function causes the app to stutter and lag.

### 1/5 — Requires navigraph subscription

*2024-12-29, version 8.37.1*

Has no functionally at all unless you subscribe to navigraph. Com for $10 month!
No thank you

### 1/5 — Pay Wall

*2024-10-22, version 8.36.0*

Subscription base app.

### 1/5 — Sub required

*2024-07-11*

Needs the subscription to use

**Developer response:** Hi! Navigraph needs to charge a subscription fee to cover the license cost for getting Navigation Data and charts from companies in the professional aviation industry. If you have any questions you are welcome to send us an email to account@navigraph.com. Kind Regards, Navigraph Support

### 1/5 — Forcing Payment

*2023-11-17*

When I create an account, it then tells me I need a monthly subscription to be able to use the app. What is the point in making the app free if you are forcing charges anyway? This app does not deserve 4.9 stars. Disappointed.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback and sorry to hear that you are disappointed. Navigraph needs to charge a subscription fee to cover the license cost for getting Navigation Data and charts from companies in the professional aviation industry. Kind Regards, Navigraph Support

### 1/5 — No way to create account.

*2023-10-03, version 8.30.0*

I installed the app. It asks me to sign in but doesn’t give me any way to create an account. 
Apple iPad.

### 5/5 — An excellent app. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

*2026-01-02*

I genuinely can’t believe how excellent this app although I do with it was compatible with Xbox but other than that all features  are excellent can’t wait to use this amazing app in the future and can’t wait to see the potential of this excellent project. Thank you so much for the recent support.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the kind words! We are working on a solution for moving maps with Xbox and PS5. We're not quite there yet but we will find the solution!

### 5/5 — Navigraph

### 5/5 — Excellent for training

*2025-04-15*

I am impressed of how good this app is. Amazing. I regularly use foreflight for my ga flights, but this app however is very well designed and love the fact that it contains jeppsen charts for training use in the sim.

**Developer response:** Thank you very much! We're so glad you are enjoying the app!
