### 5/5 — All good

*2026-07-02, version 14.4.1*

An excellent tool to have

### 2/5 — taking away functions

*2026-06-05, version 14.3.2*

Taking away smart plates from IFR pilots and only providing them to the jacked up price of jep subscription :/

### 5/5 — App

*2026-05-24*

Excelente.

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2025-11-13, version 13.3.3*

This software is only getting better. Love the improvements

### 5/5 — A great app for flight planning and safety awareness

*2025-10-02*

I have been using OzRunways for about 8 years, and it is a really excellent app for flight planning, checking weather, and having the most up to date charts much more cost effectively than buying paper copies. 
In particular it is great that there is a high uptake of people using the app and broadcasting their position, from the RAAF to gliders, and your iPad will show other users of OzRunways and those with ADSB. It doesn’t remove the need for a good look-out but it is a great feature. 
The ‘pilot notes’ are great, particularly where they relate to fuel, and sometimes great places to stay. 
In addition I have really enjoyed designing flights all over Australia, some of which I have then done. 
I have now updated to the IFR subscription and anticipate that OzRunways will continue to be my go-to app for flight planning.

### 2/5 — Frustrating to flight plan

*2025-10-02*

Lots of brilliant stuff available, better access to features than Avplan. However, this company avoids making phone calls and hides behind an email address. At least with Avplan you can plan a flight from any point and select it as a start point. Oz Runways seems to have you start from wherever you are, eg suburban melbourne. Then you have to stuff around to delete your first leg. No start here available or obvious. Maybe there is a way, but it’s definitely not obvious. When you enquire, you get an email instead of a phone call, especially when you have requested a phone call. You need to do better !!!

### 5/5 — Add manual customisable checklists please!!

*2025-09-06, version 13.2.1*

Please add the ability to add customisable checklists to the app, integrate it in just how foreflight has done it , I’d much rather stay with OzRunways so please add it sooner rather than later in an update!

### 5/5 — Top Flight Planning App

*2025-08-07, version 13.2.0*

After spending many years in the airline industry where much of this work was done for you and you were really looked after, when I went back to my roots in GA I was somewhat reticent about how I would go about flight planning. A friend recommended OZ Runways and I have found it as good as anything that I have seen provided by the airline industry. It’s functionality is outstanding.

### 5/5 — Tom Garrett

*2025-07-14, version 13.1.9*

Just love it everything as at your fingertips with so much more to learn

### 5/5 — Tony Treefella

*2025-06-17, version 13.1.8*

Makes life easier when everything else is complicated cheers love OzRunways
