### 4/5 — Always helps us on our travels

*2024-12-29, version 12.4.8*

We love the app, have been flying a girocopter for yrs using it, & always have it on when travelling around our beautiful Aussie land.

### 5/5 — Suggested Update

*2024-09-26, version 12.4.2*

Could you please add the integration with Apple Watch back please. I would really find this helpful in many other ways like foreflight does. A live weather forecast update with METARs and tafs and a direct to waypoint would be very handy as backup.

### 5/5 — Enjoying

*2024-09-21, version 12.4.1*

Oz runways great to enjoy flying AGAIN

### 5/5 — The best electronic flight bag  by a mile

*2024-07-27, version 12.3.1*

I wouldn’t fly without OzRunways.. Easy to use and very reliable.. Thanks OZRunways it gets better each update..why would you use anything else..

### 4/5 — Privacy

*2024-07-10, version 12.3.0*

Problem with this app is it ask you to type in your email or name to log in
And you can type in random names and your in there account
With the name and email address 
Privacy isn’t the best …

### 4/5 — 3d - syntetic vision

*2024-04-15*

It is a 8/10 app. BUT, to be perfect you should have syntetic vision, for redundance!
  Can you tell me if it is going to happen and when?
I am from Brazil.

Best regards.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-04-03, version 12.2.2*

I have been using Ozrunways for a few years now.
It is constantly improving and being updated.

Love it!

### 5/5 — Currently Frequencies

*2024-03-28*

Recently had an IPad issue while flying back to WA (wait awhile) from SAAA AusFly24 at Wentworth. Emailed Rowan and was able to solve the problem en route. Know that instant response is not always possible but the team at OzRunways go all out for customer service and it’s appreciated.  Greg

### 4/5 — Scratchpad

*2024-03-26, version 12.2.1*

Is there a possibility to choose a finer pencil line when using the Apple Pencil? The existing line is quite thick which reduces the amount of space to use on the scratchpad.
Thank you

### 5/5 — Excelente aplicativo

*2024-03-21*

### 5/5 — OzRunways....very comfortable with its information.

### 5/5 — Great app even better support with help desk

*2024-03-06, version 12.1.1*

I’ve had all sorts of nav apps.
This nails everything I want and more.
I can’t say enough about the NZ support. Very helpful and always knows what is neede.

### 4/5 — DESENHOS TMA E CTR BRASIL

*2024-02-22*

Os desenhos das TMA e CTR Brasil estão desatualizados no mapa Brasil WAC com Airspaces, já reportei o problema via e-mail, o suporte responde mas não resolve. Desde Out/23 que solicito a correção e até agora nada foi feito. No mais, ótimo app, depôs que se aprende a mexer, é bem prático.

### 5/5 — Best software developer I have ever seen

*2024-02-05, version 12.0.4*

These guys are fantastic. Extremely good customer service and amazing proactivity in adding features. They also present freely at flyins etc. Pricing is also good value.10/10 from me.

### 5/5 — OZ runways

*2023-12-03*

I think it is the best thing since sliced bread as we say, it beat’s a cab full of maps with line’s drawn all over the place we’re you could spend most of your time looking at map lines and looking for objects on the ground to make sure you are on track and so not looking outside to often, at least OzRunways gives all the information right in front of you like boundaries and radio info, your track stands out like sour toe with great are coverage so you can’t get lost if you wanted too, and all the weather conditions are there to look at there is no need to put yourself in danger it’s all there. I think it is great thank you very much

### 5/5 — Review

*2023-11-15, version 11.1.10*

OzRunways has been an efficient Navigation and Aerial Guide, and has been accurate and Invaluable Aid to safer Transport.

### 1/5 — Waypoint posição errada

*2023-07-13*

Há alguns Waypoints em posições erradas. Não esta 100% confiável.

### 1/5 — Dreamin’ about my Garmin Pilot

*2022-03-15*

Dreamin’ about my Garmin Pilot and JeppView Charts, now that’s an febre

### 1/5 — Fala que é de graça mais não é🤮

*2021-12-03*

Detesto propaganda enganosa.
Diz somente que tem compra dentro do site. Quando você baixa o app ele é pago.

### 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 :/

### 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 !!!

### 2/5 — Unfortunately average

*2024-08-18, version 12.3.3*

Its very good as stand alone or for planes with analog instrumentation.   The lack of connectivity to systems like garmin G3X  is Unfortunately its lets down. I will not be renewing.

Printing  functionality for aerodrome plates is a 2 out of 10 at most. cant even print of a Mac  book. again I guess its constrained by licensing issues.

### 2/5 — This is a good program, but it’s not loading properly

*2023-08-30, version 11.1.5*

Unfortunately, AvPlan works flawlessly.

I can do IT support for Banks and multi national corporations.
Wasn’t wanting to do that for aviation- I just need programs that work reliably.

Hopefully they can lift their game

### 3/5 — Review in South Africa

*2023-11-22*

Maps are missing many smaller airports. 
Need more OzRunways airport guides with updated information 
Ability to file flight plans from app
Dropping custom waypoints does not place exactly where it is needed.  
Need OzRunways airport guiedes for countries touching South Africa.

### 3/5 — Cartas no mapa

*2023-07-05*

Poderia inserir as cartas de aproximação no mapa!

### 3/5 — Rotas

*2022-06-25*

Poderiam facilitas nas rotas gravadas colocando um modo que pudéssemos apenas invertê-las ao invés de ter que gravar uma nova rota de retorno.

### 5/5 — All good

*2026-07-02, version 14.4.1*

An excellent tool to have

### 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.

### 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

### 5/5 — Locating towns

*2025-03-22, version 13.0.2*

Be nice to have a search  ability to locate towns with out airports

### 5/5 — This Seems to be the Australia and NZ industry standard.

*2024-12-17*

But they are adding features all the time. Also, they seem to fix problems too. (They’re not like companies that keep adding features and not bothering to fix bugs.) Amazingly good.
