### 5/5 — Absolut empfehlenswer für Piloten

*2012-10-12*

Ich benutze die App regelmäßig zur Flugvorbereitung. Sie ist einfach und logisch zu bedienen und damit wesentlich beseer als die meisten Alternativen. Die App ist auf jeden Fall ihr Geld wert.

### 5/5 — Sehr zu empfehlen

*2012-07-31*

Ich benutze es bei jedem Flug

### 5/5 — Easy to use, accurate too.

*2012-07-08*

Love this app. I'm a virtual pilot and this app allows me to add significant realism instead of relying on the "make it too easy" aids in the sim.

### 5/5 — Aye, sound.

*2012-07-04, version 1.2.3*

Tidy smart like!

### 5/5 — Great for airliner

*2012-05-15*

It is very useful in the airplane and easy to use the FMS interface really  great idea and I like it , I wish they update it and add mor application

### 5/5 — Great

*2012-05-07*

I fly jet aircraft International and use your App all the time thanks

### 4/5 — PFMA

*2012-05-05*

Good app that does what It's supposed to

### 5/5 — Bonne application

*2012-05-04*

Simple et efficace je l'utilise régulièrement en vol. Ergonomie sympathique et facile.

### 5/5 — Excellent...

*2012-05-02*

Excellent, very useful app. for inflight unit conversions.... Keep improving.

### 5/5 — 很好用！

*2012-02-04*

攒一个

### 4/5 — Great Program

*2011-12-27*

Easy to user interface, accurate results, all it  takes is a little practice before trying it inflight. 
Would really like to see it support airport/facility codes to calculate distance and a page to retrieve weather info (metar, taf and winds aloft)

### 5/5 — Sure worth to buy

*2011-10-23*

I use it in the 737... For to main reasons... Time calc... Made simple... And the other is to calculate the vertical path. The airplane does a good job... But the calculations my instructor teached me make the airplane descent in a more constant path... To do mental calculations and fly the plane may be stressfull sometimes... Here is where the app makes the difference... Using the vertical profile calculator... Using the distance , altitude i have to be in the next waypoint, and glide angle, i get a precise altitude to be passing, and know if im to high or to low. Sure recomended!

### 4/5 — Nice program.

*2011-04-03*

Useful

### 5/5 — Private pilot easy

*2010-09-28*

This may be patterned after airline flight computers, but it is quite easy to use after a little reading of the online manual. There is a link to it right in the program. More importantly this is what an E6B computer should be... not a series of windows to choose the calculation, but 2 main windows to give you back and forth access that you would have if you were using a wizwheel. I have used at least 4 other apps and online webpages as well, but nothing compares to this. No more picking the "Heading, Ground Speed, WCA" when I meant to pick "Course, Ground Speed, WCA." With this app it's all in the same place and it carries over calculations between windows, which is very smart. Thank you TATA mobile.

### 1/5 — Не тратьте деньги на это!!!

*2020-12-12*

Абсолютно бесполезное приложение!!!
Верните деньги!

### 1/5 — Bad appli

*2010-07-18*

It cant compute each points of an orthodromic track

### 1/5 — Hi hopes dashed by poor product

*2009-08-14*

Doesn't take the place of my wizz wheel. Have tried to use it for the past several days and even had my instructor try to use. I feel like I wasted my money. I never write reviews but felt that my disapointment made this necessary.

### 2/5 — Desperately needs a manual

*2020-11-10*

New pilots need something to aid in learning how to fully use this handy tool. The website it links to for a manual does NOT exist.

### 2/5 — Update made it worse

*2017-08-20*

No update for 3 years and then it is updated for the 64 bit environment, but not for newer iPhone screens. The buttons look awkward because the whole screen is just stretched.
And it is still for iPhone only - no universal app.

### 2/5 — Junk

*2013-03-25*

This app is really nothing more than a whiz bang toy. Yes it is cool that it interfaces like an FMS, but can it do a knots to Mach airspeed calculation....no it can't. Don't waste your money.

### 2/5 — Good try - but more work needed.

*2010-02-17*

It's OK with a nice looking interface.  For flight planning, it works well for the altitude/airpseed functions and the wind calculation, but why is there no leg time calculation funtion?  To do this, you have to exit the app an go to the calculator and then you lose all the input data.  So you have to write the ground speeds down on a piece of paper and calculate them later which defeats the purpose in my opinion.  Also, the LNav page is a little confusing as it requires a 'Bearing' input - not course or track which has been calculated earlier.  And inputting LAT/LONG co-ordiantes is fraught with risk. Airline pilots rarely do it due to the errors it tends to generate. If this page is going to be useful in flight, it would need to interface with the GPS function. Otherwise, just use the stopwatch or your on-board GPS.

It seems this app is a gadget trying to look like an airliner's Flight Management Computer for PPLs who want to be airline pilots.  Semi-useful as a planning aid in it's current format, but needs more funtionality to perform the duties of the whizz-wheel.  It would be an unessesary distraction in flight.  It's expensive for what it is.

### 2/5 — nicht leicht keine hilfen

*2009-08-07*

naja für profis ganz nützlich keine anleitungen für das bedienfeld webseite nicht erreichbar schade

### 3/5 — Support Website Down

*2012-10-07*

Support webpage doesnt work and I cannot reach developer for coordinates entry. Otherwise, very nice app

### 3/5 — Goog learning tool

*2012-07-08*

So far, so good. It helps me learn.

### 5/5 — Only E6B app I need

*2023-10-08*

As a professional pilot I've been using this app since it came out. Tried others. This is the best!

Developer has an incredibly fast response time.

### 5/5 — Fantastic Cockpit Tool!

*2023-09-29*

Use it everyday. Highly recommended for all pilots. Thank you for the update!

### 5/5 — Best 10 bucks I have ever spent on an app!

*2022-06-28*

Straight forward E6B with a logical menu structure, easy and fast to use!

My go-to E6B everyday on the job!

### 5/5 — Very valuable for jet pilots

*2020-09-13*

Great app! Only app I‘ve found doing correct calculations for TAS and Mach, using OAT and IAT (= TAT = RAT) correctly.

### 5/5 — EASY TO USE

*2020-01-01*

No other words can explain this app. So easy to use and accurate

### 5/5 — Update needed

*2018-11-22*

Please consider having fuel required calculations

### 5/5 — No nonsense E6B

*2017-08-21*

PFMA has been my go-to E6B for several years. No complicated menu structure to navigate. Enter distance and time, PFMA tells you ground speed. Enter ground speed and time, PFMA tells you distance. 

Calculate density altitude, vertical navigation, pivotal altitude (under Rate of Turn), even cold temperature airport altitude corrections. 

Very glad to see a 64-bit version released.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2017-06-25*

Hey guys the app is amazing but please keep it up-to-date with the iOS so I can function properly and our devices

### 5/5 — It's very nice good

*2014-01-27*

Unbeleaveble amazing

### 5/5 — First Class!!!

*2013-03-13, version 1.2.4*

I'm a professional 767 pilot, and within 3 days of using this, I've deleted all of my other E6B apps. 

This is a well-thought out layout, and ANY pilot who has FMS experience will immediately understand how this works. The intuitive interface has multitude of choices. 

This is the only E6B-like app any pro pilot needs! Bravo! Well done!
