The best

Once i learned how the search feature function - go back one line - i found this app to be the best for me to reference regs and the AIM.

The update feature is seamless and quick.

The FAR quick find is a great feature .

Can’t always rely on this.

I love the UI, though as others have mentioned, searches can be erratic at times. I used to rely on this as a sole reference source. But my confidence has been shaken by just too many instances of finding the references in here are outdated and superseded. For a while they flagged changes with a hot link to an official e-source before they updated their entries. That was fine by me, but I haven’t seen it happening lately. If I have to keep checking with FAA or Cornell Law sites to be sure I’m reading the latest, it kind of defeats the the utility of this app.

Great product that needs some love

Pretty simple to use, but the UX needs some modernization: - Bookmark management from a single screen (drag and drop) - Automatic iCloud backup/sync - Reg collection presets (GA/FC/AMT, etc) seem to miss a few items and don’t allow multiple selections - Change identification - A Mac version would be great

Seemingly Abandoned

Great app until it was abandoned. There are 3-4 updates a year advertised. Nothing has come out since spring 2020.

Regulations are useless if out of date.

I haven’t tried paying for more info, but the app promises free updates for my original purchase.

AIM has not been updated since May 20, 2020.

This was a great app for the FAR / AIM, but lack of properly updating the AIM has made switch to another app. I emailed the company about this issue and received a reply on March 4, 2021. The company said that normally update the AIM once or twice a year but said they were running late on the 2021 update. The FAA releases quarterly updates to the AIM and I would expect an app to update with with the latest information.
