The chart supplement has more than just the airport facility directory. It has sections on vfr corridors. Visual reporting points. VOR test locations. Important phone numbers...etc. ### 1/5 — Why? *2020-04-28, version 1.0.7* Instead of allowing people to install the app, install all of the airport charts and trying to get access to them only to find out that the only reason anyone would download the app is locked behind a monthly paywall; you should probably just charge money for the app in the first place. ### 5/5 — Subscribed: Won’t allow me to see Airport Diagrams *2019-06-30, version 1.0.7* I subscribed; the app won’t allow me to see the airport diagrams I purchased. I see others are having the same problem. I emailed the company rep who responded to one of the others having this problem, but so far have received no response. I’ll give it a few more days to see if they get in touch. But it will remain one star until they do. Update: The company contacted me and had me uninstall and reinstall the app. This solved the problem. The app itself is very useful to me for quickly accessing airport information. ### 4/5 — Subscribed but still locked out *2019-05-11, version 1.0.7* I subscribed to airport diagrams but am locked out. It keeps telling me I need to subscribe to open them. When select the subscribe the subscribe option it tells me already am subscribed yet I remain locked out. ### 5/5 — Suitable App *2019-04-07, version 1.0.7* Works great for X-Plane! ### 4/5 — Index *2019-01-11, version 1.0.7* Good app, but it seriously needs the legend! ### 2/5 — Would really like this app... *2019-01-08, version 1.0.7* If it would let me see all the airport diagrams. When it tells me to subscribe, which I already am, it responds with “you are already a subscriber”. Well, I still can’t view the airport diagram. Also, there should be a print function. I guess since a paid subscriber can’t view ant diagrams, I’ll just cancel and photo copy out of the old things you call a book. Thanks for taking my money without fulfilling your end of the deal. ## Frequently asked questions about PilotPal ### What does PilotPal do?
