Inoltre le durate dei voli sono sempre completamente sbagliate. Insomma, occorrono diversi aggiornamenti per renderla sempre più performante al pari di altre applicazioni di flight tracking. Grazie mille e buon lavoro! ### 2/5 — Crash e altro *2026-01-17, version 6.3.0* La utilizzo su iphone. Crash in continuazione, parti di menu sono fuori schermo, molti bug. ### 3/5 — Update spoiled trips *2026-01-09* No longer to import trips from LIDO or paste in any other way. Format not recognised. Used to work. Please fix. **Developer response:** Thanks for flagging this, Brian — you're right, and pasting/importing flight plans (including LIDO) is meant to work, so we're treating this as a regression. If you could email a sample of the LIDO string you're pasting to support@pilotsatlas.com, it lets us reproduce it exactly and get a fix into the next update. Sorry for the disruption to your trips. ### 4/5 — Crash *2024-03-26, version 5.24.0* After the last update application shuts down in few seconds. ### 2/5 — Nicht vergleichbar mit der Papierversion *2021-04-12* Ich hatte mal einen offline Atlas von National Geografic, der war echt gut, weil er offline funktionierte und auch viele Details besaß. Leider sind die ganzen online tools nicht wirklich nutzbar im Flug. Somit haben sie auch nicht viel wert. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das Feedback. Die App ist stetig in Entwicklung und Feedback ist sehr willkommen. In der Zwischenzeit ist auch einiges passiert, der eine oder andere angesprochene Punkt hat sich weiter entwickelt. ### 2/5 — Waste of Money. Very expensive *2020-09-12* All the downloaded content disappeared. And the restore functions disappeared. Now especially with Jep FD these days and the VFR chart, this is of not much use. Please help me the restore. I have already spent more that $100 on this app. And it has disappeared ### 3/5 — Stops working *2020-02-28, version 5.6.2* App crashes upon opening, pls get it fixed. ### 3/5 — Good content but really poor user interface. *2019-11-24, version 5.5.3* Good maps but Very confusing and not user friendly ### 3/5 — Database incomplete *2019-10-01, version 5.5.1* This app is really amazing but it lacks basic features (route entry with airways, translucent wax overlay, device adapted UI, ...). Although the database is quite extensive, it’s not the most recent and major airports are missing. GOBD international airport opened in Dec 2017 and is not yet available. Nevertheless I used it on all my flights! ### 2/5 — App freezes all the time *2019-06-29* This app is pretty useless as it freezes all the times. You have to close it completely, restart and pray that it will work for a few minutes... ### 1/5 — Double charge when I upgrade my iPad. *2019-06-08, version 5.3.0* It charges me for the second time when I install it on my new iPad with the same login ID!!! ### 1/5 — Frozen tooooo much *2019-05-18* I use the app for a long time , it always has been great but recently the app has been getting frozen 100% of time whenever I use the new maps, beside the app keeps informing me that i have the classic version even after the downloads. Any update coming soon ? ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2019-03-29* The downloaded charts keep disappearing. The dowload section has a sketchy interface and does no justice for the money being paid. Best avoided. ### 3/5 — Still loses all my purchases *2019-03-23* Despite updating this app and claimed bug fixes, I still have to re-download over 24gb of maps just to use the blasted thing. Used to be really good, but now it’s just frustrating ### 3/5 — Almost there *2019-03-19, version 5.1.2* Would have rated higher if I was able to center the map in the centre of the South Pacific. Currently I have to scroll from right to left to see some of the islands in the pacific. ### 2/5 — Unable to access the charts inflight. *2019-02-17, version 5.1.2* Each time I ask for for my charts inflight, the app asks me to restore my profile making the charts unavailable. Did contact the developer and nothing has been done so far after more than 2 weeks. ### 1/5 — Nice Idea, but too Cumbersome *2018-12-17, version 5.0.0* Buggy interface, enormous regional downloads and incomplete/obscure subscription information make the app virtually unusable for any pilot. It's a shame, it has a lot of potential, but it looks like it was rushed out to the app store before it was ready. Hope for a better, more useable, version in the future. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App in crash *2025-11-03, version 5.33.0* Ho acquistato la versione Europa e Nord America. Il mio iOS è aggiornato, ma l’app continua a crashare dopo un secondo dall’apertura. Ho provato a disinstallarla e re-installarla più volte. Nulla. Soldi buttati. ### 1/5 — Könnte, ist aber nicht *2025-03-15* Vor 20 Jahren hatten wir alle die Papierform im Koffer… Die elektronische Form lässt mehr als zu wünschen übrig. APP stürzt beim zoomen ab. Reproduzierbar! POI wird langsam besser.. allerdings hat Jeppesen mit dem letzten Update mächtig aufgeholt. Und wie in Rezessionen vor 11 J geschrieben, Landsteile werden in lokaler Sprache beschrieben. Siehe China. Wie kann man da eine Durchsage machen. ? Inzwischen benutzen einige Kollegen Maps.me. Also für den Preis, sollte es auch funktionieren. **Developer response:** Vielen Dank für das ausführliche Feedback. Der reproduzierbare Absturz beim Zoomen liegt an der Kartendarstellung — dafür haben wir eine gezielte Korrektur, die in einem der nächsten Updates ausgerollt wird. Ihren Punkt zu Ländernamen in Landessprache (z. B. China) nehmen wir ernst; für Funksprüche muss das eindeutig sein. Und ja — für den Preis muss es funktionieren, da haben Sie recht. Schreiben Sie uns gern an support@pilotsatlas.com, wir bleiben dran. ### 1/5 — OBSOLETO *2023-11-15, version 5.21.0* Grafica e software di 20 anni fa ,quasi inutilizzabile. ### 1/5 — Paid twice *2021-05-31, version 5.13.0* I paid already years ago for the full version, and now it’s asking again for payment for single areas download. Unacceptable ### 1/5 — Stopped working *2020-07-18* Stopped working after most recent update. Screen freezes at cloud features splash screen. Do you test your software before releasing? ### 1/5 — not working any more *2020-04-20* I bought the charts for the app a while ago. now they are not working at all. **Developer response:** Sounds like an individual problem. Please contact me at info@absolutezero.de. I will investigate and find a solution. ### 1/5 — not working any more *2020-03-21* Bought the subscription years ago, now with the “new” vector maps it’s no longer working at all! **Developer response:** Your purchased features are fully supported and maintained. Maybe you disabled them and see the newly developed map only. Please go to the Store-Tab in the app and tap an "Show ClassicMap". This toggles the MainTabBar-Icon to access the old ClassicMap. ### 1/5 — Has become useless recently, money grabbing and buggy *2020-01-07* I bought this very expensive app so that I could have a Worldwide flight atlas to use offline in the cockpit. They have now brought out new mapping that is a new very expensive subscription based system with mapping files so ridiculously large that I can only fit individual parts of the World on my iPad so of no use to me. Every time I open the app now to use the classic mapping it hassles me to buy the subscription I don’t want. I already paid a lot of money and don’t want to pay a subscription as well to have 300GB of files on my iPad. I have no idea why the files are so big but only have a need for simple mapping for use when I am flying. The App is for pilots who need offline mapping - we do not have super high speed internet whilst in the aircraft! The developers are totally clueless about their customer base. No means no so stop asking me to buy the subscription - I already paid for offline maps. Will cut my losses and delete this app. Money wasted. And what the hell is Vector mapping? ### 1/5 — Contant pop ups *2019-10-18, version 5.5.2* Latest version makes pop ups every time you open it to tell you to pay more and buy the next version. ### 1/5 — Captain Bbbot *2019-10-15* Used to love this app Used it all the time With the latest updates It is almost worthless to me Sorry but I don’t like anymore ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App is CRASHING *2024-01-15* I downloaded, purchased a atlas pack for Asia and it’s just crashing continuously! Earlier I had purchased for the world too. Feeling of wasted money! ### 5/5 — International Aviator - Outstanding! *2019-09-24* This app is absolutely great for research and planning. ### 5/5 — Great app *2019-05-20* I use this to help me identify landmarks etc when I’m flying about. Love it. ### 5/5 — Meine einzige private App auf dem dienstlichen IPad *2017-08-25* Im täglichen, beruflichen Gebrauch für Orientierung und Umrechnungen. ### 5/5 — For pilots *2017-06-05* Very good key for flying ### 5/5 — Unentbehrlich! *2015-08-12* Zur Flugvorbereitung VFR, aber auch zur optischen Dokumentation einer Flugroute, konkurrenzlos. Nicht billig, aber ich kann nicht mehr ohne😊 ### 5/5 — Keeps getting better *2015-05-09* I cannot recommend this app enough. I had every edition of Absolute's paper Pilot Atlases and they were great. This digital version is awesome and keeps getting better. Just found out I can even draw circles around airports so one can show adequate and ETOPS limits. You can put in ETPs etc. Brilliant. It also has lots of good database info-airports, navaids, mountains, POIs etc. Purchasing the whole world in HD seems pricey at first but I think, well worth it. The paper ones, as I remember, were around £25 and that was for either the U.S., or the rest of the world which was expanding with each new addition but was not the rest of the world. If like me you had both, it was £50 anyway, which is roughly the same as this app and now you really do have the whole world and can do so much more. It is becoming a really useful tool. The Captains Corner is a little fidgety in that there are now ICONS for each topic or item instead of turning pages but some of these are mini apps- conversions, fuel uplift, gradient calculator. In short, lots of good stuff as in the paper version but even more. The only thing that seems to have gone missing is the holding info but maybe I have not found it. A basic political map in the Captain's corner similar to the one at the beginning of the paper one would still be useful for "routing over" PA's. Would thoroughly recommend. Keep up the good work, Dankeschön! ### 5/5 — CaptA320 *2014-06-18* Great new features in ver. 2.0 and will only get better with pilot feedback which has been keenly taken note of thus far. Sure beats carrying the atlas around and turning many pages on long trips. Lots of quick and useful reference in captain's corners. Must have in your EFB! ### 5/5 — Just what the doctor ordered *2013-11-26* Ipad version finally here. Very good No more dragging paper maps around. Fairly fast and responsive even on my ipad 2. Way more responsive than any other downloadable maps I've ever seen for ipad. ### 5/5 — Simply: great! *2013-10-10, version 1.3* Super extension of the paper version. Nice and handy fixes on the running version. Keep up the great job --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
