User reviews

Best iPhone app for pilots but………

Was fantastic until the latest iPhone IOS upgrade. No longer works on iPhone but still works on iPad. Odd!

WHATSUP?

This was my most used aviation App until yesterday!
Finally upgraded the iOS on my phone and now the App won’t open. Tried to contact Support... No joy!
Anyone else having this problem?
App is still available in the App Store.

Fuel density

Good app, but unable to change the fuel density for fuel calculations.

Fix this please

Keeps crashing when trying to open the weather check

Terrible

Terrible app, crashed every time I tried to use. Would give 0 stars if I could.
