User reviews

Improving comms skills.

Excellent and outstanding app. Very helpful.

Wish it had Australian radio calls

Seems like there have been a lot of improvements since last time I used it and I am enjoying it. I wish it could add an Australian version as the calls are a little different but it is still helping me a lot understand radio chat

Ok but too much touch required

This is a solid C+ app, but I really don’t like that you need to tap the mic icon to speak and the speaker icon to listen. It should be a fluid conversation like it is with Siri or Alexa or Whisper or 11labs voices. It feels pretty archaic the way it is, and because it requires full attention it’s hard to train for multitasking and distractions like will be given to you on cog and compass tests

App does not open without cell or WiFi signal.

Why doesn’t the app open and work offline ?

Good app

I found it helpful to practice say ATC instructions and I am pleased with the Readback IFR clearance lesson.
