Excellent and constantly improving - Top Support

Good charts and iPad App.
Functionalities are excellent and constantly improving.
Top Support incredibly responsive.
Suggested improvements :
- only download chosen charts, if possible based on an airport pair or series of airport ; or based on a hand drawing on a world map
- make a route (extracted from a flight plan or OFP export) appear on the chart

Excellent App

A really great add on to my company provided charts. It provides clear, useful and up to date information making it easy to have good awareness of what’s around you. Also the tech support is very fast and helpful.

Response from developer

Thank you very much for that nice feedback!

Honest

Honestly most times the app is pretty to work around . Sometimes it may be slow but the content is helpful and on point .

Permanenter Absturz

Seit dem update ist es nicht mehr möglich sich einzuloggen. Auch eine erneute Installation behob dieses Problem nicht. Sobald man auf Login geht stürzt die App ab.
Ich fand vorher die App und die Karten super. Gerade wenn man sehr viel Langstrecke fliegt.

Great Tool for all Professional Pilots

Really helpful on all my lonhaul flights.
Everything you need at one place. Not too much information like in all the other Apps.
App is working without any issues.
Keep up the excellent work!

Thank you very much for the great feedback!!

Best Charting Reader App

I fly worldwide, and teach long-range aero-navigation, this reader app is an excellent addition to any, and every, EFB (electronic flight bag) the info is clear, concise and appropriate. Moreover, with daily updates, including NAT Tracks, it is my go-to for any planning task. Keep up the good work.

Thank you very much for that nice feedback!

Amateur

This app is a pain to use. So many bugs. It just feels like it’s made by amateurs, not by professionals.

Response from developer

Please contact us if you still experience any problems. Our team will be happy to solve any issues you have. With the latest update there are no known problems anymore.

Log-In nur online möglich

Die App verlangt sehr oft nach einem erneuten Log-In.
Das geht aber nur online. Unterwegs, wenn ich die App nutzen möchte, bin ich aber nicht online. Daher für mich nur sehr eingeschränkt nutzbar.

Response from developer

Danke für dein Feedback. Wir haben vor kurzem eine neue App zur Verfügung gestellt und hoffen, dass die angesprochenen Probleme nicht mehr auftauchen.

Scam

Planning Charts

Excellent tool for pilots for route flying with ample data.Specially useful for Atlantic crossings for my flying
Thanks

Very useful

Very good charts, apps could be better.
But I have no idea how to do so. Critics is easy art is difficult. ;-)

Very poor app for a very good product

Viewing charts on an iPad requires just a few features for a good user experience.
Unfortunately, this app has none of them.
- NO select sync : You need to wait through the update of all 58 charts. You better have a very fast connection and/or a good data plan.
- NO full screen update : The app is still not adapted to the full screen iPad Pro format. No multi-window or split-view support either !
- NO export feature, so it is impossible to plot your own route like you can in a third-party pdf reader.

Also, I can't understand the difference between Sync and Refresh...but you need to do both in order to view the charts.

Sorry Apollodor crew, the charts are great, the iOS app is horrible.

Français:
Pour bien visualiser des cartes sur un iPad, il suffit de quelques fonctionnalités. Malheureusement, cette application en est dépourvue :
- IMPOSSIBLE de sélectionner les cartes à télécharger. On doit attendre que toutes les 58 cartes se synchronisent. Il vaut mieux avoir une connection à très haut débit et/ou un abonnement data bien dimensionné.
- L'application ne profite ni du grand écran des iPad Pros, ni des dernières fonctionnalités de iPad OS : pas de split view ni de fenêtres multiples.
- IMPOSSIBLE d'exporter les pdf vers une appli tierce qui nous permettrait de tracer notre route sur la carte.

De plus, je ne comprends pas la différence entre Sync et Refresh. Mais il faut faire les deux pour pouvoir visualiser les cartes...

Désolé pour l'équipe Apollodor, le produit (les cartes) est excellent mais l'application est une catastrophe.

Convenient backup!

Am “using” this even though I’m not currently flying the NAT. This service, both the detail on the map, as well as the depiction of the daily tracks, can only serve to enhance flight safety through the provision of “backup” information to your own plotting chart(s) thus providing a means of gross-error checking. Gets my vote!

App funktioniert nicht

Login fail. Jedes Mal.
Zu allem Überfluss funktioniert die Homepage auch nicht mehr.

Response from developer

Hallo Ben349. Die Bewertung können wir nicht nachvollziehen. Es gab an einem Tag eine temporäre Störung der Planningcharts Server. Deshalb war ein Login in die App nicht möglich. Alles funktioniert seitdem wieder reibungslos.
