### 5/5 — Works as advertised

*2024-05-29*

It’s an excellent app and all functionality actually works. One feature I wish it had was the ability to manually add a flight to the log book. There have been several times I’ve forgotten to hit the start before launch and not noticed until after landing. Having a manual entry option would allow me to accurately account for my flight numbers and approximate flight times. All in all this is a solid app and I love using it.

### 1/5 — Please Fix Smart Forms

*2024-04-23*

Unable to renew Smart Forms, please fix!

### 5/5 — Love it and here’s why

*2023-05-03, version 1.1.2*

I’m a private pilot and this app is so intuitive. It’s ingenious by its simplicity!
Thank you

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2023-03-31, version 1.1.2*

Love this app. Use it every time. 
BUT could you make it so when my phone goes flat it saves the log. 
ALSO when I accidentally close the app without stopping flight, save the log. 
Thanks.

### 4/5 — Fabulously simple and easy to use

*2023-02-11, version 1.1.2*

I’ve been using this app ever since I started training in 2021. Now have over 70 flights with virtually all logged in PPG Flyer.

The interface is simple and clear with to understand. The flight logger is great, also being able to replay flights at various playback speeds.

The log export feature is also great but as other have said, unfortunately there is no height date in the export files so when loaded into Google maps etc then it looks like your driving along the ground. Have messaged the developer separately about adding height data into the export files, as it must be there since the playback gives height. Would be great if this can be added sooner than later as the export files are not much use without.

But considering it’s a free app it’s fabulous, and I would give it 5 stars once the GPX file height issue is resolved. But for now it’s 4 stars.

Keep up the great work and look forward to future developments

### 5/5 — Great app.

*2022-10-17*

I have not used a flight app. nor instruments before. I appreciate all the info. I have now. The altimeter registers from your point of origin and I find myself flying at negative numbers. Is it possible to have elevation figures of the terrain as you travel over it?

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2022-07-02, version 1.1.2*

This application works well for flight but, if you want to view your flight on ayvri.com; forget it.
The app outputs a route .gpx file and not a track .gpx file, as ayvri.com likes.  If you convert the file to track it will play in ayvri but you will be flying along or, in the ground; as there appears to be no elevation data stored in the flight log.
Still a good app for flight though.

### 5/5 — Great App!

*2022-06-27*

This is an amazing free app to record flights, I’m amazed that you can also export GPX file for free given that the others gps app would charge for that functionality.

The only thing that doesn’t work well is on Apple Watch. 
  1.  If I click stop flight on my watch, the flight record will be lost and no where to be found in the flight log. 
  2.  If I manual start a flight using my watch, the flight won’t be recorded even if I click stop on iPhone afterwards.

I figured the only way to work for now is to let it automatically start and click stop button on iPhone. I would really appreciate it if I can also click stop on my watch and allow the flight to be recorded. 

Overall great app, and thank you for putting all the effort in making it!

### 5/5 — Adding air space/maps

*2022-06-26, version 1.1.2*

Hi there is there any way of adding air space or similar to keep you out of controlled air space?
Many thanks

### 3/5 — PPG routing average

*2022-02-05, version 1.1.2*

App works ok, but ‘route home arrow’ often jumps around the compass giving false info. 
Better than nothing, but only average compared to others - but it’s free
