Needs Work

App allows you to choose PPH as a fuel unit but on the aircraft tab it shows the fuel level as gals instead of lbs.
Also it allows you to add fuel profiles but doesn’t give you the option to specify that the custom fuel flow number associated with an altitude. Many aircraft have different fuel flows for each altitude but this app doesn’t allow you to specify them. And, there is no way to select max power cruise or efficient cruise power should you want to enter two different fuel flows for an altitude.

Hi, thanks for the review and for bringing the fuel unit display discrepancy to my attention. That fix will be addressed in the next update. Regarding multiple cruise fuel flows — you can actually specify additional values. Select your aircraft from the listing in the Aircraft tab to edit it, then select the engine. You'll see an option to "Add Custom Flow." Give it a label and enter the flow value. If it's a multi-engine aircraft, go to the next engine to set the custom flow value as well. Now when you're in flight, you can quickly select that custom flow by the label you provided, and it will set the engine(s) to those values. If you have any other questions or feedback, feel free to use the "Contact Us" link at the top of the Settings page in the app, or email support@skytimer.app. I try to respond within 24 hours.

Doesn’t work

I’m running iOS 18.6.2 and this app just crashes.

Almost Perfect

Love this app. Has some very helpful tools. Could you add the ability to show time remaining per tank?

Dramatic improvement!

In version 2.0 there are a huge number of improvements including up to 8 fuel tanks, selectors and very customs timers. A great app gets better!

Pretty good

I used this app while flying a Piper Arrow. While the fuel remaining wasn’t 100% accurate (i didn’t expect it to be), it got within 1gal per tank. App can still use improvements. For example I kept having to wake up my phone to see if I needed to switch because the alarm wouldn’t sound of it was off. Some sort of “keep screen alive” option like Foreflight would be amazing. Good work otherwise.

More than 2 fuel tank option would help

Great app, just upgraded to Pro and realized you only have options for up to two fuel tanks. I fly an aircraft with four fuel tanks and must have missed the details in the description. Hopefully more fuel tanks can be added soon.

Hi. The latest version of the app (2.0) has been fully rearchitected to support up to 7 fuel tanks and 4 engines--this means you can use it to manage fuel in just about every aircraft.

Disappointed

The app only supports 2 fuel tanks but you don’t really learn this until you buy it. It’s essentially useless for me for the purpose I intended, which is to track fuel in all four (or six) tanks, both in my aircraft and the other one I fly. Refund please and I will reconsider purchasing when this serious shortcoming has been addressed.

Still needs some tweaking

First, you need to have place for comments in the app so you can improve it and make it an even better tool.
Have the ability to add a number instead of scrolling which takes far too long if it’s a big number…perhaps use a slider
Increase the amount of pounds in the fuel tank size. 300 pounds is only 50 USG my tank holds 62.5.
Lastly, please allow the ability to not have to switch tanks as not all aircraft use this.
Thanks,

I have 4 tanks

I just spent 9.99 and it only goes up to two tanks. Come on why would you only go to two tanks. This is the whole reason someone would buy your app. Can I get a refund ?

The app currently supports up to 2 tanks. I regularly hear from users that have aircraft with more than 2 tanks that still find the app useful--receiving reminders to switch tanks and showing the estimated endurance, combined tank totals, etc.. That said, I'm actively working to support more than 2 tanks--as you can imagine, there are many different possible tank configurations that need to be tested. Support questions are welcome at https://skytimer.app--and it's always helpful to hear details on specific fuel tank configurations so those can be taken into account.

Love it

I love this app so far, but can there be some setting to always start a trip with full tanks or a predetermined amount? There’s a lot of clicks/scrolling on my watch to get it started

Hi, Mick. You can turn on "Rollover Fuel" within the settings of the app. When starting a new trip, that will prepopulate the fuel that was estimated at the end of the last trip. I'll also be adding functionality in an upcoming version to allow you to define a standard starting fuel amount to easily toggle to that.
