## What is smartCHECK?

smartCHECK is an App that reads Checklists by synthetic voice to airplane crews – smartCHECK is your „Digital Copilot“. 

I. Checklists 
App comes with a ready Light Airplane Template and a ready checklist set for the Cirrus SR22-G3 and G3 models. 
You can easily add items or even checklists to the checklist set. 
Other Checklist sets as in-app purchases: Cessna 172, 182, Piper Warrior and Archer.
All checklist sets from the store can be downloaded as often as required, edited and saved. 
All checklist sets can be shared by eMail if the recipient owns the basic checklist of that airplane. 
Send checklist sets to yourself to save them on your computer or in a cloud service. Or install them on a second iPad. 
Make your own checklists for the categories Normal, Abnormal and Emergency and save them in the right category (Ground, Taxi…) of the checklist set for your airplane 
All checklists you create can be read to you 

II. Checklist Usage and Setting
Checklists can be displayed as text only or shown as text and be read to the pilot/crew at the same time. 
Checklist items (text or audio) can also be completed manually one at a time by simply tapping the screen.
If the whole checklist is read automatically then the reading can always be stopped and resumed by one tap on the screen.
Some Checklist groups (Ground, Taxi, Takeoff…) can be forwarded automatically by GPS. 
Move and sort the icons on the screen according to your needs.
Your edited checklists will be preserved with each new version of smartCHECK (we still recommend saving them). 

III. Automatic Altitude Callouts on Take-off (especially important for pilots of airplanes with BRS or CAPS system) 
Height AGL* above the Take-off runway can be announced („five hundred“). 
Pilot can either set one Height AGL* to be announced or a range between 100 and 1000 feet.
Elevation above Take-off runway can be displayed in large numbers at the same time. 
Cirrus Aircraft Checklists contain a special CAPS checklist.
After Take-off Checklists can be activated and read automatically and hands off.  

IV. Integrated Document Browser: Access all your Documents, Tables or Manuals with one tap 
Document Browser. Create green icons, give them a name and import any PDF or JPEG document. you might want to access with one tap. 
Import PDF documents like Avionics Manuals or Performance tables. 
Every document is accessible with tapping its icon.
Use the camera of your iPad to create a document on the spot. 
Notepad feature.

V. Other Tools and Settings
Oil Log: Enter the Oil status of your engine, how much oil you added and the app calculates the oil consumption per flight hour.
Fuel Switch Timer: Select an interval and get an onscreen and audio reminder to switch your tanks.
Control brightness of screen in the app or use the red Night Mode. 
Switch the audio feature on/off.
Switch on/off automatic forwarding of flight phases. Or swipe groups manually.
Auto voice on/off. Auto voice means: The app reads the complete checklist and goes back to the main menu when checklist is completed.
When using checklists without auto voice each tap on the screen will read one item (manual audio mode).
If used without audio each tap will only mark each item/line green (manual text mode). 
Move checklist icons to other place on the screen by sliding them to a new position.
Filter which checklist types you want to have displayed with a simple toggle switch. This way you can reduce the number of icons on the screen.

### 5/5 — Super App

*2024-02-22, version 6.0*

Ein Highlight unter all den App’s die das Fliegen komfortabler und vor allem sicherer machen können! Die Augen bleiben konzentriert auf dem Geschehen außen sowie den Instrumenten während die App einem via Headset die Checkpunkte „zuflüstert“! Zudem kann man die Sprachausgabe individuell seinen Bedürfnissen anpassen; Sprache, Lesegeschwindigkeit sowie Pausenzeiten zwischen den Zeilen! In den Weiten des www findet man nichts annähernd vergleichbares! Topp!!!
Danke an den Entwickler!!!  Norbert

### 2/5 — Nicht passend, wenn man…

*2023-04-30, version 5.16*

… mehrere Unterverzeichnisse in der Checkliste benötigt. Zwar ist die Aufteilung in frei wählbare Sektionen (Exterior, Preflight, etc.) schön, aber es gelingt nicht, eine Liste zu erstellen, die mehrere Unterpunkte hat. 
Also zum Beispiel geht zwar 1. a), aber eben nicht mehr 1. a) 1., 2., 3.
Dies ist bei manchen Checklisten aber nötig, wenn man nah am Original bleiben will und nicht improvisieren möchte. Ärgerlich. 
Außerdem haben manche Punkte einer Checkliste auch mehrere Dinge als Antwort, bzw. Erledigung. Zum Beispiel: „Exterior (als Sektion oder Überschrift des Bereichs), dann zum Beispiel: 1. Cargo hook und hier als zu checkende Elemente „check condition“ und „check function“ als einzelne Punkte. Hier wäre bei der selbst erstellten Checkliste nur eine der beiden Optionen möglich, wenn man nicht den hier beispielhaften Punkt „1. Cargo hook“ wiederholen will, was dann „2. Cargo hook“ wäre. Das ist schon recht nervig.
Die Stimme, die die Checkliste vorliest, ist zudem trotz mancher Einstellungsmöglichkeit (GeschwindigkeitI) in meinen Augen miserabel und keinesfalls up to date. 
Ich habe nach viel Probiererei eine Rückerstattung des Kaufbetrags beantragt. 
Für mich ist diese App nicht verwendbar. Schade.

### 2/5 — Audio does not work

*2022-11-13, version 5.12*

Can’t seem to get the app to read the checklist.

### 3/5 — Gutes Tool

*2021-05-13, version 5.1*

Leider funktioniert das Rektoren von InApp Käufen nicht

### 4/5 — Good but with long standing bug

*2021-03-09*

Please fix the bug that makes the name of a custom aircraft template appear blank when selecting an aircraft template from the available list.  The title “Light Airplane Template” also appears blank in that same drop down list.

**Developer response:** We will check that and fix it!

### 2/5 — Wish I didn’t buy

*2019-07-21, version 4.6*

I thought the catalog was much more than about 8 options. Then having to buy each checklist in addition to the app seems like a duplicate charge.

### 3/5 — Nice app

*2019-07-03, version 4.5*

Great little app that aids in the cockpit by removing the need to find and reference written or digital checklists.  I love the voice prompting, but is a bit redundant in aircraft with a G1000 and an available checklist.  Would be great to have an option to manually check the items and be able to jump to different parts of the list (or go back).  Finally while a nice app, for $12 I expected more, hence 3 stars.

### 5/5 — Pilots best Co-Pilot

*2019-05-14, version 4.5*

Eine spitzenklasse App nach der ich seit Jahren gesucht habe!
Endlich gibt es diese sinnvolle Unterstützung. Ich habe meine Maschine mit allen Checklisten individuell angelegt. Dazu können Tabellen als Dokument eingepflegt werden
-super strukturiert
-übersichtlich
-kinderleicht zu bedienen
-besser als jede Papiercheckliste (ein Quantensprung)
-absoluter Sicherheitsgewinn

### 5/5 — Superb addition to single pilot operations

*2018-12-09, version 4.2*

A flexible, meticulously thought out addition to your e flight bag.  Nothing beats a skilled human copilot, but this is great.

### 5/5 — alles bestens!

*2018-11-25, version 4.2*

funktioniert wie beschrieben 👍👍👍 wieter so!
