PH & DH Calcs

i’m getting erroneous readings on the PH & DH calculations. bases on aviation wide calculations of PH being aerodrome elevation + ((1013 - QNH) x30), I am getting different answers when using the app calculator. EG, elev 2130ft, QNH 1021. the correct answer based off the above calculation is 1890 however, the app says 1919. small differences now yes, but it then throws off the DH calculation making that around 30-40ft off from standard calculation method. aside this issue I have found, I absolutely love this app!

Buggy as Hell

All kinds of issues. Just downloaded and paid for this app as a companion to the Sporty’s Lean to Fly lesson on the E6B calculator. Just attempted the 10 question quiz at the end of the lesson, and it either got different answers for the same calculations shown in the video, or rounding issues didn’t even let me plug in the same decimals.

Worth the price

Very convenient app, I especially like that you can enter values on either side of the equation instead of having to open a new function.
The app is already 5 stars but could be even better if you could enter Aircraft Profiles in metric units as well and if there was a way to save offblock/start/landing/onblock times without having to take a screenshot each time.

Awesome Tool!

Allowed me, with ease, to work out problems for my PPL practice while waiting for my physical E6B to arrive via the mail.

Not awful, not great

This app is simple and but not very effective. But it is greatly lacking in simple features and updates that would make it much more usable. Simple things like being able to add a picture to a weight & balance profile. So I can easily reference the aircraft’s CG limits. Lots of other ideas have been suggested and ignored. App has not been updated in years… maybe look somewhere else

Great app

I’m not an actual pilot, but I do a lot of simulation flying and I use this app all the time, it has a lot of good information.

Terrible

It’s great for having some pre made tables, but it’s super difficult to navigate and find the answers that you need as many of the terms don’t match what you’re actually trying to to find.

No minuses? Otherwise, it's ok

The temp is minus 13° C today. What is that in Fahrenheit? Who knows, because this calculator doesn't allow you to use minuses. Otherwise, I use it occasionally to do quick crosswind and other calculations. It can come in handy but it has its limitations.

Not the Best Option Out There

It wasn’t worth it to me. Sure, it worked, but the keyboard gets in the way and it’s not as intuitive or as capable that a digital flight computer should be. It was a little extra, but I spent the money for the one from the same folks who make more traditional products, and have for longer, and it’s a better product overall. I would skip this product if you’re choosing between a couple.

Ok, but an update for some small fixes would be nice

Please update the keyboard to be compatible with the mini floating keyboard.

Leg time in tenths of an hour as well as mm:ss would be nice.

A “next” button for selecting the next entry field would make things faster.

Broken on iOS 26

Great app but unusable on iPad and iOS 26 due to their custom keyboard. Please update.

MAKE CALCULATIONS FASTER THAN I COULD

Calculates everything so much faster than I could with a hand held manual E6B.
I am ferrying a PC-12 from HER (Crete) to PNE ( Philadelphia Northeast). It’s coming in real handy.

Please make the text bigger

Good app for what it is. Is it being developed yet? No updates for a long time, interface really needs the ability to increase text size. For $10 app the lack of updates is kind of unfair.

Helpful Tool

This gives a host of aviation performance calculation tools.

Ziemlich gut.

Es fehlen jedoch noch ein paar Sachen. Zum Beispiel kann man beim Anlegen von Flugzeugprofilen nicht die Einheiten ändern.

No weight and balance calculations!

I literally bought this app to save time doing the weight and balance calculations but they are not in this the app. Can I get my money back?

Units for weight and balance

Hello, good application but unfortunate we can not change the units from lb/in to kg/m for the weight and balance.

Would be great to have conversion factors and formulas viewable

The calculator does what you’d expect, but it’d be nice to have a toggle to see the conversion factors and formulas used for some of the calculations for reference.

Buggy

Lots of little bugs unfortunately, double check if answers make sense before you fill out your navlog.

Please correct

We cannot add negative numbers in certain calculations like al true altitude
Thanks
