Great EFB, but I have a wishlist
Honestly a great EFB, came recommended by my instructor.
However there are a couple features on my wishlist.
1. Glide Range. It would be so cool to calibrate your range by recording a real life glide.
2. A web interface for planning would be awesome but I know a ton of work.
3. It’s easy to click on airports when zoomed out or very close, but at mid zoom it’s impossible to click on them which is really frustrating.

Thanks for the kind words. We will add these to our backlog of features. Hopefully we'll be able to add these for you one day. Cheers!
DO NOT DOWNLOAD IN CANADA
This app is no good in Canada as per the other review. There is no way to cancel the subscription in the app.
Haven’t been able to get my money back from Apple. Have to go to credit card company next.

Not Canadian
Sold in the Canadian App Store, but no Canadian charts. 1-star for this uselessness. Change the app and add Canadian charts and the review can be changed. Will update if anything does.
Kind of meh
Support for Hawaii is abysmal. There’s no option to load the high resolution IFR sectional. Victor airways in Hawaii do not work — if you plug one in then your flight path jumps thousands of miles to the continental US and back. Oceanic tracks (R464 etc) are not recognized at all. Aside from the Hawaii specific issues, it is not possible to shortcut direct to a fix during an arrival or departure route. The app also seemingly hasn’t changed at all since its release as Aerovie years ago. Abandonware?
Update 8/2023: still pretty useless for Hawaii. No way to tell it to use the local V20 instead of the one in Texas 🤦

Ruined new version
I’ve been using this app for about 3 years and it’s been great. Right before EAA AirVenture 2023 they put out a terrible new release making it impossible to file a flight plan. You enter in data to the flight plan manager and it doesn’t update the map. Impossible to file a flight plan so make to calling flight service.
Anyway, don’t buy this, it’s going down hill. And it’s not safe.

Doesn’t accept no home number on sign up
What a stupid first screen. Asks for a phone number, but doesn’t accept it or even ask for the country or area code. Is this an app that assumes everyone is on the US?
Doesn’t work well, especially for the price
The Apple Watch part of this app just flat doesn’t work, trying to view radar crashes it, it needs the iPhone and isn’t remotely stand alone, NRST plus Windy does everything this tries to do, better and a fraction of the price
On the iPhone, it’s just clunky and for the price point its too close to foreflight prices, if I want to save money fltplango is free and better

We apologize for the issues with the Apple Watch. We weren't aware of any crashes coming from the app related to that. If you wouldn't mind, reach out to us via email with what you were seeing and we will take care of it right away. Thanks for letting us know in your review.

We can assure you the app has not been abandoned. Please reach out via email in the app if you are still having issues with airports in HI. We apologize if there were any difficulties using the app in flight. We will do everything we can to get these fixed as soon as we can. Thanks for leaving a review.
Flight plan and landscape
Have been using for couple years, nice app. It fails to open flight plans and lack of landscape orientation for iPhone are my two issues.
Broken onboarding
The app opens on a rather nosey account creation screen that won’t accept phone numbers that have more than 10 digits. But at the end you’re rewarded with a “Account cannont be created’ error message. It’s built so poorly that iOS’ password generator doesn’t work.
Don’t purchase. Avoid Avoid Avoid
I will updated if anything changes, but I downloaded this app, then during the first day of the 30-day trial learned that it does not work in Canada where I need it to work. I was immediately charged for the app. I requested a refund but it was denied, then after contacting the credit card company I was issued a credit memo but Apple. Then, after I alerted the credit card company that a refund had been provided, the app was mysteriously reinstated and I was changed again by Apple (or the app developer). Stay away from this app! If anything positive comes of this I will update accordingly.

It’s a joke! Don’t waste your time.
There is no such thing “a 30 day trial “. It would not even let you look at it without subscribing.
Do not download !!!
ADSB does not work with Garmin GDL and I was charged $9.95 less than a week after downloading. Was not 30-day trial period.
Promising application
Good application with even better potential
No thanks
Not paying $9.99 per month
No support for Stratux
It used to support Stratux, now it does not!!!
Best Value
I’ve used every EFB out there. It is coded tightly, isn’t designed by committee and the dev is responsive to feature requests and bug fixes.
Can’t rely on
I have tried to use on IPad Pro, and it crashed, locked screen and even after rebooting and restarting Insight, only thing that comes up is same locked screen. I have cancelled subscription.
Scam
Beware
If you download this app, they will charge you for an ongoing subscription without you realizing it.
There’s no way to cancel this automatic renewal!
A real scam!
Don’t dare download the “free” trial!

Favorites lacking, storage hog
I’ve tried quite a few flight apps, most called EFBs despite the fact that most are far from an “EFB”. I like this one but it is a compromise because it lacks the ability to edit the favorites list or a method to save for a long term, a plan that one uses frequently. It is also not possible to edit a temporarily saved “favorite”, you have to name it something else. The favorites list as is, has little to no value to me.
More than 20 gig, yes, more than 20 gig of storage, how can that be?
Another problem I encountered is that after creating an IFR flight plan, if you try to edit airways after the fact, it draws airway lines all over the place which the only way to fix is to start over. I found myself going back to skyvector to create and file my flight plans because I know they will be correct that way.
Documentation is really poor, and that is a problem in itself.
I really like the price as it is reasonable, but improvements need to be made. I’m going to continue using this app as I watch for these changes. Hopefully I can edit this review as changes are made.
I uninstalled this app because it is not working for me, before the trial ended, yet I was still charge the annual fee. I would like refund.

Response from developer
Thank you for trying insight. We do have the ability to both save and recall flight plans, finding this functionality can be a little tricky at first. Please contact us at support@appareo.com and we would be happy to help walk you through this. The storage space seems a little high. We recommend deleting the app entirely then reinstalling and downloading what you need. If you had a previous version around there may be a few database files still hanging around on the filesystem. It sounds like you had some issues with airway routing. The app tries to detect which direction you are going on your airway based on what you enter. It might be easier to enter the entire route in the search box instead of the FPL editor tool, this may help you. If you have a series of waypoints you enter that show up wrong please contact support as this may be a bug.
