The app is good but is missing the one thing that would give it an advantage over a web browser; notifications. Once the app has notifications, it will be 5 stars. ### 4/5 — Works for me *2017-12-02, version 1.03* Quick simple app that does its job and downloads quickly the latest news. Thanks. I reckon you should do the same for Jeppy ### 4/5 — Great info, okay interface *2016-12-16, version 1.03* Simon's info is great. I'm happy to support his reporting because most aviation "experts" are anything but. The interface could use some improvements. If you click on comments, you'll see nothing. You need to click it a second time to see any. ### 3/5 — In dire need of a redesign *2016-05-12* The interface desperately needs updating for the larger screened 6 and above, it's very unattractive to read and use the apps features. Price is quite steep considering. ### 5/5 — 12 € sind es wert *2014-09-09* Ich unterstütze sehr gerne Simons AVHerald! Tolle Arbeit - Weiter so!!!!!!! Gruß aus MUC ### 5/5 — Great! *2014-09-07, version 1.01* I was Leary of the cost, but realized how inexpensive it is given the content. I will be donating monthly as well. Thanks, Simon ### 4/5 — Great App and Support for Simon *2014-09-07, version 1.01* Decided to buy the app, mostly to show my support for Simon!!! His thrive for accuracy and informing the public should be applauded and supported!!! I'd like to see the app show each item including the pictures (and maybe videos), plus comments on one page; like the web site, rather than pressing a button. The flight path and maybe airport diagrams, approach plates could be optional via a button. Also, I'd recommend to have the app save email and nickname for comments (unless it already does). Keep up the great work! Cheers, Tom ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Only blank Page *2025-06-12* Only white Page, no Contest shown. I want my money bank. ### 1/5 — No data *2025-06-12* Data is not downloading or updating ### 1/5 — It crashes and does not even open on iPad *2024-12-30* The iPad app does not work. ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money. *2023-10-24, version 1.05* I expected advanced functionality with an app from this site. I was very dissatisfied and disappointed. Don’t purchase under any circumstances, and just add a link to AvHerald, on your Home Screen. I gave one star, because that’s the lowest, but it’s not worth one star. ### 2/5 — App isn’t opening *2025-06-13* The app is blank, doesn’t show anything. ### 2/5 — Needs updating *2019-10-08* The content is fantastic and thoroughly researched and maintained. Unfortunately the app isn’t. Please update and 5 stars will be well deserved. ### 2/5 — App improvements needed ! *2018-05-12* 5 stars for the informations but the app really needs some major improvements as it is not up to date for the IPhone X and therefore it is easier to read on the website which is free rather than on the expensive app ### 2/5 — Wissenswertes aus dem Internet *2015-06-05* Gut wäre ein Filter: Kontinente/Länder/Regionen/Flughafen. Oder Schwere der Ereignisse Auch Push Nachrichten wären dann sinnvoll und hilfreich. ### 2/5 — Needs work *2014-08-04, version 1.00* Sadly needs a lot of work to get up to scratch. Just feels like the website wrapped up in an app and could be a little more native! This is nothing more than an expensive and limited RSS reader!! ### 3/5 — Great info, but problematic app *2022-02-06, version 1.04* Anyone else having issues with stories intermittently not allowing you to scroll past the initial page? On iPhone 13 with latest iOS. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good ! *2022-05-04* This App is reduced to the Information really needed. Not overloaded. Very Good !!!! ### 5/5 — Nonsense everywhere - Information HERE *2017-05-09* When talking about any incidents/accidents in air transport aviation, one is mostly confronted with unqualified information which is only based on heresay, myths and what the respective authors believe, might have happened. This is then sold as solid news and solid analysis by all kinds of newspapers and internet-sources. Not so AVH!!! The Aviation Herald is probably the only publication of it´s kind, that condenses occurrences in air transport aviation into a manageable form and still remains accurate. Furthermore The Aviation Herald is an investigative body that has prompted more than one aviation-authority, responsible for overseeing accident-investigations and formulating regulatory rules, to revise their statements on certain topics. This App for the iPhone is very well organized to work with the informations offered by The Aviation Herald. It is very swift and concise and easy to operate. Mr. Hradecky, please keep up the good work! ### 5/5 — Nice job! *2017-02-11* Thanks to "The Aviation Herald" im updated 24/7 with the latest news in aviation. Especially when you work in aviation, it becomes pretty handy! Love this app! :) ### 5/5 — Excellent App, easy to use *2016-07-16* Simon is doing a great job with his website. And so is the new App. Easy to navigate thru, flat design reduced to the essentials. But everything is there, what one need for a quick overview, don't really miss any feature. Works excellent and fast. The App is worth every cent, and also a way to support Simon's work. ### 5/5 — Please add iPad split app *2015-12-10, version 1.02* Hi love avheard please bring iPad split screen apps :) also it would be great If you could add comments to articles without leaving the app! Could you add a share button to make it easier to share via email and text? ### 5/5 — worth the $€ *2015-09-09* great site, excellent reporting, good app -- worth every support! ### 5/5 — Best App *2015-07-30* Selectable push notifications would be nice. Regarding crash or Report or incident etc. ### 5/5 — Supporting Simon & Great App *2015-02-16, version 1.01* It's a wonderful native app that displays the latest news and info without having to run Safari. Best of all, it supports Simon and his excellent website providing the latest news on the happenings of aviation incidents and accidents. The content is always updated daily with new fresh incidents - and continuous updates to older ones, final accident report releases and such. It's a very fair price to pay for the value I receive as an aviation nerd on the latest incidents and events. Also, the comments are often helpful though highly speculative. At any rate: it's an invaluable resource. While you can get it for free on your iPhone web browser, the native app makes things much simpler, and supports the operating costs of the site. So, Bravo! Thank you Simon Hradecky for all your hard work, and I'm glad I have the opportunity to support you in this manner - while you add value to me. ### 5/5 — It is definitely worth the money! *2015-02-08* Greetings from ETNW. Keep up your outstanding good work. ### 5/5 — Buy this to support avherald *2014-10-25* avherald is the goto site for rational information about airplane incidents. Good antidote against the sensationalism in the media. This app presents the information in a way that is useful on a mobile device. You buy the app to get this, but also to support Simon in his relentless fight for the truth about aviation security. Would give six stars if it had notifications... --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
