Awesome!

I am currently in IFR training for ATPL. I was looking for a tool that could help me learn how to fly holdings etc. The app is awesome! It has helped me tremendously to understand and practise how to fly a holding!

Best Interception and Holding Trainer!

I am currently in my practical ATPL training and I was looking for an app that gives me interception and holding tasks as I would encounter them in the cockpit. This app does exactly that. Extremely helpful!! Haven't found anything similar.

The way how you rotate the knobs is a nightmare

It’s not possible to use the app because it’s almost impossible to rotate the knobs

A message to the developer. Please change the interface. The best way how to change the heading and a bearing is the way how you enter the alarm time in the clock app. Just do the scroll wheel. But for now I decreased my rating to even 1. I will increase it to five right after you change the interface.

Response from developer

True, it is almost impossible to rotate the knobs, but only if you try to use a rotating gesture. Tab and slide makes it very smooth. Fun fact: DmitryDen's initial rating was 3 stars, after telling him he did it wrong, he changed it to 1 star.

Best App in the world

I downloaded all the vor training apps on the App Store to study instrument flight, but I don't think any app is as practical and helpful as this app. I needed an arc of less than 60 degrees, so I sent an email to the developer, and I was impressed by his immediate response and proactiveness in making corrections. It's worth even $50.
If you want to study instrument flight, be sure to download this app.
