GPS issues

GPS stop working. Tried to contact support by email, by phone, never returned my messages. The app was nice for me but support is nonexistent

WOW!

Been a user for many years. Excellent EFB. No need to pay $$$$$ for “What everyone uses”. Only 99 CENTS/YEAR for everything a VFR pilot will ever need!

Very happy with it

Been running WingX for years. Really like the split screen feature. Support has been great too.

Support is lacking

I love the WingX program and have used it for years, but their support is less than stellar and quite opaque. There’s no option to see what your password is for the account and trying to reset my forgotten one has become a nightmare. I’m almost ready to ditch WingX and move on to something new but I’ll try for a while longer.

A hoax and a con. Buy Foreflight.

I paid for what was advertised as the $75 per year advanced IFR, but after they took my money, I discovered that I have to pay $75 twice ($150) to get it. A con and a hoax in my opinion. Get foreflight and be happier… I want my money back!
