### 3/5 — Great but glitchy

*2015-02-03, version 1.2.1*

Great companion app with useful functionality.  Fully integrates with most aircraft autopilot systems, but may not work with some that have their own operational plugins (x737, for example).  I would give it 5 stars if it weren't so unstable.  The app crashes my iPad Air repeatedly during use (restarts my actual iPad, not just the app).  Happens especially when moving/zooming the map.  Fix that and it's a winner!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2014-09-27, version 1.2.1*

I would like to have one more feature, on the map when the flight is displayed/moving if you could display flight number( like 747/380)/speed/heading number/altitude that would be really great.

### 5/5 — Can it get any better!

*2014-09-11, version 1.2.0*

I had the demo of this app for a long time and it has instrumental to my simulation. When I'm on the ground, I use X-Mapper in concert with the plate and it makes ground navigation a dream. I love how you can see a trail of where you have come from and it follows you. I can enter in my frequencies faster. Just after I bought the app they updated it to have the iOS 7-8 look and feel! Can it get any better!?

### 5/5 — 👍👍👍

*2014-08-20*

Firstly, Great Job.

I love the app. I love the autopilot (I'll get back to that in a minute), I love the map and the corse line as it can allow you to have more precision.

Now to the bits I don't like much.

Firstly, the 'avionics' are great, but autopilot can be interesting sometimes as it keeps turning off auto and onto the manual setting (this may also be a problem with x-plane itself.) That is my only real concern although the flight path line can be a bit pixelated sometimes/it can be made up if straight lines.

I had the light version of this and it is well worth purchasing this version as it is both affordable and effective.

### 2/5 — Not reliable

*2014-07-31, version 1.1.3*

The sliders disappeared.  Was working for a while then no sliders. Tried reinstalling app -- didn't work.

### 5/5 — perfect

*2014-05-13, version 1.1.3*

this app is perfect. its so helpful if you have xplane,, but one suggestion for the next update, there should be a small compas in the corner so you can set your planes autopilot direction, its just a sugestion but tht would surly make this app perfect

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-04-24, version 1.1.3*

I've been using this app on my Iphone 5 and it works great, I use it with x-plane 10 for mac

### 3/5 — Good app

*2014-03-04*

Connects easily to my setup. Needs an update.
Would be great if the routes could be saved and/or exported.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2014-02-15*

I had this up and running in ten seconds, despite the warning that there was a bug. I've used it with X-Plane to fly over cities and country side in the UK and Canada that I know well, and it was perfectly in sync. Plus it has a great overlay for comm and nav radio that seems to work pretty good. Just being able to glance down at where you are on the map is so cool. I have this and another app running on two separate ipads and they both work flawlessly, plus they probably take some load off the computer. Fantastic use of $3.00. Love it.

### 5/5 — Great little app.

*2014-01-25, version 1.1.3*

Does everything it says it will. Works perfectly with XP 10.25r1. The avionics functions don’t work with all payware aircraft, but they do work with some, which is to be expected. Terrific value.

### 1/5 — Deceitful money grab

*2023-02-13*

Superseded product that offers nothing over the TND version. Should be removed from the Apple Store. A waste of money.

### 1/5 — Don’t buy for xp11

*2019-06-30*

Doesn’t work, there is another version and the developer won’t refund this broken product. Waste of money if u run xp11 although title would sneakily suggest otherwise!

### 1/5 — Does not work with X-Plane 11

*2017-02-02*

Does not work with X-Plane 11.

### 1/5 — Doesnt work anymore

*2016-01-25*

Used to work before xplane update... Now wont even connect xplane 10.41....was once a useful app but now its baba !

### 1/5 — New a plane 10 Update

*2015-10-27*

Does not work with the new a plane 10.41 don't buy until it supports the new update

### 1/5 — Great... At first

*2015-10-18, version 1.2.1*

Worked very well for one or two flights but now will not connect to computer properly. This is frustrating because now I will have to buy a joystick.

### 1/5 — Crashes the plane.

*2015-09-07, version 1.2.1*

The usage of radios or autopilot very rarely works, and when you launch the app, all flight control inputs from joysticks will be ignored. So unless you want to crash, don't get this app.

### 1/5 — Thanks for ruining my game!!!😂😭😪😥😢😂😭😪😥😢😢😥😪😭😂

*2014-10-19, version 1.2.1*

I tried everything and I can't get my x-plane to work just because it says that it's still running but it's not I've tried restarting re installing x-plane
I've tried X-plane 64 and 32 bit and it will not work I don't recommend this app😂😂😂😭😭😭😭

### 1/5 — Works great but needs to be updated

*2014-09-01, version 1.1.3*

It says the latest update was October 8, of 2012. 2012!  Almost three years old. The least you guys can do is make it iPhone 5 compatible. Thanks

### 1/5 — Hidden costs may be involved

*2014-04-19*

This app doesn't seem to work with plane 9
They expect you to spend another $60 for the computer version of xplane 10

### 5/5 — Must Have for serious x-plane use

*2017-07-16*

This app is my go-to anytime I use x-plane.  Unlike many addons that you download and use a couple of times, x-mapper is a genuinely useful and functional tool.

Not only does it have a great moving map, but the avionics section lets me type in Alt VS, HDG and ASI values, instead of using fiddly knobs in a 3d cockpit.  This alone makes me use it constantly.

Definitely a must have for any simmer!

### 5/5 — Controlls

*2017-01-10, version 1.2.2*

The app aims to map but the most wondeful features are the flight controlls and the auto pilot. The radio stack is also a great help!

### 5/5 — X-Mapper Pro - Superb Add On

*2016-12-17*

This is a superb add on and well worth the price tag. It syncs really well with X-Plane 10 and now 11 and has a nice smooth action over the ground. I never fly without it! I have tried several other moving maps like X-Mapper Pro, but always come back to it as for me at least it, does everything I need it to and it works really well.

### 5/5 — Great for nav, comms & autopilot!!!

*2016-10-19, version 1.2.2*

Setting radios and A/P in X-Plane can be cumbersome and distracting, never as easy as turning a knob or pushing a button in a real plane. 
This takes all of that hassle away, almost better than the real thing, allowing you to just fly the plane. 
If for no other reason, that makes it totally worth it. It should be standard equipment for X-Plane.

### 5/5 — Great tool

*2016-10-17, version 1.2.2*

Love using this app, makes x-plane much more user friendly. Any word on an update with GPS inputs?

### 5/5 — The best avionics i have found

*2016-09-26, version 1.2.2*

This is single handedly the best avionics (comm, autopilot, barometer, etc) panel for X-plane i have found. It doesnt require fancy graphics (although that’d be cool) but it gets the job done and fixes the issue of having to change frequencies or minute details with your mouse. now you can do it on the ipad! good stuff!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2015-10-08*

Great app, works perfect. Wish it had actual VNC sectional maps as the data base.

### 5/5 — OMG

*2014-12-13, version 1.2.1*

Very efficient

### 5/5 — Great addition for X-Plane

*2014-10-08, version 1.2.1*

The map is a nice feature but having my radio and auto pilot controls is what did it for me.

### 5/5 — Couldn't live without it!

*2014-09-11, version 1.2.0*

Thank you so much for updating!! It works ever so beautifully with xplane9&10! I can't fly without it! Extremely accurate positioning. Thank you so much again!
