### 2/5 — 3.2GB想啥呢

*2026-03-30*

首先光是下这就的3.2GB，6分钟，让我们这些苹果用户怎么活，我这个是iPad6，一共128GB再加上里面的怎么也有个10GB吧，那还玩啥了，等平板报废吧

### 4/5 — 🤣🤣🤣

*2026-02-09*

这是给Xplane设置航线用的地图，还想在手机上玩？没门，玩你的GeoFS去吧

### 2/5 — Connects, but nothing else.

*2026-01-30*

Seems like a great idea, not really usable on even an iPhone pro max without good glasses. But after it connects that’s it. Shows the connection info, and nothing else. Not intuitive to get past configuration and connection. Will try again later, but it’s not plug and play with xplane even when xplane is configured for it.

### 3/5 — No Toliss support

*2025-08-19*

Although this app is amazing and does pretty much everything I’d like, I fly the Toliss a320 and would much like the failures to be apart of this software, this feature would make this perfect. 

Please add the Toliss support for failures!!!!

### 3/5 — 不是飞行模拟吗

*2025-01-09*

### 1/5 — 是我的问题吗？

*2024-12-07*

### 1/5 — ？

*2024-12-06*

怎么打不开？

### 1/5 — 是游戏的问题还是我的问题？？！！

*2024-10-24*

不是？所以怎么开始？

### 1/5 — Lost all respect for Laminar Research

*2024-10-22*

They disabled Instructor Control Pad for xplane11. When I spent an hour trying to see what’s the problem and decided to reinstall the app, apparently is no longer available. The only control pad available is for xplane12. 

If Laminar Research thinks they will force me to buy XP12, they are mistaken. With this approach I’ll better get MSFS 2020 or 2024.

### 1/5 — doesn’t work

*2026-01-24*

after connecting to the sim all it will let me do is pause, quit xplane, shut down my computer, or adjust the app preferences.

### 1/5 — 怎么回事？

*2025-07-29*

这是不是一个飞行游戏呢？因为我进去了以后刚进去就没发现多少，然后就发生错误了，刚下载，然后就卸载了。

### 1/5 — 垃圾

*2025-03-11*

比垃圾还垃圾

### 1/5 — 进不去

*2025-02-03*

### 5/5 — 你们别再瞎拉评分了

*2026-03-01*

这玩意儿是给电脑版的XPlane12去做一个航空用平板的系统 不是让你去玩的 需要买正版的XPlane去连接

### 5/5 — I love it

*2025-09-14*

I teach my friends how to fly with this

### 5/5 — 这个不是用来玩的

*2025-08-19*

这个是连电脑的X-Plane12，是设置航线用的，不是给你玩的

### 5/5 — X-Plane 12 control board display

*2025-08-16*

It would be very interesting to get the same application with the capability to display différent board instrument interacting with the simulator

### 5/5 — 评论都是有病吗？

*2025-07-10*

少看点营销号吧
这只是个地图罢了

### 5/5 — 什么东西

*2025-06-21*

什么内容，到底玩什么

### 5/5 — It’s awesome

*2025-06-05*

I think this works really good with xplane love it

### 5/5 — Great for instructing

*2025-01-17*

App doesn’t have a great interface, but as an instruction tool, it’s fantastic to throw issues at a pilot, like a bird strike, and see what they’ll do. Remember your emergency flow?

### 5/5 — Have a question

*2024-09-26*

On xplane 11 for my pc, and or xplane mobile…… will this work because I see on the xplane 11 it has a setup for control pad but idk where to find it

### 4/5 — EFB display

*2026-05-15*

Looking for a solution to display EFB on a separate screen. This app does not provide this. I think it could…
