## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work, no help

*2018-10-19*

Terrible product and worse tech support. Don’t buy from this company.

### 1/5 — Can not use it.

*2018-09-10*

Problem started couple of weeks ago when my iPad was updated to OS. 11.0 It works with my iPhone X. Don’t know what to do. I thought the problem was FlyQ until tonight reading all these comments. So, what are we suppose to do?

### 1/5 — Does work with iOS 11

*2017-11-27*

Doesn’t work with iOS 11 and it’s been useless fo so long, it appears the developer has no interest in keeping it up to date. I’ll never spend money on a product from this company again.

### 1/5 — iOS 11

*2017-09-24*

This app will not work with iOS 11. It was nice when it worked, no more.....

### 1/5 — App crashes

*2015-04-11*

App functioned with earlier version of iOS, but crashes when receiving any data.  Absolutely no support for use with dual receiver

### 1/5 — IOS, or other issue?

*2014-10-22*

Not sure if due to Apple IOS upgrade, but can not adjust XGPS 170 status page. Using FlightPlanGo App, iPad freezes between 'procedures/airport diagram' and 'maps' pages. States connected, but app unusable. Crashes at critical points. Lack of reachable support with FlightPlan Go App and/or Dual XGPS 170 tech people. Unfortunately, did not use in aircraft before IOS upgrade, so can't compare. Currently, unusable.

### 1/5 — ios 8 compatible?

*2014-10-22*

App crashes. Cannot adjust unit settings such as brightness and sleep times. Touch screen does not respond. Is it just me? Seems like it worked a few weeks ago before upgrading my operating system to iOS 8. Useful app when it works.

### 2/5 — Dual XGPS no longer works with FlyQ EFB?

*2016-09-19*

Not sure of the source of the problem, but I no longer see traffic and weather, only GPS in FlyQ EFB. I fly at night, and got caught in cumulus clouds because I was not getting radar images. I have ADS-B out installed in my plane. What has happened?

### 3/5 — Need update

*2018-03-20*

Need update

### 3/5 — Update Status Tool

*2017-11-20*

Try to update to the Status Utilities - link below. 
This fixed weather reporting. Info screens a bit different. Will update rating after use in flight.

For some reason the app can't connect to my receiver
