Virtual VOR vs E6B
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Virtual VOR
This navigation app allows users to place a VOR (VHF Omnidirectional Range) beacon anywhere on a map. It provides VOR-DME and ADF gauges for flight simulation or training purposes.
- Place VOR beacons anywhere
- VOR-DME gauge display
- ADF gauge display
- Customizable VOR placement

E6B
This app provides a comprehensive suite of aviation calculations for pilots, including weather, preflight planning, in-flight adjustments, and weight and balance computations. It also offers a wide range of unit conversions for aviation-related metrics.
- Weather calculations (pressure/density altitude, crosswind)
- Preflight planning (airspeed, heading, fuel)
- In-flight calculations (true airspeed, altitude, groundspeed)
- Weight and balance with custom aircraft profiles
- Extensive unit conversions
- Time math (add/subtract times)

E6B is a modern flight computer for iPhone and iPad — built for student E6B is a modern flight computer for iPhone and iPad — built for student pilots, instrument candidates, and working aviators who need fast, accurate calculations without fumbling with a physical whiz wheel. WEATHER • Pressure & Density Altitude — from baro setting, OAT, and field elevation • Crosswind, Headwind & Tailwind — enter wind speed, direction, and runway heading • Cloud Base & Freezing Level — AGL and pressure altitude • Hydroplane Speed PREFLIGHT • Planned True Airspeed — from CAS, pressure altitude, and OAT • Required CAS / Required TAS — reverse-solve airspeed equations • Heading & Groundspeed — full wind triangle solution • Compass Heading — with magnetic variation and compass deviation • Leg Time — solve any one of time, speed, or distance • Fuel Required & Endurance • Planned Mach Number • Time Math — add and subtract times in HH:MM:SS IN-FLIGHT • Actual True Airspeed — from CAS, altitude, and OAT • Actual True Altitude — corrected for non-standard temperature • Groundspeed — from elapsed time and distance • Fuel Per Hour — from fuel used and elapsed time • Distance Flown WEIGHT & BALANCE Build custom aircraft profiles with stations, limits, and CG envelopes. Load passengers, fuel, and cargo — E6B calculates total weight, moment, and CG in real time. Save multiple profiles for different aircraft. CONVERSIONS Bidirectional converters for: NM ↔ SM ↔ km, feet ↔ meters, °C ↔ °F, inHg ↔ mb, lbs ↔ kg, US gallons ↔ liters, HH:MM:SS ↔ decimal hours, Avgas and Jet A weight (gallons or liters to pounds), and minimum climb gradient to percent or degrees.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: E6B at 5.0 against Virtual VOR's 4.0. E6B also leads on ads (none vs shown). Virtual VOR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and ratings volume (46 vs 7). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. E6B sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Virtual VOR asks for nothing beyond the download.
E6B holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Virtual VOR has 46 ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two.
