Verdict

The call

On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Jeppesen Aviator holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Air Navigation Pro has 644 ratings behind it against 15, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 58% of Air Navigation Pro's written reviews are positive against 0% of Jeppesen Aviator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Air Navigation Pro ships an update fortnightly, Jeppesen Aviator every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on November 10, 2026 and November 11, 2026 respectively.
