ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iGlide Lite holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 1.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iGlide Lite has 12 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 51% of iGlide Lite's written reviews are positive against 71% of flyNav Flight Navigation's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iGlide Lite ships an update every 5 months, flyNav Flight Navigation every 4 months. Both last shipped on October 29, 2026.
