AeroW&B is an extremely versatile weight and balance calculator designed for general aviation use. It features both a tabular output, and a graphic weight and balance representation. The app allows you to create as many aircraft types as you need. There are no ‘in app’ purchases to 'hopefully' get the aircraft type you are flying. You can create the aircraft types yourself, or if having problems email me your aircraft info and I can do it for you. Once you have created an aircraft type, you can create as many aircraft of that type as you want. It is perfect for both the student at a flight school that may have a number of 172′s, 150′s etc, or for the renter. You can email, print or AirDrop your weight and balance calculations. This is a handy feature for commercial operations.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: PDF Translator at Free against AeroW&B's $5.99. PDF Translator also leads on rating (4.2 vs 3.0) and ratings volume (478 vs 3). AeroW&B's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and review sentiment (33% vs 17%). On update cadence and ads 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
PDF Translator is free to download; AeroW&B costs $5.99 up front. PDF Translator sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. AeroW&B asks for nothing beyond the download.
PDF Translator holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PDF Translator has 478 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of AeroW&B's written reviews are positive against 17% of PDF Translator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
