Xavion vs FlightLogStats
Price, ratings, monetisation and update history for both apps, side by side — with what reviewers say about each.
Xavion
This app provides critical in-flight guidance for engine failures, calculating safe glide routes to airports. It also offers 3D instrument approaches, tracks aircraft and their wake turbulence, and displays real-time weather data. Additionally, it assists with pre-flight planning, weight and balance calculations, and takeoff performance analysis.
- Engine-out glide path calculation
- 3D instrument approaches
- ADS-B aircraft and wake turbulence tracking
- Real-time ADS-B weather display
- Weight and balance calculations
- Takeoff distance estimation
- Enroute time and fuel burn estimation

In flight, Xavion constantly imagines engine-failed glides to every runway in gliding range, and then shows you the safest-possible route as a Highway-In-The-Sky to take to an airport in the event of engine failure. This, finally, gives you guidance after an engine failure that is based on energy-management all the way down. Xavion also has instrument approaches in 3-D for the United States, so you can simply select any approach and then fly through the hoops to fly it! As well, Xavion tracks other airplanes via ADS-B, and memorizes their location to track their WAKE TURBULENCE, moving the wake turbulence down and with the wind over time, showing the wake turbulence as little spiraling tornados. Finally, an App that tracks and shows you the wake turbulence of other airplanes. As well, Xavion gets ADS-B weather if you have a portable receiver, and displays it, including the new icing, turbulence, and lightning products. Xavion also gets METARS and winds aloft from the internet if you have a WIFI or cell signal to help you plan before a flight! Also, Xavion checks your weight and balance, and even estimates your takeoff distance and compares that to the length of the runway that you are about to take off on to warn you if the available runway length from your current location is marginal for a safe take-off. Also, Xavion estimates time and fuel burn at all different altitudes to any destination, showing you the time and fuel burn required for each altitude enroute, so you can pick the best altitude. All USA VFR and IFR charts and plates are included with base subscription.

This app is intended to simplify the workflow of synchronising garmin G1000 and perspective flight log from the cockpit to different devices. It also helps do a quick review from your ipad of the file before you get to a computer or network and uploaded to different online services for analysis. # Intended Usage and Workflow - Using a USB SD Card reader, plugin the SD Card containing the logs to your iPad or device and from the list of flight logs on the app press the plus button, navigate to the simcard from the file selection page. The app should discover automatically the log files on the sim card and import them into the app and your iCloud drive. It may take a bit of file to process the files if your simcard contains many logs. After the first use only new log files will be discovered and imported, you do not need to individually select the missing file, the app will find what it is missing. Once the files have been imported, you can - review the information on a specific file, which can give you quick access to timings or fuel used while still in the cockpit - review some statistics over time, the app will group flight and summarize trips away from base. - the files will be synchronised on your iCloud Drive, so you can access them from other devices seeemlessly, for example after importing from your ipad, you can review the files et export them from your macos computer if you installed the macos version of the app. If you start the app on another device with the iCloud Drive synchronised the flights will be also available to browse from the app. - upload a file to FlySto.net. Note this app is independent of FlySto, but only provide connectivity to their upload API to simplify workflow. You can check the support website for example of uses. # Limitation This is a first version of the app, it is open source, and if people find it useful, some of these limitations will be worked on. This has only been tested with garmin log from from garmin perspective plus device. This currently only process information from one device/plane. The app is open source, submit issues on github if you have find a problem, please be tolerant on your reviews as this is free and just an attempt to help. # Disclaimer This app and its information should not be used for primary decision making related to flight planning and all estimations should be independently validated.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: FlightLogStats at none against Xavion's 2. Xavion's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (99 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement 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. Xavion sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. FlightLogStats asks for nothing beyond the download.
Xavion holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Xavion has 99 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Xavion ships an update every 4 days, FlightLogStats every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 10, 2026 respectively.
