Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Flight IFR Nav Trainer at Free against Interceptions's $0.99. Flight IFR Nav Trainer also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (299 vs 2). Interceptions's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Flight IFR Nav Trainer holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight IFR Nav Trainer has 299 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Interceptions's written reviews are positive against 48% of Flight IFR Nav Trainer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Interceptions ships an update every 3 weeks, Flight IFR Nav Trainer every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 4, 2026 respectively.
