Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
