Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Avionics Pro at 100% against IFR Trainer Flight Instruments's 52%. Avionics Pro also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 6) and rating (5.0 vs 4.5). IFR Trainer Flight Instruments's advantage is ratings volume (959 vs 2) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
