EFB-Pro Reviews

Not there yet

Kyle Rusk

Looks like it has possible potential someday, but for now it crashes and just doesn't work...at all. Hopefully a new version soon.

Don't like it YET! Windows version on my laptop is great, but this version gets stuck on the performance TO page everytime. Has not worked past this point yet. Until this is fixed it is mostly worthless. Fix this and looks like it would be a great addition to my aviation apps.

still doesn't work

I just downloaded an update but all it does is ask for my name, email etc. When I enter those the screen slides over to the setup page then right back to the registration page telling me my registration data has expired. In fairness this is more action than I got with the first version I tried.

App is

You can't use the app without a subscription to the company's service, which is not free... The description does point this out, but it's in the last line. App was selected by the US Air Force for C-21 operations, so it's proably at least decent.

Unfortunately, I found this app to be unusable on the iPad. There seems to be several issues; A problem with screen orientation where the page is always vertically composed, but the keyboard will only pop-up horizontally, forcing you to turn your iPad 90 degrees every time you want to enter a new field. None of the pages would respond to screen rotation, so all screens are vertical, and the keyboard is always horizontal. Once you navigate away from the home menu screen, there's no way to get back without closing and reopening the app. Wouldn't allow me to enter custom or new aircraft or data, which would be fine if I was flying a Falcon, Lear, Citation XL, or the few other bizjets available. But doesn't do me much good in a C-421 or Pilatus. All of the pages were too big to fit on the iPad screen, and it wouldn't allow me to resize them or even move them around to see what I was missing. I'd hate to see what the first version was like.

Dose not work

I can't get out of the start screen. Do waste your time trying to get it to work.

Keeps Crashing

Program isn't worth downloading. Program goes to download fleet information/aircraft information, and give the same error it did several months ago, and tech support didn't/hasn't fixed it.

Still don't work

Need to fix the weight and balance. Can not select passengers. Need to fix ASAP

One of Our Most Important Tools

CloudCraft

My flight department operates high, hot and short, with the usual magic carpet expectations of the owners to lift lots of people and/or fuel in these conditions. Without EFB-Pro, we'd be frantically working spaghetti graphs for hours to find ways to fly our trips. With EFB-Pro we can model performance based on current, forecast or worse-case conditions. We can give fast and truthful answers to passengers' requests, along with suggestions on how to meet their expectations by changing some variables and by how much.. Truly, EFB-Pro is the backbone of our flight operations. iPad's V1.0.8 is the ultimate aircraft performance tool. I don't know how or why a modern flight department would operate without it.

Great tool with great support!

My company has been using EFB Pro for 5 years, and we currently have 5 different aircraft types we fly. It works well and is easy to use, providing us with both accurate AFM performance data and weight and balance calculations. In contrast to multiple one star reviews, Jim and his company have been very responsive in meeting our needs. We recently had him add another aircraft which was not in the database. We had several phone conversations and emails back and forth to ensure thorough entry and understanding. Anytime we need to update W & B numbers, or alter the user interface to meet our needs, Jim has worked quickly and professionally. I have not seen another app with this level of support. He has spent time explaining how his program works, answered questions regarding which charts are looked at to display a particular value, and helped me better understand the performance of my aircraft. I would not hesitate to recommend EFB Pro.
