Awesome App

Pro pilot 1

I know all the rave is for fore flight. But I have been using this app instead of fore flight in a professional environment for several months. Honestly, I don't get the fore flight hype. This app performs flawlessly on my iPad mini for both VFR and IFR flights. It has the exact same function and includes some extra benefits the others don't have. Considering it's free! and requires no subscription, it's a no brainier! Great app! Highly recommend!

Must have for Fltplan.com users

What can I say, this app just keeps getting better and better. I am so impressed with what is available at my finger tips from this app. Why anyone would pay for a flight planning website is beyond me. This app, and the their website are the best things going. PLEASE TRY IT OUT, you won't be sorry.

Multiple Bugs

Another Pilot

I have been using this app almost everyday for a year now and have finally decided to just go back to using it on my web browser. The password gets dumped every time I open the app and I always have to fill in my credentials (not a setting, still no problems with other password apps). Every time you hit the back button it takes you to the login screen versus the last page. The back button has never really worked it just, it just sits there doing nothing. The app moves very slowly. When you commanded to do something there's no indication that it took your command. So you hit it multiple times and 10 seconds later it freaks out. I really wish FLT plan would get this thing working properly so that I could start using it again. For now it's much easier to just go to your Internet browser.

Please rebuild rather then giving yourself 5Star reviews.

This is the clearest example of programmers writing their own reviews rather then reading others and fixing the app!!

Login doesn't work

This app is horrible on the iPhone. Have to use the regular browser. Will not stay logged in, notification every new page that you need to re login. iPad app works great. Please fix for iPhone.

Great!

I love that this app is free and has many features that help it compete with the paid apps. My only problem, and it happens with the iphone and tablet, is that I often have to download the new charts twice (sectionals usually). This means as a standard part of my preflight I will update maps then upon checking when the download has completed, that I still have the expired charts! If I otherwise trusted the app I would end up flying on old charts. It's my only gripe but I feel it's fairly serious. Fortunately it's easy to check that the charts are current, and I have never had a problem in the aircraft with this app and I do trust it.

Love this App!!!

I absolutely love this app. I'm a pilot in training and cannot justify the high prices some other apps demand.... and wouldn't even consider it after discovering this gem. Thank you so much for creating and supporting such a great flying app - I love being able to use this app while flying and while simulating flights in x-plane. Thanks !!!!!

Exactly what I've been looking for!

Absolutely awesome app! Incredibly well organized and thorough, plus you can't beat the price!

A mixed bag

First and foremost, this is an amazing app for free. Lots of great features: free geo-referenced sectionals, en route and approach charts. Compares favorably to Garmin Pilot for $150/year. Lacks terrain and obstacle data and warnings. Also no synthetic vision, attitude indicator or other AHRS features. Reportedly works with a number of external gps units but not with the Garmin GDL 39. Not sure if it supports ADS-B in features such as weather and traffic. Not surprised for a free app. The most puzzling thing for me is that despite its name, there is no flight planning or editing in the app itself. You need to do all that on the website, and I find the website planning to be frequently confusing and un-intuitive. If you can stifle yourself long enough to learn the web planner, it does a great job and produces nice flight logs. If you have room on your device, it's a no brainer to install and use as a backup, if nothing else. However, avoiding frustration and enjoying the benefits of a top-tier aviation app is worth the $150 for me. I have been using Garmin Pilot for two years. It started out with lots of rough edges and bugs, but has evolved into a first class all-purpose aviation app. Many of my friends use ForeFlight, which seems to match Garmin feature-for-feature. My net recommendation is to flip a coin, or whatever, and choose either Garmin Pilot or ForeFlight, spend the $75-150 per year and enjoy the amazing features and utility that was unimaginable only a few years ago. If you absolutely can't afford that, or won't, then use the free app and resign yourself to limited features and utility. Having one of these EFB products on board is absolutely mandatory.

Love the app. Love it for my VFR and light IFR flying. I use both the iPad and the iPhone version. It's nice to have so much backup to cockpit instruments.
