Too complicated and slow.

The old plain FltPlan app was better than this Go app. I just need a way to file flight plans quick and easy from my iPhone without WiFi. The Go app is way too complicated for iPhone and takes way too many steps trying to file. It’s not user friendly at all on the iPhone. It takes up way too much memory. I’m also tired of all the download popping up. If I need the download. Then I’ll ask for it. Need just a quick easy way to file flight plans. .
Fltplan Go is BETTER than Foreflight !

I use this app on my iPhone 7. I fly single-cockpit 180 knots VFR at 1,000 AGL below a Class B with 2 underlying Class C and 6 underlying Class D airports. All in mountainous terrain. The moving map TAC chart shows me exactly where I am with superb ground detail. By glancing at my iPhone I can keep my head out of the cockpit. Just what I need. Foreflight et al have way to much “high and IFR” stuff for quick safe low-level VFR navigation. KISS !
Constantly needs updating

I used to use the FltPlan app that was an exclusive Flight Tracker and it worked great for checking the status of my company’s aircraft in real-time. Once they shut down that app and moved it to this app, I’ve found it easier to just use Safari; log in to FltPlan.com; and see the FlightTracking. When you open the app, it always gripes at you that an update is needed. After updating the app with tons of data, I don’t need or have use for; it’s a 5 step process to get to the Flight Tracking status of the plane I want to see. A day or so later, the app is already needing updating again!!! Arrrggghhh!
Great potential. Incredibly slow, buggy, and lacks easy UI

The app gives all the great info needed. As a charter pilot I use this app multiple times daily. If/when a competing app emerges, unfortunately I’d 100% use it instead as things stand. I feel like I can’t give more than one star until FltPlan fixes things. 1) 50% of the time the flight plan page works great, the other times it gets stuck saying “loading” after clicking “create Flight plan” 2) loading the nav logs. Where do I even begin? a) the nav logs take forever to download and if you try to download two at once you’ll usually get an error, or one will still show as not-downloaded (even if it actually was)... you can only check by refreshing the pulldown tab which again takes forever or pops up an error. It’s such a pain and every pilot I know gripes about this. 3) downloading procedures: another common area that results in an error or “unable to download” (again...error pops up even if you’ve successfully downloaded) 3 again) when downloading procedures you have to type the airport name/code... but if there were suggested airports from recent nav logs/flight plans, it would make things SO much easier. I don’t mean to be too harsh or rude, but FltPlan hasn’t seemed to change a thing in years. This app needs to be fixed before a better alternative comes around. I will gladly change the poor rating once the usability and errors are corrected. Update/response: ummmm no. I literally outlined all the problems for you already. I’m not going to copy and paste this exact same thing into an email.
