Its pilot-friendly design makes quick work of any navigational, weight and balance, or fuel problem and it also performs conventional arithmetic calculations.
The advanced timer/clock feature simultaneously tracks Zulu, Local and Home time zones. The timer counts either up or down, and will display an alert when reaching zero.
The included Apple Watch app runs natively on the watch (no iPhone required after it's installed) and includes the same 22 functions and 18 conversions as the iPhone/iPad app.

WEIGHT & BALANCE CALCULATOR
The new weight & balance calculator makes computing aircraft loading problems a breeze. The app allows you to create and store multiple aircraft profiles, and then quickly edit the various weights and arms for quick calculations. After adding the weight of your pilot and passengers, fuel and baggage, you’ll instantly see your takeoff weight and center of gravity (CG). It’ll also compute zero fuel weight and landing weight, and shows an instant analysis to to verify that you’re within limits.

Inflight fuel calculation error
Nsn141
So I have an issue when calculating inflight fuel burn (using the inflight fuel per hour). When I set it to 4 minutes using a fuel burn of 5.75 per hour I get 86.2 gallons. That's clearly not right. Like others have said, density altitude is off and so are several other functions.
Works, if the function button would stop disappearing.

On both iPads, the function button in top left is just missing. It’s there on my google phone version, but not on the iOS version. Needs to be fixed, unusable as is.
What happened to Weight and Balance?
KJ7PJS
I had the old version of this app and it included weight and balance. The newest version of the app took that feature away. That is why I’m giving it 1 star. The weight and balance feature was one of the main features I used in this app.
Can I have the old one back?
Mkolber
Updated: Not as useful. I've heard people report missing functions. In my case I had favorites, a small group of functions I actually used in flight. In its place is a list of "saved" functions. I have no idea who decided to save them for special treatment. unlike what I said in my original post, you can add and remove Saved items, I guess I was expecting to be able to do that from the list, like at least 90% of the other apps I use. Instead this app made a design decision to put that ability in the numeric keyboard when using a function. IOW, to remove a starred favorite, you don't just swipe it away or un-star or edit the list, you have to use it to lose it.
How to get the old version back?

iTunes won’t correctly authorize my computer to let me reinstall the old version. Could Sportys PLEASE make the original version available in the app store. It looked better, easier to use, and performed E6B functions better. How can so many of us who want it, get the old version back?

Bring this feature back, I used it everyday. I rarely use your app since the w/b was removed.
Version 3.0.3 Fixes All Issues
TCarmo
This version fixes all the major issues. The new Sporty’s E6B has finally arrived. Look forward to using it on my next trip. Thanks!
Update is horrible
TGALLAHER
Have had this app for years. Now sportys wanted to change it up for some reason. And guess what? It is horrible.
What happened to weight and balance?

The App I bought two years ago had a very useful wight and balance function. I cannot find this function in the new, updated version. No longer a fully functional app and not what I paid for.
