Needs to be able to stay on
ImUrPropofol
It should have an option to prevent the auto-lock feature from kicking in, like in ForeFlight. It's just not a smart design to have the timer feature, which doesn't involve screen interaction, allowing the screen to go blank. Fix that and I'll adjust my rating.
A wast of money
Kayaker 3
Do not wast your money on this app. It has no help page and I have still not figured our how to do a weight & balance. Buy a hand held E6B. It is much better than this one. It is pretty useless to me. I want my money back!!!
Nice App
Flying W
Nice App. Only things I would like to see would be an "enter" and "Conv" button on the keypad like on the electronic E6B. Weight and balance entry needs reworked. Is a hassle to enter the way it is set up now. Would also be nice to have a conversion button and pop up window to convert any window or result without having to re-enter in the conversion side of the app. Would also like to have the same screen view in landscape or portrait.
Outdated and Dangerous!
Fun sapian
Very easy to input the wrong data due to not clear and cumbersome input method. Found a couple of $0.99 apps that are MUCH better. For those used to the old electronic calculator style it is good, but this is iOS, Sporty's can do much better!
Count down timer is poorly implemented
LEK2
The setting of the initial value on the countdown timer has some problems… the picker doesn't respond to scrolling properly. Also, when you reset the countdown timer, instead of resetting to the initial value (as for timing an approach), it uselessly resets to zero. The keypad seems slow to respond to taps, unlike the built-in Apple keypad. There is no audible feedback.
Needs iPhone 5 support
cberau
Use native keyboard to input numbers instead of the stupid sportys custom keypad. Interface needs to be way cleaner, ugly as hell. Functionally, it works ok if you pop a few Xanax.
iPhone 5 UPDATE
stephendjohnson
When are they going to have an iPhone 5 update. Also weight and balance for multiple aircraft! Every time I fly a new aircraft I need to re-enter the weight and balance data. Also need iCloud support so any time I update my phone I do not nee to start from scratch.
Great for quick calcs for shifting winds!
Ilsrwy27r
Just downloaded that last night. Student pilot who's doing his xc's. really came in great during the flight planning AND in the plane during the approaches. I needed to recalculate the crosswinds quickly (was on downwind) since the winds were shifting and I have 7 Kt x-wind limit. Entered a few numbers and was able to request another runway just in time :-). I haven't had a change to explore all if the other functions, but so far, I'd recommend it!
Poor layout hinders awesome functions
Word master5
The layout does not utilize all the screen real estate. Many of the buttons could be made bigger for easier access. Also, the regular calculator function should be larger. This would help with hitting the correct button. The functions work great, but it is very difficult to use.
