Great Aviation App
slowcrz
Works well and weather and routing information easy to get and well presented. Excellent tech support. User friendly.
Fantastic flight tool!
Stack151
Awesome flight planning tool that has the best weather tools on the market. A must have for IFR pilots. A far better value than Foreflight. Works great on flight simulator too.
Crashes
Mattjhhg
Just installed it on my Ipad Mini. I open it, it crashes. I open it, it crashes. Oh well
Best bang for the buck

Aerovie is a great app for the money. Bryan listens to feedback and is constantly updating the app to make it better. Be on the look out for this app to rise to the top in the Aviation market
Subscription problems
TPJ59
The app isn't bad. I liked the terrain clearance feature which gives a graphical depiction of weather and wind. My problem was that I kept getting charged monthly for subscription renewal and I couldn't stop it. Had to contact Apple to get them to shut down subscription. I really didn't like the app as much as Foreflight or Garmin Pilot.
So much potential!!!

I have been using this app now for few weeks. Although i believe it needs a little user interface refinements, it is by far the best EFB for weather planning out there. The weather profile is amazing and allows you to have a great sense of what is going to be forecasted ahead of time. As with all apps, this is going to improve a lot and I am looking forward to the next versions.
Best present flight weather available

The pre-flight weather information available is second to none. It's a true life saver and I can't see how anyone could function without it.
Very impressive foreflight like
Flyinghighagain
I'm using a trial sub on this app and find it very impressive so far. Seems very complete like foreflight which is my go to app.
Watch out Foreflight!

I used to subscribe to Foreflight and in the beginning they were clearly innovative. However, over the years that innovation has seemed to stagnate and the value added diminish. In using Aerovie I've been more than impressed with the feature set. One of the most valuable capabilities has been the graphical weather depiction that the software provides. This with the price point provides what I believe an equal if not greater value option than Foreflight.
