WingX

Great program, slow on the updates

M20Pilot

Features like runway extension have disappeared, while new ones like ‘direct to’ are very good. Waiting for the next update...

Keeps getting worst

I bought an iPad to run this app. I’ve been using WingX since their early days and used to love it. Talked multiple people into getting this over the competition. Now updates are introducing problems. The new database that accentuates zoom dependent position errors was first. Now the airplane heading is wrong with the Dec 2019 update. I even had auto updates off to avoid changes before a trip but broke down around November and made automatic since Apple was releasing quite a few very close to one another. A mistake. I knew about the bug and thought I was going to be OK. Forgot I had changed that. Given how long it has taken to get a fix to the position issue, I’m guessing it will be forever for this one also. A shame, I like the ease of use and responsiveness of this app.

Heading indicator is off by 13 degrees

The heading indicator is off by 13 degrees when connected to my Stratus 3 with this latest update.

Works great

Can do everything I need it to do and much more. Great customer service as well, there was an issue with the AHRS while using Stratux that I emailed them about and the kept me updated periodically until it was fixed. Now that everything works I decided to review the app. It takes some time to learn all the features (I still don’t know them all) but it is easily a 5 star app and I highly recommend it. Thanks for supporting active military and veterans!

I can't even remember how long I have used this thing but it has worked nonstop the whole time. I fly all the time and often go to unfamiliar places. I typically fly alone and a fair amount of the time night or IFR. Flying is even a commute. How we ever managed with paper charts amazes me. Get a reliable tablet with a cell data plan and you have it all. This is flight planning made easy and without a suitcase full of paper you have to mess with all the time. This latest rev of the program is the best yet. And with ADS-B in it is great for planning traffic avoidance. Yes one can actually plan to avoid others rather than just dodge them. The connection to and appearance of data from ADS-B seems instant when paired with a Lynx NGT9000. I also prefer NOS charts and plates to Jep. This is somewhat a religion issue but for me it is just what i grew up with. Why not five stars? The briefing interface is a bit arcane but no worse than DUATS was. Leidos made a big improvement and I think WingX should too in this area. Part of the issue is not WingX but the NOTAM mess which even the government had complained about. Drive on Hilton as I hope to have afew more decades of good product.

Customer service is almost non-existent - Having more and more issues lately with the app

I Fly By GPS

Just ok, used to be awesome. Customer service has taken a turn for the worse and if you e-mail or call you will get voicemail and they will cal you back in 3-7 days. They used to have the best customer service, now if you have a problem you will wait and eventually decide that maybe one of the competing apps is a better match. I made the switch to a different app but will keep this app installed to see if they bring it around in the future.

Haven’t kept up with the competition

Finally gave up after using Wingx for years. I hope they are making money on their military contracts because Foreflight and Garmin Pilot have surpassed them by a fairly wide margin for GA features. I would have switched sooner but switching also means buying new portable AHRS unit.

Behind the Competition!

VIC-82

Wing X is falling way behind the competition at at fast pace. I kept the app installed in hopes of an update, but I finally gave up! FlyQ, Aerovie, are way ahead and they keep coming up with updates, I made the switch, and I don’t think I’m coming back on less Wing X comes back.

Meh

It’s ok, definitely not the best out there. I would never pay for it and only use it because it’s free for certain users.

Prog charts not working.

Aveinc123

Some time in late 2018 wingx pro stopped downloading the prog charts. After repeated calls and messages, I was told there was a bug that would be fixed right after the new year. It is still not fixed and no communications from Hilton. I just renewed db subscriptions so l'll stick a little longer, but I'm not sure they are continuing to maintain the software. I hope I'm wrong as I was an original user when it first came out. I'll look for them at OSH and see what they say.
