EFB - Charts and Weather for Aviation

When is the iOS 8x update release date This is unusable until a fix has been created since the application immediately closes after launching     iOS 8x not supported

You only get one month free and you have to list your credit card to try the app     Not free

This one is a hidden gem Easy to use and excellent value                 Great app

You keep adding great features for the best price                 Excellent

A free app with sectional charts Great I have not used it in flight but understand it will provide moving charts if paired with GPS Would have no complaints if added the abilities to annotate course and to pointtouch for alternate headings This would legitimately replace all functions performed with maps provided it would provide new headings and distance The speed calculations would be another bonus but this is an incredible improvement over map shuffling not to mention the space savings for additional maps                 affordable EFB

Wow I can see charts without an Internet connection approach plates too Wish that it could search for intersections and highlight intended route              Finally one that can actually save maps to the iPad

Still the best value out there                 Excellent

I have tried other apps paid subscription but I found this app giving most critical info for free and it works great And remember work is in progress on adding more features so you may not get all of what you get on other apps but in due course it will be good also Again it is the best one I love it                 Great

I have tried a bunch of these aps and they are getting more and more complicated EFB is simple I can enjoy flying the airplane and have intuitive access to what I need I dont want to take seminars read manuals or try to remember how to find my way through a complicated ap if you want to keep it simple EFB is your ap                 A simple intuitive tool

No plates for airports outside US Too bad     Plates missing

Used this on a 80 nm cross country Worked very well The position on the map works very well For my shortish 4080 nm cross country flights VFR this is more than adequate My paper maps can stay in the back of the plane                 Great app

Takes forever for program to load every time Emailed support no response Tries to connect to Internet in the plane to verify subscription if I need it in a pinch tough luck I like charts and ability to make notes and highlight them but app issues make it hard to like even though I already bought a subscription Will not renew it the demo didnt have the sloooooow issues        Doesnt live up to demo

Its not the easiest to navigate and lacks many features that you get with foreflight or the garmin app Overall its not a bad app but I gave it two stars because it crashed on me twice in the air It has worked since but it does me no good on the ground        Poor program

Locks on free trail message     Will not open

Was and still is an outstanding app now they recently started charging a subscription once I updated After the trial period ends Ill be somewhere else Not worthy of a subscription           Oh well

I think they may only have one person running this operation I have tried all day to renew I keep getting someone that tells me to go to the site and click on customer support then hanging up They sent an email out to renew on site instead of through the app store for a discount but all I get are pages of HTML code Most crews I run across around the country use fore flight and maybe they are onto something For I think if we are going to start using EFBs in the cockpit then our charts should be through a well established company I am not even going to give these people one star Well I had to give them one star before I can post this So here you are folks     Customer support

App seems great Have not used it much Still waiting on all the charts to download Thats the big negative Takes way too long Need to be able to select individual charts or regions The only way to do that is with the approach plates and even that is too big now Once I wait for all the downloads then I can review the app in more detail Still waiting        Download time consuming

The approach plates need to be fixed Whenever you try and load an approach plate the only thing that comes up is the Aerodome sketch Needs fixing for anyone who is planning on flying IFR The Charts Wx and airport info works fine Just needs some transitionflow improvements between different programs           Not bad Needs some improvements

For free with charts plates and afd without a subscription this is a great deal The down side is it comes configured for airport data enabled As soon as I enabled the charts and plates it took over 48 hours to download what appeared to be about 3gb of data There was no way to cancel the download either Tried deleting the app and reinstalling and the download picked up where it left off Im afraid to turn on plate caching as it looks like it will be another 6gn of download and do not care to wait 7 days for it to complete If they fix the download performance to match that of foreflight and hilton software this would be a 5 star app        Great conept poor downloads

This app used to be affordable now 99 per year Way too much     What happened

100 per year Seriously For an app that cant even do flight planning Foreflight has way more capability for less money Looks like the only unique thing EFB has to offer is XM device support But if you have an XM antenna you almost certainly are already using it with a handheld GPS which has among other capabilities flight planning This app would be easily worth considering if the price were in the neighborhood of 20 per year which is what Skycharts charges But for 100year No thanks     Way overpriced

Just loaded it today to my IPAD The sectionals and charts cant be used for flight planning you cannot draw a line from point to point cannot measure distances cannot determine bearings When you zoom in on sectionals at some point the white inset borders grey out and over enlarge making the data under it unreadable The plates seem good Well other than that Mrs Lincoln how was the play        Dr Mooney

I dont know why the previous gentleman rated 3 out of 5 and said the presentation could be better The truth is the usability is amazing You can tell they spent a lot of time testing with real pilots This app will increase your productivity and efficiency inflight and as a result make you a better pilot Looking forward to continued improvements and feature enhancements with EFB                 Best Productivity App for Pilots

I love the electronic charting approach plates and airport information I find the routing tool mind boggling and not at all intuitive           A lot of information at a reasonable cost

Once installed this app is a Giant Killer Now having said that it did take awhile to completely download the data approx 6 hours for IAPs 4 States the Airport Data and the Charts grand total 21 gb of data As others have pointed out the capability to tailor the Chart download items would be a big improvement As a Part 135 helicopter pilot I really dont need or want the High Alt IFR charts or for that matter those Sectionals and Low ALt IFR charts for areas I dont normally operate in A few things would improve this app and send it over the top 1st come up with a refresh button The ability to force a refresh of the Airport Info weather and the radar data would I feel increase the comfort level of using this data by providing the most up to data info The AeroWeather App has this feature if you need a reference 2nd allow the radar to loop Showing the movement of cells would enhance the usefulness of the app in both the preflight phase and the inflight operation 3rd Incorporate a route planner This could be as simple as radial and distance from 2 airportsfixes to an advanced feature laden planner along the lines of NavMonster with weather stations along the route and entries for winds and multiple legs Weve installed this on 8 iPad 2s for the remainder of our fleet to evaluate over the next month or so and look forward to any improvements you come up with Really nice app well done              Rapidly becoming my favorite app

I first downloaded this app because it was free This made it OK when flying and I went from a sectional to a TAC and there was a huge white line and missing information under the line at the transition point I would continue using this program at 20 per year but not for 99 a year I will probably go with what my CFI uses ForeFlight Sigh     99 Ouch

I bought a 30 day registration USD 20 I bought a Tripkit 5 airports USD 9999 and that is as far as you get Impossible to download chartsplates Tried contacting them with no luck     International

Now why would anyone want to filter out heliports As a Helo pilot I find that offensive jk Thank you for the update to an already great tool                 Filter out Heliports

Cant seem to download anything App freezes and then quits Have tried many times to restart Requires registration future price unknown Seems like its not ready for prime time     Downloads Failing

Did not even work The screen was black and it just was a bad app I recommend not getting it I am a pilot and I would rather pay money for something better this this crap it worthless and is just bad dont get it        Bad app

The trial version doesnt even launch     Doesnt Even Launch

these plates and charts are very good You get geosync on plates low ifr high ifr vfr and all plates also with great HD Weather A smaller company with a big heart for the general aviation crowd Jeff is always trying to make it easier better etc Try it you will not be disappointed Compare to others and what you really need and you will find this is intuitive and without clutter                 best value

Looks nice presentation could be better Big Is what will it cost           How much will it cost

I really havent had a problem running any app until trying this one Takes about 10 to 15 seconds to switch from tab to tab All other programs closed and system updated           Runs poorly on IPhone 4S

App is simple and functional Works well with external GPS and XM weather Wish it supported adsb devices but cant fault it for that Well laid out Own ship option on most charts and airport diagrams Love that it includes AFD Even works on old iPad 1 running ios 51 Hope they dont abandon this project any time soon              Im impressed And bargain priced

This app was fine when it was free Now I will be switching to Foreflight           Price

As posted already by another client when trying to download an update an error message is generated that there is no Internet connection there is however an Internet connection available I am going to look for another comparable application     No Internet connection problem

This app says free but requires registration and then charged after one month     Not free

I downloaded this after updating to iOS 8 the app will not stay open At first I thought it was a problem with the program but a friend had similar problems with other apps after the update     iOS 8 not compatible

Works EXACTLY as advertised Other reviewers should read before posting irrelevant comments and downgrading Nice work on this App                 Exactly as advertised

Nice Brings everything together in a super intuitive package Really like the decoded weather forecasts easy save and recall routes and split screen function Hope to see future releases enable choice of knots or miles for both distance and ground speed Would also like more refined download of charts by region or state to reduce download time and storage space                 Great features

First off this company is pretty much saying on their website that this app can be used for more than just entertainment purposes including the maps But the maps are pretty much similar to others like foreflight and they never claim the maps can be used for navigational purposes especially since the maps have stuff cut off where they are pieced together How can I rely on something for inflight use if symbolstext are missing or cut off Personally I would recommend avcaddy efb that has complete charts costs half as much and some intelligent routingcalculation features and flight planning or foreflight that has good wx info     Not that great

I have an iPad 2 WiFi3G and this app continually tells me there is no Internet connection even though I have full WiFi strength and 5 bars of 3G Ill give it a better rating when its more stable Right now I cant recommend it     Internet Connection Problem

This app could be really great but it is not for many reasons The content plates maps etc the app offers is as good as what any other app offers Specifically they offer georeferenced plates where some of the other providers in similar apps like Foreflight charge extra My main gripe is that one cannot really flight plan a trip in this app In other words say I want to go from KCLT to KFLL with an RNAV departure and an RNAV arrival I would depart runway 36R on the Buckl 7 RNAV departure to Buckl intersection then fly direct CAE Beeno intersection direct OMN Fisel2 Arrival to KFLL You cannot set this up in advance of your flight which in my mind is just plan goofy They may sell a package to allow one to do what I outline above but I am sure it will be much more expensive IF it is available I havent checked because I am already regretting my purchase This app is good for airport to airport flying but forget about flying to a specific intersection on a map At least with the Foreflight or Jeppensen app one can do this albeit at a higher cost Bottom line save your money as this app isnt worth your money The company has been saying for a while that big changes are coming If they fix this app to do what I mentioned above I will update my review and star rating     Lacking in so many ways

The app worked great until I upgraded my iPad2 to the iOS 6 system last week Now it will not load I have reset my tablet several times with no success Previous rating was 5     Does Not Work with iPad2 using iOS6

This app has several flaws However as long as paper backups are carried it is a decent efb Just be careful of sectionals that dont line up correctly and IFR charts will change randomly or not be available even if cached B           Ok

Just downloaded the app after visiting the booth at SunNFun Im used it for some of my 900nm trip back home Im completely aware that some of my information below might be due to not really understanding the app but it is not very intuitive The goodprice Sorry that is it The not so gooddownloading data Very clunky data downloadupdates Once starting the downloads could not stop the process to make changes I realized that I selected the wrong states and had to delete the app to stop the download and start downloading the correct states Original download took overnight and even then did not completely download all the Information I thought I had downloaded all the chart types but later realized that the VFR charts did not download Charts clarity Loss of clarity to read airport chart informationespecially in a cockpit environment when Zooming into the VFR chartsnot so bad with the low IFR charts My guess is that This zoom clarity must be costly to develop and separates this app from the big guys For information I have the IPAD 4 Georeferenced approach plates This is the main reason I considered this app To say it plainly they are not georeferenced enough for me Doing a few approaches I found that the referenced indicator was off by a few thousand feet maybe a mile I know that the referenced plates are only to be used as as a guide but other apps that provide spacial reference as part of their moving map functions not georeferenced were as close as these georeferenced plates Summary Great price and as good as most low cost small portable GPS units Anywheremap ATC comes to mind but not enough chart clarity when zooming using an IPAD Very clunky download process that is so user UNFRIENDLY that there is a real possibility that you will not have the needed cached data when using this app offline This app has not convinced me that they are an alternative to the bug guys As much as I dont want to spend the needed for the big guys app if I want the capabilities and features I have not found any lower cost options        Good but not ready to compete with the big guys

Well laid out Easy to use in the busy cockpit Doesnt include useless bells and whistles Own ship position included free on all maps and most approach charts and taxi diagrams AFD included Wish it would support adsb but cant fault them for that Hope for continued support for this app A years subscription for the price of a good meal                 Perfect for the flying pro Very inexpensive
