Very usable even in the free version. A good confidence giver when flying solo against a fully planned route. Can be quote confusing figuring out where some functions are, and not very intuitive at times.

I wonder how I could fly without it. En France elle donne même les VAC, plus besoin de papiers ! :)

Simply a clunky interface. Made a flight plan. Have it loaded on the main screen, go to download documents and get the 'em you have not plans loaded message'. Confirmed it was loaded and it was. Overall non intuitive and too much hunting around to get things done. I have given this app two chances and it underwhelmed me both times.

Like a lot of pilots, my phone is my third/ fourth backup. Haven’t tested in the air yet, but this looks like a great HSI for emergency mode. The HSI would be much easier to read under stress at night than some of the alternative apps I have looked at. Keep up the great work!!

Flight assistant turns my android phone into the perfect flight companion. The UI could be improved but is functional as is making it possible to plan flights and switch between views depending on your objective. Thank to the team for a great app

But..I don't actuallymind registering in readiness for version 2... but I don't want to use either Google or Facebook. I don't do either. Isn't there a more general way of registering? ??

After creating a map folder on my micro SD card (Samsung Galaxy Tab 3) it will not let me connect to it saying 0 space on SD card even though it has 29 GB space left on it. SD card works with another Aviation APP. I can't find anything about how to remedy this problem.

On my samsung tab 3 it works a charm! I know that the tab3 has a pretty good GPS and it hangs onto a location tenaciously. Coupled with this app it makes an amazing Flight management system. Since a recent update, point and click for way points is great. Once you learn how to create airfields that aren't on the database it becomes a really great system

Amazing app, I just hope that in the next versions we'll be able to download charts, or better yet, Brazilian charts from AISWEB like another user mentioned before, and any other country where we can get free charts. Keep up the good work!

There is a free Brazilian oficial database for download for free all information about. Take a look http://www.aisweb.aer.mil.br/index.cfm also could exist any way to import AIRAC database from a file like import.gpx ? it would be helpfully for others countries without suscription. There is a free database for download AIRAC cycle selecting a square of 4 coordenates www.pilotofx.com

1 no longer supported and maps downloads have been removed. V2 does not show all airspaces. The whole point of the app for me is to avoid Gatwick Heathrow southampton and MATZ in class g such as Odiham. Boscombe down.
