About UK AirspaceAVOID for Pilots
PocketFMS has been providing flight planning and moving map systems since 2003. UK AirspaceAVOID, which has been awarded the NATS ‘Airspace Awareness Compliance Mark’, is a free version of PocketFMS’s popular AirspaceAVOID app, which has been specially designed for pilots flying in the UK. The app requires a minimum of 768MB RAM.
PocketFMS developed UK AirspaceAVOID specifically to help pilots flying in the UK to avoid unintended entry into airspace or NOTAMed airspace. UK AirspaceAVOID is free to download and use. Airspace is updated every 28 days and these updates are also totally free. NOTAMs are provided by a live link to EuroControl, ensuring that you have the latest NOTAMs to hand. All NOTAM updates are of course also free.
UK AirspaceAVOID will show your position on the moving map so that you can see your position relative the airspace around you. You will get a warning as you approach an airspace which highlights the airspace boundary that you are approaching and provides you the appropriate call sign and frequency to contact in order to get a clearance to enter.
A position tab will give you your current position in a format that makes reporting your position to ATC easy, as well as giving you the frequency and call sign for the most relevant air traffic unit in your area, including a LARS if one is available.
A point briefing is generated for you in UK AirspaceAVOID with up-to-date NOTAMs via a live feed from EuroControl. NOTAMs can easily be reviewed, highlighted and unique to PocketFMS systems, hidden if appropriate. As you fly you will get a warning as you approach a NOTAM that you have not specifically hidden. You can store a copy of your NOTAM briefing in the PocketFMS cloud for later reference. Using PocketFMS’s unique EasyPrint feature you can easily print your briefing from your phone or tablet without the need for a special printer or software.
UK AirspaceAVOID should not be used outside the UK FIRs.

Great app for visualising NOTAMs before I fly, and I find I'm using it increasingly in the air as a situational awareness backup.

I am using this app to navigate on fsx using my phone, using an app available from play store that synchronises the two. As a real world student pilot having recently achieved my first solo I look forward to using this app on my phone during my next solo flight into the local training area to avoid inadvertently wandering into the Doncaster CTR.

N560 is shown as class e & tmz down to 5500. This is wrong it was altered in CAA decision letter 22nd may 2015 and lower limit raised to fl 195. Other than that fantastic app, well done.

While the May 2015 update is great on my Samsung and nexus tablets and my MOTO g phone, it no longer worked on my HTC desire, and I could not roll back to the previous version. Rob supplied an older version so it works again, but maybe not in the future due to compatibility. While they should have mentioned the limitation in the update description, the rapid response, over the weekend is magnificent. Genuine thanks and apologies for initial poor review. David inns

Absolutely fabulous free app that does exactly what it says. One suggestion for an improvement would be to have an option to display airfield names rather than their ICAO identifier.

Even the free version is easy to set up. Up to date airspace and NOTAMs, and gives super position reports ready for the radio ('4nm NE of Globville'). If you go anywhere near a critical airspace boundary it lets you know. My only little criticism is that it is difficult to change or see the scale.

Lost a star, but only because after installing this app it wants to be the app to open everything on my phone, calendar, PDF, images that is a bit of a pain but otherwise very nice app to help with infringements
