I don't think I'm going to invest in this. Had high hopes but both the phone and p.c versions don't even manage to open. How am I supposed to trust it on the air??

If there was one additional feature that would put the cream on it is the inclusion of spot heights on the map (or am I missing something?)

This app is just brilliant. I find that I can now plan a flight in a fraction of the time with complete confidence. Ive crossed checked all calculation by hand and NOTAMS with official NATS publications and all is perfect. Can't recommend jointly enough. Thanks guys for a wonderful app!

There are some nice features compared to other similar products, but the user interface is quirky in the extreme and matches no accepted Android (or IOS) paradigms making it very hard to use. Most control is through pages of identical buttons arranged in a grid with little or no logical structure. In many cases using buttons so small that the text-only labelling has to scroll. The lack of icons makes this feel like an app written in the dark ages.

Had such high hopes. NOTAMS not right, even after force download, EFB not working (shows download pending, can't dowload). Will be contacting support. I don't feel confident with using any of the data at this point.

You wanna fly from point A to B? Fine. But if you want to fly from point A to B to C to A you will literally get insane by the very bad usability in this tool.

An excellent aid for the VFR pilot although I would prefer a little more map detail, such as motorway and major waterway labelling. I always fly with a 250,000 toppo and can always refer to that, but it would be nice to have at the higher zoom levels. Where is Meppershall, by the way? Having such a wealth of information available at a touch is really great but takes practice to become fluent...but then, what doesn't?

Very similar to sd notams never stop coming in on my phone brill..one thing I would like is the airfield name on notams rather than code but that might be something I'm doing wrong ? . Love it thanks. Dave.

Getting better every release. The nrw Motam push gets me aware what is going on around the area I fly in before I plan to go flying and lets me avoid planning for an area with high military activity. For me the completest flying app WX and route planning, W&B check, filing flightplan from inside the app, checking Notam along the flight, go flyng including airfield maps (some countries add. costs) inflight airspace warnings, coupled with Flarm ADS-B other aircrafts visible, obstacle warnings and more to name

It sure looks promising, but after four tries of downloading the massive database, I gave up. Seems if you want to do anything else with your device during the nearly 2 gb download, it quits and you have to start over again. If you're going to ask me to subscribe when I can't get past step one, then I'm getting off the bus. YMMV.

May well be a nice pack, but it's just another blatant lie: free to install, then have to pay loads to activate and run, plus regular paid licence renewals and updates. Uninstalled.

I've been using PFMS since many years on Win mobile and now on Android. I flew it right down to Africa and it has always been reliable and accurate. The PFMS team listens to their users and is very responsive. With the right hardware, this Android version will really make your flights much easier.

I am a student pilot and I use this app on an HTC one X and a Motorola Xoom, where it runs faultlessly. Although in its Android format it still has some idiosyncrasies from its Apple origins, this is still by far the best aviation app out their for general aviation use. Where else can you obtain an app that you can use on a smartphone that gives you flight planning, airspace infringement warnings, active weather and radar functions, relative terrain, minimum safe altitudes etc etc. My only small complain

Sorry. Would love to love this app but can't even get it to boot on my Galaxy S3. Tried reinstalling, but to no avail. Fix and I might try again. Second review...tried to keep and "fix"app but nothing works. Blacks out, won't update charts properly and continues to crash. I'll look for another app that gives less aggravation.
