No evaluation software

I heard a lot about the software, but really wanted to try it before we buy it, only Cape Town area available, we currently use Foreflight, gave Andrea a call asking for a short trial period, it is not possible, oh well, we tried, so will stick to Foreflight.....

Excellent app

Excellent app, especially the new added feature to see webcam footage at various locations. Keep up the good work. Thanks Andrea & team!

Good app, could use a facelift

A decent app for the cost. Have found that the app sometimes crashes, can be very frustrating when you are on the Nth waypoint of many and have to start again. Could use a “facelift” and some tweaks but still very comprehensive.

Still the most informative tool for RSA

I have used Easy Cockpit for many years and have found it to be a useful and confidence building navigation tool for flying in any location in RSA. Andrea is a pleasure to deal with and I hope to see interface improvements on this great app in the years ahead! Well done to a proudly South African product.

Only CPT charts available?

I would like to find out if and how I can load other charts such as Durban airspace. Thank you.

Great info, horrible interface

By far the best app for South Africa as far as information regarding airfields, frequency’s etc are concerned. The interface unfortunately, is not great. It is not intuitive like some of the other well known apps. To be honest, it is in desperate need of a makeover.

Everything you need as Nav Aid

Brilliant tool as backup with huge amount of aids to make navigation and flight logging easier I find the VFR references under the flight log the most useful let alone the planning to go to various remote areas

Pilot

This is by far the best moving map system for iPad or laptops available in RSA. Extremely useful and great fun to fly with.

Very user friendly. Nothing better for the price!

EasyCockpit

Eventually an App designed for Southern Africa with moving maps on a large iPad screen. I flew today for the first time with it after having spend some time getting to know the features, and how well and easy it worked. The iPad EasyCockpit combo are perfect for each other. It is the first time, while flying the "complicated" air space VFR routs under the Jhb TMA that I have been absolutely confident that I was on the right frequency at exactly the rite time. It certainly reduces the stress of airspace navigation and reporting points, allowing me to focus on flying. Thank you Easy Plan, thank you.
