Nice But Needs Massive Improvements
This is nice and I have used it nearly exclusively to paper. But it stands to receive massive improvements. It needs to have bookmarked synchronization across devices, it needs to have bookmark folders that can be customized, it needs WAY better search functions that already exist with AI or Google. The search function is currently useless. Note annotation would be nice too. So all in all I like it for what it is and hate the wasted potential.
Content good, app experience moderate
You’re probably better off using an alternative such as from Aeroapps.
This app does not highlight search results within the page, which makes it difficult to find key terms in context (even ForeFlight can do that with the built-in AIM).
Bookmark and highlight functions exist are clunky to use.
There are no hyperlinks at all, meaning you cannot jump from one topic to another.
The TOC is only visible collapsed, so you cannot find a topic by perusing the TOC (as you can in the printed edition).
Indeed, there is no TOC page, only the navigation menu.
Missing Parts!!
Deleting. Moving to another source. Missing Parts such as Part 95 IFR Altitudes. Search function is terrible as mentioned in other reviews.
Good but could be great
Let’s make this more than a ebook.
Pros:
- Convenience of having it on phone or EFB.
- Bookmarks
- Highlights
Cons:
- No ability to sync to an account so your FAR/AIM looks the same on every device. Including highlights and bookmarks.
- Bookmarks are titled with only the regulation. The title isn’t listed so unless you know regulation numbers by heart you end up clicking through a few to find what you really are looking for.
- Sortable highlights and bookmarks so you can better focus your study
- Printable pages…I mean really why not have it, I’m going to go to Cornell Law and print it from another public place, as that what this is public rules and regulations.
- Perhaps a 9.99/yr subscription (yes I said 9.99 a year) and a dedicated app dev and security team to add some awesome features making this a no brainer for all aviators to subscribe to.
There are many more ways that this app could create an aviators FAR/AIM best friend. It starts with thinking outside the physical copy and crushing the digital subscriber option.
Why is Part 47 not included?
Would love to see part 47 added as many regulations pertaining to aircraft registration are under this part. Thanks!
Great app, but I wish I could annotate
Overall the app is simple to use and it has the sections organized. I love that it is cheaper to buy this app, instead of buying a physical FAR/AIM every year.
My main complaint is that I wish I could annotate/type on pages and highlight the words on pages with my apple pencil. If they add this feature it would be much easier and efficient to study. This would make the app 5 stars I believe.
A few features missing
Really handy that this app exists. The search is handy and so far for me. I haven’t had any issues though be fair I haven’t had to use it that often. And I really like that you can highlight in the app to highlight any important stuff. I wish that you could take notes in the app as well and right in the margins. The big thing that I would want to use the most, would be to have personalized titles as my bookmark names.
The app is really good, so if those two features are added, it will make the experience nearly perfect!
Great app, would like more options
Great app, I use it daily. Would really love the ability to highlight in different colors and make notations freehand. That’s my only complaint.
Missing sections of FAR
So I buy this app, and it’s missing certain sections of the FAR? Ridiculous
Missing Features and Accessibility
This app is ok, all it does is allow some highlighting. The main issue that I find is that there is no proper working search, you cannot make custom titles on your bookmarks, some of the chapter titles are not displayed fully (cut off in the list with no way of reading), no way of making notes.
I love that you only have to buy the app once, however the “Study by Certificate” does not contain all the information needed, we should have the option of manually adding sections ourselves.
