I love the UI, though as others have mentioned, searches can be erratic at times. I used to rely on this as a sole reference source. But my confidence has been shaken by just too many instances of finding the references in here are outdated and superseded. For a while they flagged changes with a hot link to an official e-source before they updated their entries. That was fine by me, but I haven’t seen it happening lately. If I have to keep checking with FAA or Cornell Law sites to be sure I’m reading the latest, it kind of defeats the the utility of this app.
Pretty simple to use, but the UX needs some modernization: - Bookmark management from a single screen (drag and drop) - Automatic iCloud backup/sync - Reg collection presets (GA/FC/AMT, etc) seem to miss a few items and don’t allow multiple selections - Change identification - A Mac version would be great
Great app until it was abandoned. There are 3-4 updates a year advertised. Nothing has come out since spring 2020. Regulations are useless if out of date. I haven’t tried paying for more info, but the app promises free updates for my original purchase.
This was a great app for the FAR / AIM, but lack of properly updating the AIM has made switch to another app. I emailed the company about this issue and received a reply on March 4, 2021. The company said that normally update the AIM once or twice a year but said they were running late on the 2021 update. The FAA releases quarterly updates to the AIM and I would expect an app to update with with the latest information.
I just purchased this and looked up instrument requirements and it wants to charge me $5.99 for an update. I just paid 8.99 and the field is blank. WTH is wrong with this app. I need it for an instrument check ride. Not happy
Buy any other app that is out there...not this one
Just got this used it before. It was free then, now you have to pay for updates—a bit odd. In any event where are the 2021 updates?
I have used this app since it came out. A long time! I am a professional pilot, CFI, and also serve as a Designated Pilot Examiner. This app works great! Economical subscription service. Simple to use and just works! Highly recommend this for any Pilot!
I purchased this app 8 years ago. When I purchased the app updates were free. At some point along the way the developer decided to implement a subscription model and now it costs $7 a year to get updates.
