VatMap

This app makes tracking your flight as well as friends and determine wether ATC is active in the region you are flying. I've used this app every time I've been on vatsim and makes it so easy instead of having to open another tab in the computer leaving your flight. There is one small problem which is quite annoying which I'm not sure if it's the apps fault or vatsim. Every 5 minutes when the app automatically retrieves data from the vatsim server, all data shown on the map disappears and then the next time it tries to reload it ways there was a error with the vatsim data server. This leaves the user without information for a good 2-3 minutes. This has happened since the app updated some time ago. Because of that I am giving it a 4. Other than that this app is absolutely awesome and the developer deserves a pat on the back!

This is almost an EFB for online flying :)

Been rocking with this app for 3-4 years. For me it’s the best app you could use to see whats going on and who’s connected to vatsim. Recently the metar request has been down, hasn’t been working. If the developer could get the metar request working again then this would by far be one the best apps to track what’s going on vatsim.

Very good app for checking what’s happening on the Vatsim servers! The only thing this app needs for it to be perfect would be to have a way to better visualize what towers cover what. I feel like it used to have this feature where the little circle with the controllers name/frequency was right on top of the airport that’s being controlled. Currently it shows that same circle and frequencies on the border of the ARTCC sector which is confusing when I want to fly at a certain field and be sure that I have ATC Yes, it says “KATL TWR” but I’d also like to see it over the actual airfield and not on the border of Tennessee/Georgia. TL/DR: It’s a great app, just needs a better way to visualize where towers are.

Seems to be crashing a lot lately -still, indispensable

This is a good app, but one improvement would make it even better. On startup there will be no data displayed until the refresh time is up. Either you have to manually refresh or wait at least the minimum refresh setting of 45 seconds. Why not load right away? It would also be nice to see a highlight around airports that have tower or ground online? Thanks!

Using it for awhile. Works very well

They finally fixed the CTD when trying to open but now it crashes when you select the weather tab. Also there is no toggle switch to turn off dark mode when your device is running in dark mode. Default dark mode is hard to read. On iPad running IOS 12.4, selecting friends crashes the app.

Works well

Would love to have a moving map instead of the aircraft static. Otherwise an excellent app.
