Textron Aviation 1View

This app needs work. The search function is unusable. It’s essentially a downloaded version of 1 views online but with poor search capabilities. The table of contents needs to match that of the online version. In offline mode it never loads information. Also, there isn’t a way to remove tabs after opening them. This app is a let down. There’s more but it’s not worth even mentioning.

It’s really only useful as a novelty. Navigation to do real work is impractical though. The app should mimic the PC version more instead of taking a new painstaking approach. I have a few questions for the developers. Why is it not possible to setup automatic library downloads? Why are Beechcraft drawings not updated to work with this other than basic pdf viewer? Why can’t I search for applicability based on tail number? Thank you.

I found out about this app this evening & downloaded it to check it out to see if the 1View app is as bad as the computer version. It stinks just as bad. I went into chapter 25 for the cabin seat installations & copied & pasted into a sentence into the search function to see if it would pull up what I had copied. Itcompressedeverythinginto1word. I had to separate the words. Then it couldn’t locate what I copied out of the manual. I am deleting this app in a week just to make sure that my 1 star rating (If I could put half a star on here, I would...) will get the company’s attention. Also, if I could persuade Textron, reconsider the cesview browser, I would, but it’s not like they listen to those on the floor. The company is going to do what it wants to do. At least we had a day in the sun with the Cesview Browser before they got rid of it.

I use this app in the field when I am maintaining our C208B Caravans. The ability to access the AMM from anywhere is great. One very big flaw this app has is that it will not display ANY figures at least for the Cessna caravan AMM. This is a huge flaw when the AMM calls for a reference to a figure. This has left me stranded and frustrated when dealing with a difficult maintenance task.

Is it possible to delete aircraft you are not flying? Mine shows the entire CE fleet. I only need the 750 plus. Other than that the app is a nice improvement. Good Job.
