VatScope

Great app that gives a lot of extra useful info compared to other apps out there. Would be great if it updated more than just once a minute, but that is just me being really, really picky.

Does exactly what is needed. Up to date info of Vatsim flights….gives the opportunity to choose manned or unmanned airports for flights, and the current airport atis and runway info of from manned towers is excellent.

The most recent update has introduced some issues for me, I wish I’d been able to keep the previous version. Aircraft labels with speed and alt seem to have gone. Zooming-in, even a moderate amount causes the airspace boundaries and aircraft route lines to disappear. These were very useful when flying into and out of uncontrolled airports. Too many menus now just to track your own flight, I miss that button directly on the map.

although a very good app while it’s working it will not refresh, you have to completely close the app and start again sometimes it loads up and sometime it don’t. I will say again it is a good app when it’s working

I purchased this app several months ago, and thought it was really easy to use when I am on VATSIM as either controller or pilot. Recently the View Details feature to view the VATSIM certificate for someone has stopped working. The app asks me to check my network connection, which is not the problem. I deleted the app in the hope I could reinstall a fresh copy in case that was the issue, but had to purchase it again! What has stopped working? Only seem to be able to contact the developer by writing a review, but would appreciate any help.

Crashes frequently on multiple devices and had to remove from an older iPad as it was inexplicably somehow managing to consume nearly 2GB of storage space. Clearly very poorly coded. Sorry devs, but sack your QA.

Best app going if any problems developer soon fixes it I love it 10/10 for me

It’s a shame, I think it is a brilliant app for Vatsim users. It works fine on my iPhone but will immediately crash on startup on my iPad. Probably shouldn’t have purchased the £2.99 upgrade.

Downloaded this app last week and it worked great. Now every time i try to open the app it simply crashes. Cant even get into the start screen. Total waste of money and memory!

I have tried a series of other maps which show the aircraft and airports on the vatsim system. This one, currently, is by far the best in my opinion. There is no clutter and you can see aircraft clearly as well as identify which airports have atc and/or flights to/from them. Furthermore, it is very simple to obtain a current meter or taf for any airport. I would have given this app five stars but there is no flight following where the map automatically follows your flight. You currently can follow your flight but have to keep moving the map manually, as in all other maps I have tried so far.
