Ratings and Reviews
Aye, sound.
Tidy smart like!
Good try - but more work needed.
It's OK with a nice looking interface. For flight planning, it works well for the altitude/airpseed functions and the wind calculation, but why is there no leg time calculation funtion? To do this, you have to exit the app an go to the calculator and then you lose all the input data. So you have to write the ground speeds down on a piece of paper and calculate them later which defeats the purpose in my opinion. Also, the LNav page is a little confusing as it requires a 'Bearing' input - not course or track which has been calculated earlier. And inputting LAT/LONG co-ordiantes is fraught with risk. Airline pilots rarely do it due to the errors it tends to generate. If this page is going to be useful in flight, it would need to interface with the GPS function. Otherwise, just use the stopwatch or your on-board GPS.
It seems this app is a gadget trying to look like an airliner's Flight Management Computer for PPLs who want to be airline pilots. Semi-useful as a planning aid in it's current format, but needs more funtionality to perform the duties of the whizz-wheel. It would be an unessesary distraction in flight. It's expensive for what it is.
Sharp App
A very tidy app, I cannot fault the displays, they are very well thought through. For the price point I would like to have seen a little more functionality. Let's have more from this writer!
