Ratings and reviews

As an airframe and powerplant mechanic I find the articles useful for learning about trends in the aviation industry. There are many articles that explain mechanical aspects of the industry. It also informs me about the administrative side of the industry. The articles are straightforward and the stories are without biases. I recommend this app for anyone interested in aviation.

Very good articles but some are repetitive and written by different authors. Posting comments are easy but some posters are very unpleasant and post disinformation and conspiracy theories. No longer able to mute these individuals so experience now is not as enjoyable as before. In addition some comments I post, although not at all uncivil, spam nor linked, are removed for no reason. App is not as enjoyable as before. For this reason I must remove a star.

It's a good app, though I can only see stories at a glance. When I open any stories, I get a blank screen with an endless loading wheel. I contacted the Simple Flying team and they initially tried to help, asking me to uninstall and reinstall the app. However, when I notified them that it didn't work, they simply said they would report it to the developers. That was months ago. My phone is an old one; but, being a frequent user on PC, it really is disappointing to see the app doesn't work.
