A solid tool for any student pilots along with sim pilots to practice holding pattern, intercept... The app itself already does a great job as its name, its a little bit lack of sounds though. The subscription per month or year is not something that everyone can afford, even though the free version is already provided all the essential scenarios to practice but i wondering is it possible to add one-time purchase for some certain features ? No problem with the application so far.

Your subscription model will kill your app. I've had it for years and lately has lost all its appeal. The free version used to have good features without being behind a paywall but now is ridiculous. $5 a month or $159.99 lifetime (excluding the sale offer) for this app? X-Plane 11 is at $30 and X-Plane 12 is at $36.99 on Steam. You could argue that if you don't have a computer for a sim you might choose the app, but if you are in aviation you do and will have the resources for it. Uninstalling.

Thank you for your feedback, José. Monetizing the app is essential to maintain development, improve features, and add new ones. However, I understand your frustration as an early user. Please contact us at maihoffapps@gmail.com so we can find a solution. Your support over the years is greatly appreciated, and we value your input.

While this isn't quite like flying in an aircraft, it has been extremely valuable in practicing holds, hold entries, and scanning, all while using your smartphone for free! Very useful tool. While the hold practice seems useful, for hold entries I found it to be more valuable to great my own hold scenarios, as the in app hold practice either has not enough information, or too much information (already giving you the hold entry, etc.) Depending on which page of the hold practice you look at.
