Ratings and reviews

By far the most easy to use and well laid-off "e6b-type" app I tried. Very easy to use for x-country planning! I have two suggestions: (1) Use the number keyboard for numeric fields as opposed to the alphanumeric "standard" kb, (2) Being able to enter time fields without having to enter 0s for unused fields would make it faster. Otherwise great app!

Not free... It's probably a decent app - I really didn't even try it much. I mostly wanted it for the ability to do unit conversation offline. As it turns out, that's not included, despite what the screenshots show. Unit converter and a few other things are paid add-ons. Nothing wrong with that, but disappointing given what the screenshots show. Devs, better to be up front about that kind of thing. Also, the ads popping up and getting in the way every time you switch screens really sucks...

This kind of software does by no means require permanent modifications to stay on top of the laws of physics, it's no anti-virus. The overwhelming majority of users will not need it on a daily or even weekly basis, and calculating a couple well-established formulas should not be so expensive, just because they are presented in a form that is more convenient than a general calculator for pilots. The price would be steep as a purchase -- as a recurring subscription, it is outrageous. Uninstalled.
