Ratings and reviews

This is the ONLY app providing air distance by keyboard entry & isn't limited to ICAO airports! It does an excellent job of providing air distances between cities/towns & finds specific endpoints such as airports and landmarks. The distances provided are accurate in miles or kilometers. Sadly, if one switches to another app AD gets hung up on its title screen upon return. The app must be reopened to revisit results or a make new measurement. The bug has been known & acknowledged for >year.

Bug: If you run Air Distance, then switch away from it (eg. press the Home button) and then task switch back to Air Distance or try to open the app again by pressing it's icon, it freezes at the logo screen - 100% of the time. Feature Request: An option to access contacts might be nice, eg. From: "My location" To: "Joe Blow" would offer Joe Blow's address from my contacts as an option (if it exists) and tell me the distance if I selected his address.

This app is promising and the reason for low rating is that it does not have a complete airport database (3-letter airport codes). For example it does not know what STN is (Stansted Airport, UK) or what ILO is (Iloilo Airport, Philippines). So for now I have to uninstall and use a website like Wolfram Alpha that gives air distance between any airports in the world. I will come back to this app after a year to see how it's doing.
