"body": "it’s a great app for reading aviation news but it has way too many ads (like pop ups which can be closed and just ads in the reading itself) and the app crashes after reading 2 stories that you have to force close the app and reopen it but other than that it’s good: update: recently updated with new version and it still crashes and has many bugs, USE THE WEBSITE INSTEAD",

"rating": 4,
"title": "Great app. Needs a little more professionalism",
"body": "I love the look, the breadth and depth of stories, variety of subjects (Boeing p, Airbus, industry info), and I don’t seem to have the technical glitches that some have, except an annoying ad pop-up. But the professional level of journalism needs work. It just sound so amateurish sometimes. And I find factual errors all the time, i.e., “some say the FAA will only allow pilots to have one type rating at a time”, or opinion pieces that are absurd, i.e., “Can an Airbus pilot fly a Boeing?” I hold 5 type ratings, both for Boeing and Airbus, and, though I’m not CURRENT on all these aircraft, I still possess the type ratings. Two minutes verifying this info on Google would have shown some journalistic integrity.",

"title": "Will we ever get the app back",
"body": "I have been a long time reader of simple flying for years it’s still one of the best platforms for aviation news. That being said it seems since the site was acquired in the fall of 2021 the new direction has given us an app which does not meet the standards we are used to. The old app allowed us to pay for an ad free experience and actually allowed us to save favorite articles and was designed for the reader. Then we were told we are building a new app for you and the app was broken for months. We were then provided this current app which feels like it is just a wrapper containing the site and not a experience anymore. It feels like the app we were promised was from the old leadership and new leadership had decided to just get the app back running and that’s good enough rather then provide us an app which we could actually use day in and day out. My question is will we ever see the day when the app is back to its former glory and returned to the reader the experience we are used to. Will this app ever be updated as it feels abandoned nearly 6 months later.",

"title": "Actually Good",
"body": "This app is actually good for aviation enthusiasts. It has up-to-date, reliable information on the pages. It is my first source of any news that I want to research and has facts, not fake news. This app is free, so why not download it? I only have one bug report. The “Rate this app” button does not work, just what I am doing right now. Otherwise, I love it!",

"rating": 4,
"title": "Exceptional App—No Updates",
"body": "The app is exceptional, as is the website. Aviation news is very current, quickly reported, and UI is intuitive. Unfortunately the issues that have prevented the news within the app from being updated have persisted for nearly 4 months at this point. Waiting for an update before this would be 5 stars again, since news is still very old on the app at the moment unless you go directly to the website.",
