1. 2/5No longer performs

   Used it for years. Was a great little app and you could easily customize how you wanted to see the map. Enjoyed it. Now it seems its purpose is to force you to turn on location and other settings that were not previously required. I just want a simple app to show me what’s occurring in an area that I choose to look at. If I want to go east I’ll look there. But this is now slower, less responsive, and constantly pops up a message trying to take me to settings…. You had a great thing going. You just kept enhancing it until it’s a hassle. Edit 4/1. Received a note from the developer that it was better with release 9.0. Downloaded it again an this must have been a April fools joke. Intermittent messages that it can’t reach the server. The map is not working as it used to where you can look ahead and see events and their locations. The list view has events. Just not on map.

2. 5/5Great App

   Not sure about the negative reviews, this has been a great app for me to see the events in my area. Love the map to see airport info and any active events at airports I may be flying too. The Social Flight Live shows are great. I don’t always get to see them live and I really appreciate being able to get to the archive of previous recorded shows. I have learned a lot from the various guest and topics. I’m a big fan of Treat Williams the actor and really enjoyed his stories and down to earth great sense of humor. Jeff always does a great job in interviewing the various guests.

3. 3/5Slow “please wait”

   This app introduces a way to be involved or know about what aviation related events are happening near you. The WINGS credit corses is another way for pilots to complete some of their continual learning and be involved with the FAA WINGS program. I like these aspects of the app. The app is very slow to get to start page when opened. The app is slow to load any of the other category pages within the app. Being hit with a “please wait” window when trying to navigate the app is a little frustrating reduces my involvement with the app. Some review responses indicate SocialFlight has had some server problems. If they can get that ironed out and get the response time within the app down and continue with the app development to keep users involved and keep the ads down I think it will be a viable option to keep people involved with the aviation community.

4. 2/5Great concept - poor performance

   I want to LOVE this app. The problem is that, for me, the “please wait” issue is the same for me as it is countless others. WHEN I can actually download the advertised events, I LOVE it. But that rarely happens. Yesterday, the “please wait” was going on for nearly 30 minutes before I force-closed the app. I’ve tried to use the app on multiple devices: same result. If they don’t fix this, I’ll be deleting it because I can’t use it. The only reason for the 2-star rating is that I really WANT to love this…otherwise, I would’ve just given the 1-star.

5. 5/5Better than ever

   Looks like they made some updates - it is faster than before and a few upgrades to visuals. The site is flying now! I love searching through the events, promotions (this site actually has ones I want to see!), deals and featured planes too. I had not done the challenges before but look forward to trying that next!
