5/5Great function, small bugs
While completing some tasks it gives the correct answer without hitting the “=“ key. Which is handy, however, when hitting the “=“ key the app fails and kicks you out. Other than that it’s a great resource.

3/5Not awful, not great
This app is simple and but not very effective. But it is greatly lacking in simple features and updates that would make it much more usable. Simple things like being able to add a picture to a weight & balance profile. So I can easily reference the aircraft’s CG limits. Lots of other ideas have been suggested and ignored. App has not been updated in years… maybe look somewhere else

4/5Needs more watch features
Over all a great app on phone and iPad. Needs more watch features. Timer for example would be really nice. Having my favorites from my phone on my watch would be really nice as well. Even having different favorites on watch would be nice. Really hard to scroll Thru all of them and find what you want.

2/5Not the Best Option Out There
It wasn’t worth it to me. Sure, it worked, but the keyboard gets in the way and it’s not as intuitive or as capable that a digital flight computer should be. It was a little extra, but I spent the money for the one from the same folks who make more traditional products, and have for longer, and it’s a better product overall. I would skip this product if you’re choosing between a couple.

3/5Good but…
The = button on iPhone will scramble negative the number for the first tap, second tap will convert back to a close by number but not original number. I don’t know if it’s the calculation or Sporty’s ground school quiz answers are wrong. I got a different answer (off by 20 feet) when calculating density altitude. I made sure to clear all history and continue to be off of the quiz answers.
