5/5Great
I am an aviation herald fan and although 13 dollars is steep I think it's a great contribution to the site and Simon's work. Everyone should download this app! It also works great and is better than the website!

4/5Great info, okay interface
Simon's info is great. I'm happy to support his reporting because most aviation "experts" are anything but. The interface could use some improvements. If you click on comments, you'll see nothing. You need to click it a second time to see any.

4/5Great App and Support for Simon
Decided to buy the app, mostly to show my support for Simon!!! His thrive for accuracy and informing the public should be applauded and supported!!! I'd like to see the app show each item including the pictures (and maybe videos), plus comments on one page; like the web site, rather than pressing a button. The flight path and maybe airport diagrams, approach plates could be optional via a button. Also, I'd recommend to have the app save email and nickname for comments (unless it already does). Keep up the great work! Cheers, Tom

5/5Great APP!
AV Herald is the best source for commercial aviation accident/incident. I hope this APP keep being developed and updated.

3/5Great info, but problematic app
Anyone else having issues with stories intermittently not allowing you to scroll past the initial page? On iPhone 13 with latest iOS.
