FlyQ+ EFB is a top-rated aviation app because it makes your flying easier and safer by thoughtfully integrating powerful features in a way that minimizes the number of screen taps and uses larger fonts to increase readability.
New features such as a glide ring, graphical weather briefing, ability to download two data cycles, and a navlog that expands/collapses airways/SIDs/STARs make flying safer and easier than ever before!
The Global Digital Map shows airports, airways, airspace, navaids, and waypoints from all around the world. Text rotates so it's always right-side up and the level of detail adapts to the zoom level.
Our exceptional "4D Predictive Weather" system uses a Timeline and Altitude Slider to help you analyze weather at different times - both past and future - and at different altitudes. 17 weather layers from both the Internet and ADS-B (e.g. Radar, Icing, Turbulence, PIREPs, Winds Aloft, Surface Winds, Surface Analysis, Satellite, and more), many tied to the Timeline and Altitude Slider, give you unprecedented pre-flight and in-flight safety.
Supports more than 20 ADS-B and in-panel devices: Stratus 3, Avidyne, Dynon, Stratux, and more.
The exclusive Augmented Reality (AR) feature provides situational awareness you'd previously only seen in sci-fi movies.
The Slingshot wireless system means FlyQ+ supplies maps, plates, and apt diagrams wirelessly to certified systems from BendixKing.
The Visual Logbook and Post Flight Playback / Analysis Graphs add a whole new dimension to your flying. Optionally connect with your friends to "see" and even replay their flights. CFI's can track student progress and remotely send endorsements.
Other key features include split screen, 3D synthetic vision, plates on the map, more than 4,600 airport diagrams, rich Documents support, extended runways, distance measurement, fuel prices, NOTAMS, wind-optimized flight planning, and plates for Mexico and Central America.
NEW! NaviGuard GPS anomaly detection guards against GPS spoofing and jamming

Lets get this out of the way… as a customer with a ‘Lifetime’ subscription that is no longer honored,I am disappointed but I understand development costs money and I like the app enough to rate it 4 and 1/2 stars. The app works well and is feature rich on an iPhone. I like that you can access most of the important menu picks without having to drill down several sub menus. Also, the enlarged text feature for airport info is great. I was flying from San diego to Washington State when my iPad went belly up on the first leg. I was able to seamlessly and comfortably switch to my phone and complete the trip safely. I know other EFBs are capable, but beingable to get info easily and quickly is important. Its not perfect, on the rare occasion it hangs up, or crashes. I do not think the software engine (?) is quite as developed (polished?) as Garmin Pilot or Foreflight but is still one of the better EFBs.
Bad business practices and support
gadgets313
While the app is decent I found I no longer needed it. In the my account section there is no way to indicate I no longer want to renew the subscription. I thought removing anything in the payment method would stop my subscription. It did not. I emailed the company when they notified me that my subscription was renewed for another year and told them I DID NOT want to renew and would like a refund. I have received no reply or refund. The following day I received an marketing email from the CEO that asked me to submit a review and if I was submitting a bad review to reply back to the CEO first to let him know so he ca attempt to fix the issue first. I did email the CEO in reply and received an UNDELIVERABLE EMAIL NOT FOUND reply. I emailed customer service again and forwarded my email to the CEO in hopes they will reply and refund my money. Again, no reply - other than an automated response saying thanks for my email - and no refund. I want my money back and the last thing I wanted to do was to submit a bad review. But since they do not reply to my emails I don’t know what else to do to get their attention. I guess the next step is to dispute the charge on my card. If they want to fix anything with their app it should be the MY ACCOUNT section of their website with an auto renew switch. Otherwise I classify Seattle Avionics as a deceptive subscription that won’t let you turn it off.

Breach of contract and Apple’s TOS
RP in FL
I have used FlyQ for many years and think it is a very good app. Liked it so much that I bought what I thought was a LIFETIME subscription. It seems the management at FlyQ have no integrity in honoring a contract. They have added some features and updates to the app (like they have been doing for years) and now are trying to call it a new app named FlyQ+. Along with their attempt to rebrand the product they are telling us lifetime subscribers that we will have to pay $199/yr to continue using the app. If we do not start paying our “LIFETIME “ subscription will “sunset” in a year. Another person put in their comment that this is a violation of Apple’s TOS agreement for app developers. I have contacted Apple support and talked to Johan. He was extremely helpful and did find the wording in the previous comment in section 3.1.2(A). He initiated an escalation for me and we will see what happens. I suggest everyone take the time to contact Apple support and also have your case escalated with the information in the app developer TOS agreement section 3.1.2(A). If this is not resolved in our favor, FlyQ will never get another dime from me!
Reliable easy to use and capable.

App Store for FlyQFor the past year I have used FlyQ in our Cessna 182 with the G1000 Nav III package along with the Merlin ADS-B receiver and have found it extremely easy to use and very reliable. Having flown for more than 50 years as an instrument rated pilot it is stunning how much information is presented in such a usable fashion to help get the needed big picture and then drill down to the details needed for accurate planning in challenging conditions. It is also gives me a great sense of security knowing that despite having an excellent Nav system and back up instruments that the FlyQ/Merlin system gives me a completely independent system for back up using my tablet to navigate if the G1000 goes dark would be my first choice, the back up instruments would be a fall back because the AHRS in the Merlin package is so stable. I am using another EFB system as well but prefer the FlyQ for inflight use and preflight planning.
FIXED: Map files fail to download under specific conditions.
FIXED: The Altitude Slider may be duplicated or visible even after it should have gone away in rare situations.
FIXED: The Altitude Slider incorrectly sets itself to 0 in some cases.
FIXED: The app may crash when downloading Documents if the Internet connection is very poor.
FIXED: Sectionals do not download properly via Slingshot.
CHANGED: NOAA released a new World Magnetic File for more accurate magnetic variation calculations.
