iFlightPlanner 4+

Cheap way to fly & log

I like the app, it has a great logbook as well which I use consistently. Includes a place to add route information so that you can see basically you did multiple legs and landed at different airports without having to start a new flight for short hops over to an airport that’s 10 miles away etc.
Cannot say the same thing about Log10 which is useless at that. (I get it that they want to have every flight to a different airport logged at a XC for Pt. 135 and/or 121 mins., but it’s still a pain.)

I see 172Capt said 10 years ago that it crashes a lot. Don’t find that true, but my iPad that is really old crashes a lot.

I also like the timer that can come up on the same page as the plate.

AND much cheaper than Foreflight!

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your review and kind words about our support! Providing first class support has been a core principle since day one. We're always happy to help.

On our Downloads, you can download the entire US at once without having to select every state. To do so, go to the Downloads tab, tap Settings at the top right, then select "United States" under "Download Region Selections." We see now the "United States" option could look like a header for the list of states, rather than an option itself!

In addition, we are well into development for our iPhone version, so keep your eyes out for that in the near future!

Easy to use flight planning app

The flight planning is easy to use. Developer quickly responded to an in app navigation issue on my older iPad 3. The updated version is now current. I look forward to further refinements of the app.

The forte of this app is that I can plan a flight on my PC using the desktop version of the program using the much larger screen and a keyboard. The saved flight plan is then available on my iPad where I can transfer the flight plan to Garmin Pilot for use in my airplane. This app is usable in the airplane, particularly for VFR flight. It needs further refinements to match the capabilities of Garmin Pilot and Foreflight for IFR flight use.

Where I will definitely use this app is on my older iPad3 which is too old for the other apps. iFlightPlanner on my iPad3 easily pairs with X-Plane 11 offering moving map display and approach charts for IFR practice flights on the simulator. For the modest cost of an annual basic iFlightPlanner subscription I’ve got a great use for my older iPad on the sim.

Developer Response ,

I believe we communicated via e-mail about this issue. We have investigated and identified an issue with the top right navigation button when viewing a flight that allows you to switch between flight views (which can also be done by swiping left or right on the views).

This issue affected iOS 9 & 10, but not iOS 11, 12 or, 13. We try to support as many versions of iOS as possible to prevent you from having to upgrade your older iPad if it is still working fine, but there are sometimes subtle differences between versions that produce an odd bug like this one.

The updated version of iFlightPlanner is in the App Store with this issue corrected. We hope we can earn your additional stars!

Excellent Value

I used the free version of IFlight Planner when I fly my Kitfox 3 from Seattle to Houston to Kitty Hawk and back to Seattle before the days of ADS-B. It was very adequate. Now in order to support ADS-B in, I subscribe. It is still a bargain. Customer support is superior to ANY product line inside or outside aviation. I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
