E6b Aviation Calculator App Reviews

this app helps incredibly with all my flight plans and calculations

There are a lot of conversions and helpful calculations within this app but it lacks accurate Mach to TAS calculation. Mach is highly dependent on altitude and temperature. Therefore, this part of the app needs a section to input altitude and OAT (and/or ISA deviation) before accurate converting Mach to any other speed. It would also be nice to include CAS in that conversion section. Thanks!

Experienced pilot here. Nothing beats working the whiz wheel but this has everything a pilot uses. I first got this a few years ago just to check my work and still use it now that I’ve gotten my Instrument rating. This has improved leaps and bounds from once I first downloaded it. Only one suggestion, a beginner pilot might like to see ho some calculations were made. Still...great app!

This is my first review over any app and I have to say this is extremely helpful! I just started instrument training and this is a must!

I use the app almost everyday for my job in the military as an advisor to unit staff.

5 stars altogether

It has tons of calculations for sure. It’s easy to use but it’s limitations outweigh its value to me. More specifically weight and balance. Your heading should read “Over 75 calculations, except the one you use every flight. Weight and balance.”

Spent a lot of time trying to decide between this and the sportys app as I need an e6b as a student pilot. Figured this app would have basic weight and balance calculations since the description said over 75 aviation calculations, but it does not. I am very disappointed and I will have to buy the sportys app to make up for this apps shortfall

Has the full load of flight calculations in a very easy to read format.

Use it every day along with ForeFlight

Worth every cent! Quick and well thought out! The Favorites feature makes fast work of frequent look-ups.

Having had a good choice of E6B apps in the App Store, my decision turned out to be a great one! From the content to the visual presentation on both the iPhone as well as the iPad, I have nothing but positive things to say. A professional app (not only) for professionals!

Originally I reviewed this app and found it not working. The developed set me straight which is a testament to his commitment to his product. If I inadvertently tapped MPH instead of Knots, then that was my oversight. I have never used MPH in the air; I don’t know who would. There is a lot going on in this app. The bookmark is a great weapon against this. The wind issue I had was mixup on course and heading. Again, a lot going on. I had the wind correction right but it wasn’t adding up. I was not able to use this on my cross country. It is a good app, I just found one that I don’t have to figure out how to use. In a pinch, the one I go to will be one that takes less time to use and know that I am not using the wrong settings, inadvertently or not. My thanks to the developer for solving the riddle.

I plugged in 90 miles at 110 knots and it came up with a solution of 42 minutes, 39 seconds. The proper solution should have need 49 minutes. Same for wind. When I have a quartering left tail wind, it calculates the wind correction properly. I expect a negative wind correction. When it figures the corrected heading, it adds it. I had a wind correction of -7 in a ground track of 122. My heading should have been 115. Instead it gave a heading of 129. Please fix this and I’ll change my review. It really is a fast way to do calculations but at this state it is worthless. I can only imagine that if these two simple calculations are s****** up, the rest are too.

Use it every day along with ForeFlight

Easy to use. More calculations than most.

This app covers all aviation calculations you need except Va when under gross weight. Buy it. You will not need another E6B app!

With regard to the Heading, GS and WCA calculation, I think the calculation is somewhat flawed and needs another variable. Winds Aloft are True, so the course entered must also be True or the calculation will be wrong. Headings are usually Magnetic, but this formula can only provide a True heading. In order to be accurate it needs to add Variation as an input, and clarify that Course and Wind must be entered True and Heading is Magnetic.

Far the most part it’s a very useful app!

I use this App every day that I fly. A tremendous value and tremendously useful. I'm a Captain with a legacy major airline.

Works well

I want to echo the last review. Very well worth the cost. This is an integral part of my flying prep. Note on the latest update. The runway image under the user interface is a bit distracting and makes for a busy image. Maybe just show the interface? Great app!

Has all what you need and all calculations can be done here.... Instead of using the s***** manual E6B just use this app, all fuel, time, distance and much more calculations. Adding to the above review which I made few months ago, this app still amazes me every time I use it, literally is everything you need in terms of calculations.

Love the new update! Added new functionality and usability.

I bought this app when I first started ppl training. Its incredibly useful and a great pre/in flight tool box.

As a student pilot I've found that using this app helps tremendously in the process of understanding the various calculations and the relationships between values. Certainly less of a pilot distraction than manually calculating various things en route.

Great app, thanks!

This is a useful app from flight sims to real world!!

I use this app every day and it has not let me down. Love the new interface! Invaluable tool for any pilot.

Overall this is a useful tool but I can across a problem while studying for the CFI written that it doesn't do which is heading calc to get back on track given #miles off course.

Very practical app which I have been using daily for more than 5 years. I carry two iPads in the cockpit: a mini4 and an Air2 as a backup. I made the mistake of not looking at screenshots of version 2.3.8 before updating the backup Air2. After I saw it, I didn't update the primary mini4, because I absolutely hated the monochromatic look of version 2.3.8, which actually impacted its usability. I wrote to inform the developers about the problem and hoped a new release would resolve this issue. YAAY for the new look in 2.3.9. And THANK YOU for listening!

Awesome, thank you

This app is good condition

Hate the new graphics (or lack thereof). Big step backwards. Very hard to see information. Please revert back to previous version.

This is a great quick reference tool! I use it at work - just about every flight.

The day before yesterday,I was found an error in downloading Aviation weather on my IOS 10 and then I sent a feedback to fix it.After a day later,they gave an update and it was fixed finally.Hardworking programmers, thanks a lot. Best wishes 😊

Best e6b computer around ! Tried a lot of them and this one is the best! By far....

This app has been a very useful tool on the ground during planning and in the air.

For a aviation "App" I was pleasantly surprised at how well this app worked. It took a little getting used to maneuvering around the functions but after 2+ years I find it easy to use and spot on as well.

Excellent App!!!

It's only work with CAS when I only have TAS.

As a student pilot , this app reduces our daily workload with calculation. It is a very nice app , handy ,and also include quite useful calculations. I hope to see more calculation to it. Keep up the good work, app developers. Love this app.

Great app! It will be even better if a search bar is added on the top.

This is a very well made app. It has a great look to it and it features calculations that make it quite useful for flight planning. I hope they update it in the future with even more calculation possibilities.

Designed for practical use by the pilot. I am currently flying as a student pilot, and have found that it saves me alot of time building nav logs and doing in flight fuel required/ete calculations.

Great app for aviators. Never has crashed. Consistent updates. Thumbs up to this developer!

Thank you! All that need pilot!

I have had this app for 2 year and been though many updates. It's useful especially for quick fuel, wind, conversion and altitude calculations. The menus are easy to navigate and information is laid out logically.

Thanks for the new features and updates UI. Huge improvement.

It has been a long while since last using this app. The new (to me) appearance and organization make it easier to use.

This app is really intuitive and makes the preflight process that much easier. However, the recent update added character underlines to the calculator which has done nothing for me but make the calculator harder to read, even right in front of my face. There are only a few letters and numbers that ever need an underline for recognition and the "=" symbol isn't one of them. Nor any of the other mathematical symbols which only read one direction. Maybe this was prompted by some guy who held his phone inside down while flying but if the safety of your flight depends on character underlines on your e6b calculator then you clearly should never have entered that situation be begin with. Please get rid of the underlines or give us an option to turn them off. They look silly.

This is amazing app. But, I want to add a W&B category. Is it possible? Please

If you're a Private Pilot, no need to purchase a stand alone E6B, this will be all you need. It would be nice to be able to put in performance variables for a specific aircraft, that could be used to calculate results for takeoff/landing roll outs, tail wind take offs/landings, grass/dirt/pavement take off/landings, etc. I understand these are mostly used for backcountry, and are not necessarily a priority. All in all, great app!

I use this application every day I fly. One thing that could be improved on is to add a ground speed link to the "How long will it take?" page. Otherwise your speed will just be based on your true airspeed for the "How long?" page. Otherwise, I cannot complain about this application. Very useful and practical. Great in conjunction with ForeFlight for the iPhone, since the flight plan page does not include time to and winds aloft. I would definitely buy this application if you are a commercial pilot working unscheduled 135 ops. Less than 2 minutes and you have a pretty solid ETA and ETE.

While nothing, even this great app, will ever replace my beautiful “manual” metal E6B this is by far the easiest, best laid out, most functional E6B. Other apps are a pain to use in flight but this one I can jump to what I need in seconds and get the information I want quickly!

I almost never leave reviews, but this is great!! Thanks to the dev for making an easy to use, highly useful app!!

All a pilot or pilot to be needs on their fingertips. I wonder if there is an update that includes TO and Landing Distances, Cruise Power Settings Calculations? That would be just the cream on top of a great APP!
