Foreflight Mobile Efb App Reviews

Whenever a question comes up using the program and I contact team at ForeFlight, I am most pleased that I get a response and an answer within a day. Great support!

Phone support has been dropped and I think the loss of customer contact is huge

Since newest IOS update, app keeps crashing when trying to input new locations on the map. This is the last thing I need while in flight.

I just got iPhone XS Max finding the 6.5-inch screen is perfect for the synthetic vision. Please at least make it an option for large screen iPhones. It only encourages me to upgrade to $199 option when I only use iPhone.

Recently, since the new iOS update. ForeFlight crashes regularly during flight when my Sentry is connected. I have found not using the Sentry allows foreflight to work properly. Please fix this.

Been using this app for years! Best out there. The tech. support is also very fast and responsive, answered my questions very promptly and in depth. A+

Outstanding product support for an outstanding product. I had an electrical failure while IFR and with ForeFlight on my iPad I was able to make a Safe let down and approach. Without this app I would have been in the hurt locker big time. Johnny Carter

The support for this app is incredible fast and thorough. A lot of companies could learn from these guys. Love their product!

Best one ever

I am an instructor and I use several of these types of Apps. In my opinion, Foreflight is the best, easiest to use, full featured, and they provide great support. Every time I have had a question, their support team answers my questions quickly. I hope the Garmin acquisition doesn’t change any of the above...

I love this app, you can do so much with it. My only complain is that they need an Apple Watch extension again, least for METAR and stuff. I’m a student pilot so I can’t afford the other versions past 99 but keep doing great work!

I have been using ForeFlight for about 8 years! Excellent platform? At least it used to be. But as large companies get bigger they lose sight of some of the conveniences. I would like to think I helped our company go to ForeFlight for EFB,s, simple easy, but Now days it is gotten so convoluted in its evolution, it often crashes and takes longer to use. Some of this is our company’s fault for not keeping the iPads updated with the latest iOS. still I often wonder when you have a perfect platform and everything is working great why mess with it! It’s lost its quickness, now every time you press a letter you got a wait for the iPad to finish it search before you compress the next one. Most of it crashes I have seen are on the weight and balance. As a pilot I don’t have the option of updating the iPads to the latest iOS. Doesn’t do me any good to send in a crash report for the aircraft I am no longer working on the iPad stay with the aircraft

The latest version is crashing every ten minutes on my iPad. Safety issue!

Had to buy an overpriced children's toy to use this app. Would be nice if I could have used this on a more reasonably priced children's toy instead of paying the apple tax. Lack of choice hurts the consumers.

By far the best aviation EFB out there. I have the performance plus + USA Jep charts. To use the full potential of FF you need the performance plus.

After subscribing for three years, I decided to let it Foreflight go. My preferred EFB app is Garmin Pilot, which is my go-to app for planning and in flight. It offers every feature that I find useful in Foreflight but is more intuitive for me. I also continue to subscribe to FlyQ, which is the simplest EFB app to learn and use, in my opinion. Finally, I also use FltPlan Go, which isn’t as slick as the others (though now that Garmin bought it, who knows?) but is FREE and even includes features, such as geo-referenced approach plates, that you have to pay extra for in Foreflight.

I've been using Foreflight since 2007 when it was a web app on the then brand new iPhone. It is without a doubt the best and most useful app I own. When I'm working (commercial helicopter pilot) I use it every day to check wx, TFR's etc. and whenever I'm doing an xc flight I use the maps, and airport info for freqs and fbos. With each new release they improve upon an already stellar product and their support is second to none. Every time I've emailed about a question or an issue I have received a personal response within a few hours. Foreflight has changed aviation for the better. Keep up the good work!

I cannot imagine finding a better EFB than Foreflight. It is constantly being improved and is a one-stop app for pilots. I recently purchased the Sentry ADS-B IN product, designed for Foreflight. It is simple to use and intuitive. And, Foreflight’s support staff is fast and knowledgeable. Alan Jett

Response was immediate, Todd had my issues resolved in a matter of minutes. Thank you!

I had an issue with charts downloading that I wasn’t able to figure out on my own. Contacted support through the website, the responded in less than 20 minutes! Issue was resolved quickly! Fantastic app with excellent customer support! Thanks Todd!

After the update, ForeFlight is causing my iPad Pro 9.7 to lock up and restart multiple times. Screen goes bad and then iPad freezes or restarts. Reset the iPad and everything works fine until I downloaded and ran foreflight. Using on a second iPad without the update and without iOS 11.4.1 with no issues.

Dear Forflight team I would like to recommend to chooses different altitudes for each leg, to better show the ground clearance, airspace, TFR,s, and makes an easier transition specially under class B.

App is good, but would be better if the Apple Watch app for ForeFlight was back

ForeFlight is a tool for every level of pilot. The ease of use, variety of features and accuracy of information makes it the best aviation aid I’ve ever seen. Even with a well-equipped panel, the ForeFlight app adds another level of confidence to any flight.

Before the update everything worked fine with the ADSB. After the update I don’t get any data (Weather, and Traffic). The only thing it does is it shows me my GPS location.

My minimum to pay should be under $50. And I already went through the trouble of the cost of my plane and gassing my plane I shouldn’t have to pay more and more just for the app. “Create your free account” yeah whatever.

Used to be a great app until they started forcing apps down your throat.

I have had nothing but fast, courteous and excellent response to all questions that I have submitted to ForeFlight's "Pilot Support Team". They fully answer every question I have needed help with. As an active Pilot, I have found the ForeFlight App a must have for every flight.

I’m a long-time Foreflight user and have seen many updates and changes over the years but... I wanted to give the team props on the new feature where traffic is displayed on the heads-up (SV) screen. I don’t frequently use the synthetic vision display except in areas of high terrain but on a trip to Denver this week I checked out that feature thoroughly (traffic display on SV). It was quite accurate in the depiction of traffic location with respect to aircraft flying around me. It was pretty cool how I was able to reference a lake or other feature to more-easily spot planes below me. And with the on-screen targets growing larger as they get closer it gives you a great perspective of how serious the threat actually is. Good job guys! I’ve been ADS-B compliant since January 2014 and have enjoyed traffic depictions for several years now. I understand the importance of looking outside the cockpit but I’m certain that the Foreflight traffic display does enhance safety. I’ll likely use “synthetic vision” more now, particularly in areas of high traffic concentration.

Not only is ForeFLight a fantastic App but the Customer Support is Perfect!!! Quick and Very accurate!! Love this app and cannot wait to see what the future brings!! JKD

I’ve used his app since 2012. This is the best thing to be made available to the aviation community since the invention of GPS navigation. It takes so many complex things associated with flying an airplane and puts it all inside one intuitively designed app. It’s like sticking a G1000 in your iPad for a few hundred bucks. I take ForeFlight on every flight and I definitely feel I’m a better - safer pilot with this platform. PPL/MEL/Instrument

I was trying to paste a previously copied flight routing into the route box on the map page, and discovered I can’t paste the route. Am I doing it wrong?

Yes there are other choices for charts and all we need. Foreflight remains the best

Still scratching my head as to why one still cannot manually add DME arcs and unpublished holding patterns. Additionally, the option for curved turns based upon aircraft performance models should be offered. Checklists should be their own active tab along the bottom, vice imagery, as checklist are accessed far more regularly and in more time critical scenarios to be buried under the “MORE” tab.

Using now for two months. Wish I’d found ForeFlight years ago. R22 Helicopter with Stratus2. Robbie has NO gyros...SyntheticVision is incredible. Best addition to my cockpit since portable intercom. Packed with features, easy to use, intuitive. ForeFlight training videos and support documents are top notch. Short, to the point, professionally rendered. Found a small typo on a checklist and submitted a correction. Tech Support responded within minutes. Haven’t found the ‘logbook’ useful. Recently released 360° virtual view is way cool. On my next fight I was able to see ADSB target BEHIND me, then acquire visually. Totally satisfied customer.

There are lots of products out there that make all kinds of amazing promises. Some deliver. Most fall short. ForeFlight however exceeds my expectations. Anyone who has ever used it realizes it is the gold standard in flight planning but the customer service just set the bar higher. I was trying to file an instrument flight plan in unfamiliar, complicated airspace and kept getting an error message. After several attempts, I called the flight plan in on the phone unsure of why I couldn’t get the flight filed through ForeFlight. Not long after, ForeFlight Pilot Support emailed me! The email said we noticed you were having a problem and wanted to know how they could help. They are big enough to provide the best product in a crowded market and small enough to offer unsolicited help when some idiot is trying to file a flight plan with a departure procedure in the “enroute” field instead of the remarks section. If you don’t have ForeFlight the buy it. You’ll be glad you made the investment.

Currently, W&B profiles can only be shared through email and then importing via documents as a PDF. If there’s a flying club or shared airplane, why can’t these profiles more easily be synced to just send to another device and imported into the other persons W&B?

What is the point if the free trial if the application you receive is unusable? A friend recommended the app to me, so I though I’ll give it a try. To test if ForeFlight is right for you, you want to test it in flight, right? And you need charts while flying. BUT this is exactly what you have no access to - the offline charts! Thanks for the most dangerously misleading trial offer on the AppleStore! I’m glad I noticed that the CA charts didn't actually download before heading to my tomorrows 500NM flight! With you misleading offer you put peoples life into danger! Shame! Two stars because other people say it is useful for them. Unable to verify this myself so far.

Foreflight use to be one of the best apps out there. However, as they keep adding features the program has become intolerably slow and buggy. Frequent crashing and hang ups on screens at the most inopportune times. Wish there were options to remove all the superfluous features and concentrate on the original. The inability to use jepp charts is also a major problem. Foreflight...... stop the bloat, get rid of the bugs and add some decent support. Good luck trying to get an answer from support.

FOREFLIGHT is the only flight planning software! It has changed aviation forever!

This update includes an airspace “feature” described as: “Airspace will be highlighted within +/- 1,000 ft. of your altitude and within 1 nautical mile on either side of your route. Airspace outside of your flight path will be dimmed.” So basically, class B airspace looks just like any other airspace (dim and virtually invisible lines) unless you either plan a route right thru it or fly within a mile of it. Which gives me about 12 seconds flying VFR to see it pop up on Foreflight and then turn away from it. Note to Foreflight designers: stop trying to be so smart. Your job is to provide me the info I need to fly... and you just negated that with random airspace depictions. At least make crap like this configurable so I can control your errant and absurd design decisions. One star for turning a functional map into an automated useless piece of junk. Just downloaded Garmin Pilot as they’ve not lost their minds (yet). (I am commercial sel, ses, mel pilot of 30 years)

Where can I find information on how to use this feature under the $200 or year plan virtual reality screen?

Not only is ForeFlight the best aviation software out there, this company has the absolute best customer service. Out of a 5 star rating their a 10

Idk why you’d use anything else to fly. And they’re making great improvements as they move on. One additional feature I’d like to see is the 1:50k and 1:100k charts for us low level guys. Customer support is responsive as well. Keep up the good work!

ForeFlight is awesome. I would not fly without it. While I have. G1000, Sirius WX, and ADS-B weather, the simplicity of using ForeFlight for filing, accessing plates, redundancy (iPad and iPhone), and convenience, is just smart. The cost is inconsequential if you are flying and the return on the investment is well worth the investment.

Helped so much for my PPL a and even more so for instrument flights. Be careful not to use as a crutch

The search feature bogs down the iPad Pro so much that while typing a route the iPad will miss keystrokes every now and then unless one types slow. Just typing was faster then using search. There has to be a way to turn it off.

The app itself is indeed excellent, with new updates continuously bringing new valuable features. But what really makes the app shine is the outstanding support. While lack of a phone number to contact may at first seem disappointing, I can assure anyone that if you send a support question via email or their contact form, you always get a response within an amazingly short period of time. I seem to find myself requesting help every 12-18 months or so. And every time I get a quick response, and they stick with me until it’s resolved. ForeFlight support is among the best of any app I’ve experienced!

I like ForeFlight and use it all the time. I found an issue with the app and the ForeFlight team listened and made changes in a future update. I love that they keep adding new features.

Foreflight is the best of the iPad apps, but still not the full service go-to navigation device. I'll up my rating to 5* when bread crumbing is added so that a pilot can find his way out of a canyon when the weather closes in. This is a valuable safety feature and found on Garmin. Foreflight has been promising it for years but never delivers. They think logbook enhancements are more important than safety if flight items!

ForeFlight became my best friend when I started back in the air after 20+ years. Amazing. Now it makes me look like a genius in all aspects-briefing-approaches-weather-routes-filing....you name it. And on top of that, team@forflight is all over any request with the needed answers or advice. Thank you ForeFlight, I do not fly without you. Mac, CMEL.

I have one problem when I plan a flight that is 240nm how is that a short flight and I get an error saying it a short flight

With the addition of “fast search” FF just became extremely slow and not very user friendly. In rare cases it would be helpful to see available choices but there needs to be a work around too. If you want to type out an IFR clearance in the Maps tab the continuously updating search function makes it impossible to type out a route, your keypad inputs are skipped while the search is running. Even copy/paste seems impacted and rarely works from an outside app or email. When receiving a PDC clearance or a filed flight plan route via email there has to be a way to ‘import’ a route with a quick copy/paste. Unfortunately the FLP edit tab doesn’t allow a workaround for copy/paste either. There either needs to be a setting to turn off fast search or it has to go away altogether.

The app has always worked well until this last update with the active search for previous flight plans constantly gumming up the keyboard entries. I can’t tell you how many times in the last few weeks I’ve had to rewrite the entire route due to missed letters and numbers. You used to be able to just search previous routes as a separate function, but now it’s rammed down your throat and forces you to either tp le hs or t y p e l i k e t h i s to I put your route. The annoying and entirely pointless feature needs to be reverted to the old, separate search. Don’t think to yourself “this asshat must be using an iPhone 3GS to get such crappy lags!” No, I’m using an iPhone X, and this crap is ridiculous.

ForeFlight is THE BEST APP I don’t fly without ForeFlight It’s worth the money If you’re thinking about buying it, don’t have to think twice. It’s money well spent !!! Keep it up ForeFlight Team, you guys rock !!!

I have used ForeFlight for several years flying mostly a Cessna 414. I am in the process of upgrading to a Conquest II and have moved to the performance plus module. I really enjoy everything it has to offer. Great tool and some of the best customer support I have had the pleasure to work with.

My biggest pet peeve and only complaint is that the preferred routing on foreflight always has an error loading. About 1 out of 20 times I can get it to show me the recently approved routes. I don’t really want to flip out the chart supplement and figure it out when I can just do it simply on foreflight. Especially since I usually fly ifr

I have been flying for only about 15 years, instrument rated for 14 and instrument current since then; and I am comfortable to say that ForeFlight has improved the experience and safety of flying more than anything else I have seen over that time – even the G1000 avionics of my Mooney. Although I am a doctor and a teacher of medicine, I was VP for IT at my hospital for a decade and have written a good deal of software. When I give talks about the horrible things that are happening right now to medical computing, I use ForeFlight as an example of how software good should and can be. Highest recommendations without reservation.

Thank you Josh C, above and beyond customer service

ForeFlight is by far, the most useful, well built, feature-filled and intuitive mobile app ever made. When comparing the cost to the benefit of the app it wins hands down. Amazing!

I (quite expensively) tried a few others and I'll staying here with ForeFlight. Geo-ref IAPs, route planning, briefing, weather overlays, alerts, and rock solid filing. If you can swallow hard and embrace the NOS, then you will love this. If not, I simply could not recommend the S/A blackhole that develops using other slower, non-responsive, less capable EFBs *cough (FDP)*.

Just installed 9.5 update...app was removed and no longer on my Apple Watch? Support responded they are working on an updated Apple Watch app Got to say....I really appreciate how quickly ForeFlight has responded to the Apple watch app replacement.

FF is easily the best app for aviation. I have all others, and they are not bad, some even good (eg GP), but I will not leave home without FF. Connecting to various Garmin devices now makes it a great in flight manager as well. I am glad that emphasis is placed on pre-flight management in this update. While flying multiple aircraft in various conditions, different performances, loads, settings, it is all adjusted on the fly through a pilot centered, intuitive interface. This makes keeping track of all data pertinent to a flight, as well as briefing, filing and tracking the flight as easy as can be. As an app goes, it is not cheap like a 2.99 game, but as an essential, reliable tool it is the cheapest utility around in all of aviation. In a world where we measure things in AMU’s, this app and it’s subscription fees are nothing to cry about, and in my opinion the subscription fee is the least I can contribute to keep this ForeFlight team eager to improve and grow. My only concern is not related to FF, but more related to the iPad and its very short life cycle before obsolescence. I am already concerned about what will happen when iPads cease to exist. For now, i am including a new iPad every other year to the price of doing business.

I want to subscribe. But I can’t Because of Some error message

Going on almost 3 years since Apple implemented split screen, yet it's still not supported by ForeFlight.

User friendly and the customer support is very willing to help and responds to your questions in a very timely fashion.

This is hands down the best EFB for pilots in the U.S. It has a simple interface, excellent feature set, and provides almost all of the information you could possibly want directly on the map. It’s updated quickly for new iOS releases, has native iPhone X support, and has a quick pace of feature enhancements throughout the year that makes you feel like you’re getting something for your money. If I had one complaint, it would be that they’re trying to charge more for aircraft climb and descent profiles. Other EFBs have this functionality built-in. Overall, easily a 5-star app.

Started out using Garmin Pilot because it came free with my private pilot course thru Cessna. Garmin Pilot is Greta but ForeFlight is outstanding. Amazing app! I love the fact that I can plan a flight in the app including a recorded briefing so I no longer have to use a 3rd party source like DUATS or FLTPLAN.com. One feature that is missing is the ability to manually change the visibility of map icons based on the map range. Garmin Pilot has this setting. ForeFlight does it automatically but I can’t customize the settings. So for example when my map range is at 20 miles, if I only want to see large airports and class B airspace but not smaller airports and other airspace, I can’t customize this setting in ForeFlight. And if my map range is at 2 miles, I want to see all airports and airspaces, I can’t customize this setting. Garmin Pilot has a lot more customer settings for map layer visibility based on the selected map range. Other that this issue, ForeFlight is superior to Garmin Pilot in every other way.

Great product and customer support. Don’t waste your time thinking about it and comparing it to other products, just get and you will find how easy it is to use and how helpful it is.

Had several questions about upgrading - ok, more than several - concerning the various subscription levels and their features. Also had a problem surrounding an upcoming hiatus from flying that I must endure and the resulting process of having to re-subscribe after that period. The Pilot Support Team’s responses to my inquiries were quick, complete, and provided with great patience with my impatience. All of those concerns are now off my radar. Thanks to Robin and her team.

I had a small issue that required me to contact customer support. ForeFlight uses email as their preferred contact link. I must say I was extremely impressed with the speed at which they corrected my issue. The whole process from the first email to completion was less than 5 minutes. Great job!

Download this update, and it crashes if I zoomed in and out on my route...

What happened to the compatibility with apple watch? I used to utilize features on apple watch all the time and after the last update, now they're gone. Will that be returning?

Glad to see the update to the iPhone app to more closely match the iPad version. I’ve always wished for no differences at all. Sadly we lost the Watch app in the process. We also lost the ability to display the flight plan progress on the iPhone at the top of the map, which we could do before the update, and we can still do on the iPad. Weirdly, that space is occupied with the estimated trip totals, even when you’re well into the flight. Also, there’s still no display of attitude info available in the iPhone app. I can’t think of any good reason for this continued omission. And, there’s still no way to get ride of the nexrad progress bar without getting rid of all nexrad display. Why display a big obtrusive progress bar while showing a static nexrad image?

This app does NOT work with the New Apple Watch...how can this be?

Considering that foreflight has taken the aviation app world by storm, they continue to miss the mark with every release. Different altitudes for different flight segments? Apple Watch support? Automatic timers of key events and periods? Reminder to close flight plan? Mogas? Again, discontinue Apple Watch support? I used to whole heartily recommend and profess the virtues of foreflight, but more. More and more I have found myself unable to defend all the obvious things it cannot do.

I am at a loss, it appears Watch App is gone!! They bribg cellular to the watch, and FF decides its time to pull the watch app? Makes no sense...likely new roadmap for FF putting more into other areas ...Seriously questioning whether a renewal is on my roadmap for FF! (ok bit much, but still very dissappointed!!)

Foreflight keeps adding features without making sure the app runs correctly on older devices. As a result, it no longer runs correctly on my iPad 2. If you are going to hitch your wagon to this horse, be prepared to buy a new iPad every few years.

No company has a tech support like ForeFlight! Great program. Great people! Thanks so much. N62DL.

I have used Foreflight since I was a student pilot, they have made phenomenal upgrades over the years...I am now working on my IFR rating, and the layers in foreflight are awesome. I try to use foreflight daily just for weather too...great information! Awesome job Foreflight team!

Changed the way I fly since it was first released. What happened to the WatchOS app though? It doesn’t show up on my App Store...

I cannot keep bookmarks now since yesterday’s update, just in time for my oral!!!

A must have for any pilot!

Use it all the time, it is the BEST!!

FF is now 4 iOS upgrades behind and I’m losing faith that they will ever catch up. I haven’t received an “all clear” since October 31. I use my iPad and iPhone for other apps that depend or improve with these latest iOS changes. I consider complaints such as not being able to read VOR frequencies on the aero map trivial compared to not being able to upgrade my iOS.

ForeFlight is an incredible tool. I fly 400 - 500 hours a year. Currently fly a PA46-500-TP. ForeFlight helps to make me incredibly efficient and safe. I know the developers care deeply about their product and do everything they do to keep it running across multiple platforms. I hope they make a bundle when they eventually monetize.

Suggestion: For Jepp-only users, a Setting to not display (or offer for download) Gov't terminal charts (Gov't approach plates) would be useful.

Why does the application no longer offer Apple Watch comparability?

What is up with this version update? Had to call 1-800-wxbrief to file burning Jet A positive because it would not let me file. So frustrated that they would put this version out. Could not find a number to call for support. Appreciate the app as it has become a critical part of my life but furious with version. Whiskey Tango.

The update is fantastic and brings a whole new meaning to iPhone EFB’s. Everything is where it is on the iPad application. ForeFlight takes serious pride in their reviews. I had an issue and the CEO emailed me the next day. Yeah it’s a little more expensive than other EFB’s, but you get what you pay for.

For flight is now universal across all platforms way easier to use. I particularly like how much easier it is to file my flight plans flights select file activate done!! You guys nailed it. Still like to see a timer for IFR flying.

Today was my first serious day back in the IFR system in 11 years. What an amazing experience. I have used ForeFlight to fly VFR in 42 states in the last 9 years and never talked to flight service once and had better information to make decisions, navigate weather, avoid TFR’s and fly safelr than ever. After today, I can see how ForeFlight has forever changed navigating the IFR system. What the ForeFlight team has and continues to do for pilots is simply amazing!

ForeFlight is a great tool for any pilot who needs/wants assistance with navigation or flight planning. As a flight student at Riddle, it is a very valuable resource. One of my favorite features was the document feature, where you can download .pdf’s, powerpoints, pictures, and other documents and organize them into folders. This was very useful for studying for checkrides, but with a recent update ForeFlight deleted every single one of my bookmarks for every textbook, FAR, or any other document. This is a huge detriment to me, due to the fact I am taking a check ride next week, and would like the bookmarked pages I had for backup. Now I have to go back and re-bookmark everything which is very frustrating. Please fix, if this happens in the future then I will find a different app to satisfy flight planning needs

The new update won’t let me click on airport icons and view the menu with frequencies METERS and other information within VFR charts. Only way to view that information is to go to the airports tab at the bottom. I can still click on TFRs and airways within the VFR chart. This issue is on both iPad and iPhone devices. Love this app, but update broke or took away a great feature. Update: The update seemed to turn off my custom setting to show airports on the VFR map. Was able to change setting on both devices.

The new update for the iPhone is much needed and makes navigation very intuitive. Great work!

This app has completely changed the landscape of aviation allowing not only loads of seamless automation to make hours of calculations done in microseconds but also for safety, accessibility and efficiency in the cockpit. The app turns any airplane into a super computer with worldwide charts and plates for VFR or IFR operations that are all georeferenced with your location. The best bang for buck item to add to your flight bag by far. Keep up the great work guys.

Just installed 9.5 update...app was removed and no longer on my Apple Watch?

Just installed 9.5 update...app was removed and no longer on my Apple Watch? Support responded they are working on an updated Apple Watch app

Love the new update!!

I’ve been using ForeFlight for some time and have found it to be the best thing to happen to flying in all my 46 years in aviation. The regular updates continually make it even better as did the addition of Stratus. And, the support could not be more responsive. Thank you, ForeFlight!

I have been using FF since they started and have been satisfied through the years. Just within the last year or so, prices have been hiked up for practically an application that does the same exact thing it did before an update. ForeFlight is one of the highest charging EFB’s on the market for the features it provides. It’s funny, my old $150 subscription went into R&D for features that they are ending up charging you for again. Long story short, they have a great developers, but to the senior management team.... YOU’RE FIRED! With an all Garmin panel, the easy alternative is to move on to other alternatives....cough cough Garmin Pilot for $50 less that does the same exact thing if not better. If ForeFlight is really looking at what is happening, there are tons of posts in miscellaneous blogs and pages with people that are doing the exact same change. It’s sad, the designed by pilots for pilots theme is still there, but now it’s all about money.

Please fix this asap

I had problems loading foreflight with my MAC, reason why I sent a mail to the customer support of foreflight. I received an immediate reply (not later than 5 minutes after sending my issue) with the first trouble shooting steps. It took me 2 further mails and not more than 2 minutes and the problem was solved. Great and fast support, easy to understand and to follow trouble shooting steps! Highly appreciated, thank you EPP

Barry knew I was local and took the time to sit with me and explain the ins and outs of logbook. who would not have an app like this when customer support comes to you. I highly recommend foreflight.

I recently renewed my subscription after a few year hiatus from flying, during which I acquired a couple of new devices. I had a few quirks in getting the user data to synchronize between devices and the ForeFlight support team was incredibly responsive and helpful. Definitely the best software/app support experience I have had in many years.

Please fix.

I’m drinking beer to celebrate this day!

The subscription already costs enough so allow stratux and stop trying to force stratus down our throats.

Going on almost 3 years since Apple implemented split screen, yet it's still not supported by ForeFlight. Also does not support iPhone X. If you paid $1,200 for this phone you’ll be disappointed to find out the ForeFlight is iPhone 7 sized with big black margins along the top and bottom.

This use to be one of the best programs available. Not anymore! Now with the last update is complicated, inefficient, difficult and problematic to even use when filling a IFR flight plan. Now it’s faster to call flight service than to file a IFR flight plan. Very disappointing and wish I could get a refund.

A pilots blessing = Forflight. I have Garmin pilot as my backup. But Forflight is leaps n bounds farther. I’m great full for the designers n founders of this amazing app. Hope they continue down this road.

Josh C was great at helping me fix a filing issue. The more I use ForeFlight the more impressed I am with this product.

Please make your next update include background downloads.

ForeFlight is generally a fantastic app. Significantly more polished and full-featured than its competition. However, there is one glaring issue: ForeFlight is clearly favoring its preferred ADS-B solutions over more competitively priced options, to the detriment of its users. If I am paying FF a significant amount of $$ to enable AHRS, then I should be free to select my hardware of choice. FF works very well with its preferred Stratus and Scout mobile ADS-B solutions, but does not provide de support for the significantly less expensive (but no less capable) open-source solution: the Stratux. When testing the Stratux with competing software and though its web-based interface, it is clear that the hardware is reliable and accurate and it is only FF’s refusal to open its APIs that causes poor an unreliable performance with this solution. I will not be renewing my Synthetic Vision subscription and am seriously considering dropping FF altogether.

ForeFlight is a nightmare to use compared to FlyQ EFB. Every simple operation required 3 non-intuitive clicks. The only reason I put up with it is because the stratus ads-b unit refuses to support FlyQ.

Excellent app. Far better than Garmin Pilot that I used to use. Customer support is awesome.

Update for iPhone X

This is what iPad are made, to run FF. This is all you need to fly. It’s a pleasure to use this EFB

I’ve been using ForeFlight for several years now and the app has always been at the forefront of innovation and usefulness. If it doesn’t quite have everything you could possibly want, just wait a bit, it will probably be in the next update. As for their customer service, it cannot get any better. Problems are few are far between, but when they arise their customer service team is on top of it. Case in point, we had a pop up trip to Mexico and their Mexico/Latin America rep Albert has not only helped me with getting the proper subscriptions, he as also helped us other solving some pilot certification issues with the Mexican authorities. Great App, Great People, you cant ask for more than that.

Need to support the larger screen size of iPhone X. It doesn’t fill up the entire screen! Hopefully you update it soon!

Recent "update" prevents the ability to copy/ paste flight plans from JeppFD-Pro. Every leg, flight plan now has to entered twice first to Jepp then ForFlight.

foreflight. better than good personal help and counsel when needed. the product? superior, then it gets better. s. stuart. klnk. 298fm

It’s a beautiful Sunday morning and I’m trying to create a weight and balance profile in ForeFlight for a T206 with tip tanks with an FAA DPE looking over my shoulder. (And failing miserably...) After loading all the data I still couldn’t get the CG profile to load properly. All the math was working but the CG envelope was not. I sent the customer service folks at ForeFlight an email not expecting a response until Monday if at all. Well the Customer Service Team responded back immediately with the answer and a sample profile that made it too easy for a dinosaur like me. So...buy ForeFlight because it’s the best product on the market and then renew your subscription because their customer service will be there for you.

When you have questions use email but when you don’t get an answer that solves your problem keep on it to escalate to another person. ForeFlight will escalate and find someone to help you. I have done that twice with success.

Great app. Not updated for the new iPhone X yet. And an idea is to make a perfectly dark color mode to take advantages of the oled and save battery. Appreciate what you guys are doing. Thanks.

Great app, but doesn’t support AHRS from my Stratux ADS-B. There are other great EFBs out there that are more compatible with different ADS-B units like Stratux, and have almost all the features of ForeFlight (including AHRS display), and a bit cheaper. If ForeFlight starts supporting AHRS from my Stratux box, I would renew my subscription with them (I’d be willing to pay the extra $$ for such a great app). One of the nice features ForeFlight has is the integration with Jeppesen charts. PLEASE add AHRS support for Stratux! :)

Great app. iPhone X support would be 5 stars.

The Team at ForeFlight continues to impress with new features and integration. We particularly appreciate the multiple ways that information can be accessed with one touch selection to view related information, such as Metar and TAF data in a pop-up window right from the maps view.

Very buggy on iOS 12 on an iPad Pro 10.5. Freezes and crashes frequently. Please fix!

Excellent. Use it all the time for planning and flying.

The app is amazing and makes the cockpit duties safer and much more efficient. Pair it with a stratus/stratux and there isn’t any competition. Had to cancel due to not flying, and they responded within 10 minutes aiding in the problem I was facing. This is an amazing team. Thanks guys!

The best app for aviation period. The only reason I can’t give it 5 stars is its not supported with Apple Watch. It’s all I use on my iPad and iPhone but they are behind the times with the watch world.

Two flights in and this error happened about 20 times per flight. It disconnects not just ADS-B as per the message but GPS as well, I could be in the middle of a landing approach and it does this and lose situational awareness as I lose my position on the map. This is supposed to help with situational awareness, very distracting and makes ForeFlight worthless. I even got ForeFlight just for Synthetic Vision and paid extra for it. Get your act together ForeFlight. I am on latest 9.4.3, iOS 11.0.3 on iPad 4 Mini.

Amazing customer service from Barry!

Been flying for 46 years and this app ranks right up there w/ VOR system and ILS approaches. Worked w/ rep Todd to transfer info, efficient,knowledgeable and provided quick link to get it done, great folks to work with, thanks

Check the search bar on the iPhone. It’s not looking properly since iOS 11

Just when I think that ForeFlight can’t improve, the team finds a way to prove me wrong. They are responsive and gracious. I am so impressed with their attitude and willingness to listen to all reports, not just the positive thoughts. Great job, Team ForeFlight.

The search feature has been great, but after I select the search result and select "Direct" or "add to route" then the search term should be removed from the search bar. This will improve my JOY. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

This app has revolutionized flying. The amount of features and information is incredible.

Over the years I’ve used WingXPro, FlyQ EFB and ForeFlight but always keep coming back to FF. Now have the Pro version. Great versatile and easy to use flight planning and navigation app. Also customer support is outstanding, with timely and detailed email responses to questions. Please keep it up as it’s your support that really keeps me hooked.

Best tool in the plane. Helps plan a safe trip and fly it with ease. ADS-B weather from my garmin panel is amazing and so much easier to digest and take action based on the information at hand. The ForeFlight Team is always very helpful and they are always making the app better daily.

You people are awesome...not only is ForeFlight an excelent navigational software, but I have yet to find a customer support group on ANY software as responsive in such a short time as you folks. I sent a question with a downloads issue at 10:40 pm and had the response at 7:00 am next day... I don't know why anyone would want to use any other software. Thanks, Frank

For years I have used and loved FltPlan. For reasons I can't remeber I decided to try ForeFlight, and really liked the idea of integration of Jepps charts. It did take some time to learn how to use it efficiently while weaning myself from FltPlan (still a GREAT product at a price that can't be beat). I recently splurged...and upgraded to the performance package. The web Trip Advisor and Fuel Stop planner takes a great deal of the work out of the planning, and puts most of the decision making data at my fingertips in an easily used format. Yes, it's intuitive and really works well; it's as good or better than ForeFlight's utube videos say. No, I don't work for ForeFlight. I used it recently for a BFI-SNA-BFI trip; fuel stops each way, and the predicted data and actual fuel used were extremely close. ForeFlight's altitude planning section on the return legs led to some very interesting choices in the face of 100+ kt jet stream: F380 on the leg to LMT, and 16,000 LMT-BFI. I had a few technical issues with TEC routes not generating a Briefing in FLIGHTS tab and another issue setting up a C550 Bravo aircraft profile. In each case, my request for support was answered within 24 hours and resolved my problem in a few keystrokes. In first case, they responded honestly that it was a known issue and they were working to fix it. That was a week ago...today the TEC route chosen generated the expected briefing. The team working to support this app is great!! ForeFlight with performance and Jepps purchase price was not insignificant for me, but it really takes the workload out of some complex planning. Great time saver, and worth it to me. If you've been wondering, I hope this helps. Now, to look into Sentry?

There are a few things that are free in other apps that would be nice and not be too hard to implement in a limited version for free, such as airport data and the speed and altitude tapes (I mean the tapes only use internal device sensors) and maybe some other stuff. Then a person is more inclined to at least get the 3 month subscription when they want, vs just deleting the app and using multiple different free apps in its place.

Is there anyway to change the warning voice back to the Siri version the new one is very robotic and hard to hear in noisey conditions the old one was awesome.

As a GA flight planning tool FF rates 5 stars. It’s very good, but there is definitely room for improvement and further development, which is clearly in progress. What’s really impressive is the customer support. It’s by far the best support of any app I use.

Please make your next update include background downloads.

I have to say that I am very pleased with the app so far. I just used it on a trip from TNCM to KFXE and it definitely delivered! Still learning all the features as I go. A lot of people recommended me Foreflight for verious reasons but it took a chat with my friend Sam Wilson who happened to work for the company to convince me! I am looking froward to using the app on all my flights. Great buy!

Last update buggy. Slowed down my new mini 4. Can not open taxiway drawing from the airports tab. Now have to go to plates to open it. iPhone and iPad versions seem ok but slower

Love the app but why the removal of the Apple Watch app? Would be happy to change to a 5 star if someone could respond! Thx!

Jeb was great and walked me thru adding my second IPad to ForeFlight Pro. Great app and would recommend it to VFR and IFR Pilots out there that can always use the extra info. Thanks Marc

We used ForeFlight for years but grew tired of the never ending price increases. If you are looking for a comparable geo-referenced app then seriously consider FltPlan Go. FltPlan Go is offered FREE of charge by FltPlan.com (Flight Plan, LLC) and comparable to ForeFlight except you get multiple choices for ADS-B versus ForeFlight shoves the over-priced Stratus down your throat. In addition, Flight Plan has been around considerably longer than ForeFlight so Flight Plan has more experience and better support. We have no affiliation to Flight Plan, LLC and just helping you make a more informed decision.

If you have multiple weather sources connected, like LTE, a GDL 39 etc... Weather will often not display. If one source does not have data, then it will block data from all other sources. The only way to get weather is to turn off the equipment, or connections one at a time in trial and error fashion. Got an Apple Watch to use with Foreflight, then found they deleted the advertised function in an update. Wish I could use Foreflight, however the lack of weather forces me to use other products that do not have this bug. Have no problem with other weather apps when multiple weather sources are connected. I did report this bug both in person at Oshkosh 5 months ago, and via email.

Thanks for quickly updating us to know if we should update to the new iOS firmware or not. It means a lot because I use this app as my primary source of navigation. My secondary source is my sectional chart in my bag now collecting dust.

I will not be renewing my subscription thanks to ForeFlight’s decision to not support AHRS from Stratux. They like to blame it on Stratux, but it’s clear from their language that they are trying to force people to use THEIR Stratus2. Greedy behavior ruins yet another promising company.

I don’t know how we got along before trying to fly safely without Apps like ForeFlight. And it keeps getting better. In fact the improvements are hard to keep up with. Truly an essential part of my EFB for preflight planning and while flying. Also ForeFlights support folks are knowledgeable and most helpful. Please keep up the good work. Jeff Johnson
