Simple Flying - Aviation News Reviews

it’s a great app for reading aviation news but it has way too many ads (like pop ups which can be closed and just ads in the reading itself) and SimpleFlying crashes after reading 2 stories that you have to force close SimpleFlying and reopen it but other than that it’s good:

update: recently updated with new version and it still crashes and has many bugs, USE THE WEBSITE INSTEAD

I love the look, the breadth and depth of stories, variety of subjects (Boeing p, Airbus, industry info), and I don’t seem to have the technical glitches that some have, except an annoying ad pop-up.
But the professional level of journalism needs work. It just sound so amateurish sometimes. And I find factual errors all the time, i.e., “some say the FAA will only allow pilots to have one type rating at a time”, or opinion pieces that are absurd, i.e., “Can an Airbus pilot fly a Boeing?”
I hold 5 type ratings, both for Boeing and Airbus, and, though I’m not CURRENT on all these aircraft, I still possess the type ratings. Two minutes verifying this info on Google would have shown some journalistic integrity.

I have been a long time reader of simple flying for years it’s still one of the best platforms for aviation news. That being said it seems since the site was acquired in the fall of 2021 the new direction has given us an app which does not meet the standards we are used to. The old app allowed us to pay for an ad free experience and actually allowed us to save favorite articles and was designed for the reader. Then we were told we are building a new app for you and SimpleFlying was broken for months. We were then provided this current app which feels like it is just a wrapper containing the site and not a experience anymore.

It feels like SimpleFlying we were promised was from the old leadership and new leadership had decided to just get SimpleFlying back running and that’s good enough rather then provide us an app which we could actually use day in and day out.

My question is will we ever see the day when SimpleFlying is back to its former glory and returned to the reader the experience we are used to.

Will SimpleFlying ever be updated as it feels abandoned nearly 6 months later.

SimpleFlying is actually good for aviation enthusiasts. It has up-to-date, reliable information on the pages. It is my first source of any news that I want to research and has facts, not fake news. SimpleFlying is free, so why not download it? I only have one bug report. The “Rate SimpleFlying” button does not work, just what I am doing right now. Otherwise, I love it!

SimpleFlying is exceptional, as is the website. Aviation news is very current, quickly reported, and UI is intuitive. Unfortunately the issues that have prevented the news within SimpleFlying from being updated have persisted for nearly 4 months at this point. Waiting for an update before this would be 5 stars again, since news is still very old on SimpleFlying at the moment unless you go directly to the website.

SimpleFlying is always up to date,i have seen it post up to 10 stories in one day! There are things I would have needed to dig the Internet for, but is one click away on SimpleFlying. The ads on SimpleFlying are not video ads and don’t pop up, they aren’t really an issue. I love SimpleFlying. If you are reading this, I would download SimpleFlying!(it’s that good)

I love SimpleFlying, but recently I have had a problem. I will reload the page, and it will briefly show the other articles that are recent, then go back to yesterdays and the day before’s articles. If there is someone that can help me, please tell me! Thank you!

Simple Flying first off is a great app to use to get aviation related news. They published multiple articles daily. One problem that I find annoying is that the articles won’t load. Once I open a story, and close out it to read another one, the list of articles to read disappears. I have to close and reopen SimpleFlying to fix the problem.

Whenever I open SimpleFlying , it says “403 not found” and makes me redirect to the website in app. I am fine with being redirected there, however it can be quite annoying. If it could be fixed, that would be great.

SimpleFlying is always up to date with the news on the website. But I personally prefer to use the website because the overall loading speed is the same but I like how the website looks. SimpleFlying looks too simple.

Great to have on the minute updates and news going on in aviation. From social media to its own app. Can’t get any better than that.

I like SimpleFlying but my eye’s hurt every time I load SimpleFlying could it be possible to put dark mode in. Also the newsletter is hard to activate in SimpleFlying but I used a computer any way to do that. Thanks

I really like Simple Flying app, but it’s been quite a while in disrepair and just wondering WHEN it’s ANNOYING update will be completed? Thanks

The was not posting new newses for ever
What kind of service is this
But I will go ahead and delete SimpleFlying
And go for different one instead

This is a great source for airline information. As an airline employee, I really appreciate the unbiased and very informative resource for daily happenings in the airline world.

It’s a very helpful and interesting app to use if you’re an AvGeek and if you just like aviation it’s also great, 10/10 would definitely recommend to anyone

When opening an article, ads pop up constantly. It is annoying when trying to view an article you are interested in.

Photos on the articles have terrible resolution, and when you click on them they show up really small on the screen. Please fix. Otherwise, this is a great app.

As a person who enjoys traveling, this gives me some next level insights to the airlines. Love the content, and SimpleFlying is well done.

Let’s get with the “program”, folks … you’re behind the power curve on implementing dark mode.

OTT, it’s a cool way to keep up with this industry .

Every time I enter SimpleFlying it says 404 Eror. I don’t know that this is even though that it does look nice and hopefully they can get around to did SimpleFlying

Easy to navigate if you have kids that like planes SimpleFlying will show them everything that is happening in real time
