If you're considering SportysE6BFlightComputer for your iPad, look elsewhere.
How long are they going to take to support the small size keyboard on ipad? All the other positives are moot with SportysE6BFlightComputer until they fix this. I never use the full size keyboard on iPad which makes using SportysE6BFlightComputer a total pain. Extra frustrating as a paid subscriber.
Great functionality, but can’t type anything on iPad. Works fine on iPhone, but I need this in the cockpit too. I’m aware of the floating keyboard issue, and have followed all recommended fixes. It seems like SportysE6BFlightComputer just can’t detect the keyboard configuration, even when it is fixed in the other apps. May have to switch to another app if there isn’t a good fix for this. Will amend review when/if fixed.
The = button on iPhone will scramble negative the number for the first tap, second tap will convert back to a close by number but not original number.
I don’t know if it’s the calculation or Sporty’s ground school quiz answers are wrong. I got a different answer (off by 20 feet) when calculating density altitude.
I made sure to clear all history and continue to be off of the quiz answers.
Version 3.4.5 when finding density altitude SportysE6BFlightComputer fills in the answer (appears to be correct) but when the = sign is pressed an incorrect answer is displayed. I don’t trust SportysE6BFlightComputer . I expected more from sportys.
Over all a great app on phone and iPad. Needs more watch features. Timer for example would be really nice. Having my favorites from my phone on my watch would be really nice as well. Even having different favorites on watch would be nice. Really hard to scroll Thru all of them and find what you want.
SportysE6BFlightComputer makes it a lot easier to just fly with your iPad and iPhone.
Would you please consider adding the capability to calculate time like on your electronic E6B?
SportysE6BFlightComputer is easy to use. The design is sharp while being simple to use.
One calculation that I would recommend is add a glide path to the Top of Descent calculation.
For example I would like to find how far out and what would be my FPM for a 3-degree glide path. Besides using a rule to thumb such as timing the ground speed by 5… etc.
By leaving this review, I’m hoping to get the attention of the developers to add it in.
All the necessary functions and more!!!
My only complaint in the W/B section is that you can’t change the units from lbs to kg. You have to calculate everything in lbs and then convert them to kgs…. An oversight? (Not everyone works in lbs and gallons)
I actually prefer the old version before the update. There were some features on the old version, like the weight and balance, that are no longer available on this version. Those other features were very helpful.
I deleted SportysE6BFlightComputer and reinstalled it to see if that would help. I enter the data but it produces nothing but zeros on the right side. This is a new issue. I hadn't previously had this issue seen it until about a week ago.
Very intuitive and user friendly interface
SportysE6BFlightComputer should cover everything you need for an E6B, but lowers the amount of time spent on calculations. Good for use on the go, or if you are in a rush.
You always have it with you except during a written exam.
All the features you need and a modern, clean interface. I like the ability to favorite calculations so you can quickly do the 3 or 4 you always do.
The calculator does what you’d expect, but it’d be nice to have a toggle to see the conversion factors and formulas used for some of the calculations for reference.
Don’t use SportysE6BFlightComputer very much, but when I do it’s invaluable. Quick and easy and always at you fingertips.
Useful for aviation related questions. Also useful for many technical non aviation questions.
I love SportysE6BFlightComputer except for the size of the keypad. It only uses a third of the blue area on the bottom of the screen. Please give the option to upscale the numerical keypad to be larger, even the size of the entire blue area.
The title says it all! It has made my life just that much easier! Using ForeFlight and finding wind directions has changed my life!
