SkyDemon Reviews

For me this is an awesome easy to use app, well worth the money, waiting for the SkyDemon to evolve to seeing other users inflight 🙏🏼🇿🇼

The product should develop more capabilities for IFR flying
1) synthetic vision
2) possibility to file IFR flight plans to eurocontrol
3) recommend recently filed flight plans for the route that the user wishes to fly.
These last 2 feature would eliminate the need to subscribe to Rocket Route and could definitely represent great value
4) possibility to subscribe to and integrate Jeppesen IFR charts
5) integration with ADL210 device for weather, METARs and TAFs coverage across Europe.
All there capabilities are already present on ForeFlight which is now available in Europe and I am tempted to migrate to ForeFlight.

This is an excellent APP that I used during my flight
In Bournemouth with stratus device.
Hope that to get more future updates
Thanks

Tried runway HD, didn’t think it was as easy. this app is intuitive, easy, and mega helpful. Such a good app. Worth every penny.

This is the best soft ware we ever came across
Easy to use and priced very reasonable

I downloaded the trial version and was impressed that you can share data across platforms with ease. I create plans on the desktop and save them to the cloud and can open them right on the ipad, and vice verse. In addition to my frequent VFR flights, I love daydreaming about places to go and armchair flying. SkyDemon will be a sure purchase as soon as my foreflight subscription is up in a few months. Look foreword to the replacement but not ready to throw the money out the window. This is much more suited for a bumpy VFR flight.

Very good VFR navigation app in Europe.

Best VFR App for Europe by far

Keep up the good work!

Have used Fore Flight and WingX and new Garmin for IPad . This Fly Demon, beats them all. No more North up, this has either North up or Route up for navigation, also has a useable a glide slope in panel instrumentation format....add google earth -route depiction for virtual synthetic vision and say good bye Garmin . This is the best so far. Do still like WingX as runner up.

Have loaded it into my iPad 3 times does not work? I am running a iPad 1 with the latest update have asked for support will update with sky demons reply

Service support was quick and solved the problem as my iPad was set to Hong Kong changed it to U.K. and it now works map integration with flight planning tools notams Taf's metars is excellent and is a great tool for the iPad pilot will report back after I have used it on a few more flights but so far I am very impressed.

Great app!

Very impressive app, and it would even be helpful for me if you would add Iceland in your maps as I live and fly in Iceland :-)

With best wishes and hopes for us few but interested!

Having received my pilots license in Wyoming I was unprepared for the congested airspace above Germany. With all the restricted airspace and congestion this app gave me the confidence I needed to be able to fly here. Wouldn't try it without it.

Probably full support for iPhone 6 plus will be done soon ( does not use full screen size)
Otherwise 👍👌 this is IT!

Downloaded to my iPad 3 and program asked for my logon name and password. Of course, I never had a chance to register, so nothing worked. Very frustrating.

Tried to log in to get started. No button to get set up. No button to even reset password, as if I had one.

Was just informed by this app tech support that they have no intention of supporting US-based pilots. Strange, because they provide US maps, plates, etc. But there are several features that don't work at all for US, including NOTAMs and TFRs - a rather critical gap in flight planning coverage. this app also translates the METAR visibility data into meters and converts the altimeter settings into millibars - again useless for US pilots. This caused me to drop my rating for SkyDemon from 5 Stars to 3 Stars, because it listed in the US App Store, but isn't usable (at least for all it's advertised capabilities) by US pilots!

OK, with those drawbacks clearly stated and out of the way, I have to say that I'm really disappointed that I won't be able to use this as my primary flight planning tool. For those of you in Europe, this is probably the best app of its kind - an easy "5-Star" rating for the Euro pilots.

It provides the most complete planning capability, including fuel planning (with configurable reserves and a factor for "contingencies" that make it highly unlikely to inadvertently run out of fuel on any this app flight plan...

The ability to create multiple "cruise profiles" for your airplane (think 'different power settings and fuel burn rates') as well as climb/descent profiles means that this app can accurately tell you where to begin your climb (or descent) in order to be at the target altitude at the right time/place, and correctly predict the fuel requires to perform the flight.

During the planning cycle, you get warning when your enroute altitudes are below the minimum safe altitudes for that segment, and you can adjust individual segments accordingly.

The "profile view" lets you visualize the vertical flight parameters along your route, and jump immediately to a specific point on the "top-down" view to add a waypoint, or just to get a better perspective.

In summary, for Euro pilots, this could be the best tool around, and well worth the price of the software.

But if you are a US pilot, this app could be a useful planning aid, but you should NOT plan to rely on it as your primary software. Lack of US-based visibility and altimeter setting info in the translated METARs, lack of any TFR info, and zero availability of NOTAMs are a "fatal gap" in coverage that will force you into another tool.

The company's stated lack of interest in providing support for US pilots is a critical omission to me, and makes me wonder why this app is even listed in the US version of SkyDemon Store. I wonder if Apple even realizes that these folks have no intent to service and support US based users...

Nothing about south america, Very baddd..........!!!!!!!
