Not ready for primetime

Opened C172Per on iPhone6 and the tip-screen blocks 50% the EULA, and there was no way to move the tip screen aside to click the ‘agreed’ button. Couldn’t get across this initial screen.
As an end-user, this merits zero star.

Great App For Pilots

I am currently a student pilot and had to do my first few weight and balance calculations by hand. After that I was allowed to use electronic means of calculating performance. C172Per has everything you need in one easy to use interface. I use this before all of my flights now and would highly recommend C172Per to any other pilots!

A must have!

If you fly 172s, do yourself (and others) a favor and download and use C172Per. It’s the best there is!

Amazing!

Holy crap C172Per is awesome! I just found it by accident and I love it. Does C172Per apply to 172s only, or can it be used with others?

Great App

I shared C172Per with my primary and Instrument students. It fills in a lot of the gaps in calculations and even has a risk calculator that keeps you observant of your stress levels...

Great app!

Wow! Just discovered C172Per. Has a lot of very useful information to help me be a very safe pilot. I wish developer could open the program to inputting and using other planes and shorter runways. (I'm a STOL kind of guy!).

My “goto” WB calc

Best WB app out their!! Blows away ForeFlight WB tool. A must have for any pilot.

Great, thank you.

Appreciate it. Helpful.

Perfect

This is actually so useful

What a great supplement to ForeFlight!

I use this for takeoff/landing performance calculations, as well as double check Foreflight’s W&B calculations. Great app for GA. I wish they made a C150 version too!

Best W&B App out there

I have used many different apps and this is by far the best one. I fly a Bonanza and this is such an essential part of my flight planning. I also use C172Per for my commercial training in a 172 and now my multi in a Baron. Keep up the great work, and thank you for all the hard work. You have many fans!!!

Right On!

If you have Web access, it calculates performance data for you. Great app for planning: been using it several years.

Greatest pilot Performance App

C172Per is incredible, user friendly, precise, and great for planning flights and getting the data you need. I could not recommend C172Per enough

Exactly what I was looking for

I am shocked that C172Per is free. It’s clean, user friendly, gives accurate results, no ads or other junk, it’s pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Great work and thank you for making this available!

Amazing Work

The above reviewer says it all- C172Per is amazing. I would only add a couple of capabilities:
1) climb performance in both FPNM as well as FPM using the various flap settings and during departure (Vy), enoute (cruise climb), arrival, and missed approach.
2) the ability to input specific POH data for other GA aircraft/models/etc. Perhaps this could be done in a companion app

Great App!

I have found C172Per to be easy to use and a helpful planning tool. I haven’t flown general aviation in many years and was excited for the new technology. C172Per allows for quick and easy W&B and performance calculations along with current weather conditions. I highly recommend it.

Great App!

I was looking for a weight and balance app. C172Per gives you so much more as it notes in the title “Performance “. I fly multiple 172s and adding the specifics of a particular aircraft is easy and straightforward . I like the pull of airports and live data and the risk assessment is a nice bonus feature.

Fantastic app

This is the most amazing app I have come across in a long, long time. Very user friendly and with lots of options and it will give you very detail information with lots and lots of data. For performance calculations look no more, this is the best app you will find anywhere else...

Awesome Flight Performance app!

I use C172Per on every flight with my 1975 C172. A reliable app and it provides the info a pilot needs for planning and during flight. I took the time to hand calc the parameters of my flights to verify agreement with C172Per a few times, and not once did I get a difference. Highly recommend it!

Great for Quick Calculations

Absolutely love C172Per for figuring out rough estimates to see if certain loads or runway lengths are acceptable.
