AOPA GO Reviews

Wouldn’t let me put aircraft colors in and for that won’t save it - which means I can’t even begin flight planning...Wow. As technology goes I’m pretty hard to disappoint. But AOPAGO is a buggy piece of junk. Not worthy of the AOPA label - unless I’ve missed something over the last ten years when I was un-enrolled at AOPA....

Had AOPAGO on my smartphone iPhone 7. All features give me an error stating that an internet connection is needed. Updated and re-downloaded AOPAGO . Still doesn’t work.

EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE! I tap on flight plan and it never gets past loading, weather information is rarely correct either!

Are you serious I can’t view charts? Terrible app

Very difficult and not intuitive. Been experimenting for over an hour and yet to be able to load a flight plan and get associated weather. TAF not shown for all airports that have TAF’s. A TAF will be shown for an airport further away than the closest airport with TAF reporting.
Very anxious to use AOPAGO as a user friendly alternative for a full 1-800-wxbrief in areas in areas without good internet access. WX brief requires to much bandwidth to be useful in many areas. I do like the ease of getting in motion radar images. Keep working on it; could be a great and useful tool.

Used a few times in the past to review weather and file a flight plan. Recently app stopped working because it requires a download of current airport data, yet cannot download because the download page is blank. Please fix bugs!

App design and use is great but half the time it thinks it’s offline. Even with full cell bars and/or good WiFi.

Crashes on “NOTAM search”.
Advertised “fee detail” page not visible.

Whoever designed this needs to go back to graphics school. Faint colored type on blue background is hard to read as is tiny 2 point gray on white. TAF times are almost invisible. Click on runways to enlarge and the end of the runway image is cut off which cuts off the all important runway number. Yikes! Doesn't happen with all airports but I found several in a few minutes. Taxiway letters are not shown! Not going to find Taxiway Charlie with AOPAGO! This is a serious omission. When looking at an airport detail screen, the back button takes you to a listing of airports instead of the one you were on. The weather graphics come up with everything requiring extra steps if all you want to check is turbulence. The oversize spinning prop is annoying. I'm surprised to find all of these issues in a matter minutes on an app from a major developer. I'll stick with the other pocket app which has none of these issues.

AOPAGO has been the biggest blessing in short flight planning. Unfortunately the newest update has made many things such as weather unavailable making AOPAGO useless and unreliable. If these are fixed then I highly recommend this as a resource.

I really like the ease of use, the layout, and the capabilities of AOPAGO. I am having difficulty filing Flight plans, as it won’t let me enter my password for 1-800-WXBRIEF, which makes AOPAGO basically useless other than for reference purposes that I can achieve with a sectional. I can receive briefings, but when it comes time to file, an error message pops up asking me to link my account in the pilot screen. (which I have attempted) Hopefully this will be resolved soon, and I’ll actually be using AOPAGO frequently.

AOPAGO should be the first “go to” app for pilots' “go/no go” decision making. Why? First of all, it's a great “overview” tool, and secondly, I'd wager a bet that most of you pilots that are active run Foreflight of Garmin Pilot, anyway.

In fact, most pilots run multiple apps because there's no such thing as a “magic wand” app that solves every problem for every situation for every pilot.

Sure, for “low tier, in-the-weeds” analysis, there are more appropriate apps. But for the high-level overviews, I rank AOPAGO as top-shelf.

This is really intended to be a quick weather and airport reference. It does a great job at those. The flight planner is a ‘lite’ version and that’s fine too for getting a quick idea of flight times to different spots. Thanks AOPA!

Great app for flight planning and prep. The weather integration is good for initial information and gives pilots a good first step in preparing for flights. Thanks AOPA

Great in every possible way, just as the organization it represents
