Good but has flaws

2022-05-21

The airports are unsearchable under the Edit tab for the “From” and “To” entry boxes. The navlog displays incorrect headings (connect a VOR and a nearby waypoint and you will notice they are off by several degrees). Would prefer the option to choose miles instead of kilometers for the decoded METAR. Does suffer from occasional crashes. Overall a good start and has potential but has fundamental flaws and at this point I can’t recommend it as a reliable navigation tool.

Good app but with some bugs

2022-06-22

There is a bug that doesn’t allow you to enter a decimal minute in waypoints.

Very useful!

2022-07-23

Great for a free app. Highly recommended for aviation students.

However there is only one issue.
On ios 13 dark mode, the background is black and unable to read the texts. Please fix soon.

I had such high hopes.

2022-08-24

Update: I did some trouble shooting and found something that looked like a corrupted file. After a re-install it appears to be working fine. I will fly with Airmate on Tuesday, and write an update when I am down.

I have a brand new iPad mini. I downloaded Airmate , fine.
I installed the charts, fine.
I created my aircraft, fine.
I created my flight plan, again fine.
As far as I can tell, everything works fine.
Except I can’t get back to the map view, and as soon as I click on my flight plan Airmate crashes.
Sorry to do this in such a public manner but I had no choice. Everything I touch causes Airmate to crash.

Finally a free app that works!

2022-09-25

Great, simple VFR chart app. I’m amazed at how well this works - even how they integrated street and VFR maps at different zoom levels. My only gripe is the charts don’t seem to update in the background. Not a big deal since they’re only updated every few months. I would have been happy to pay a few bucks for this.

Update: I had to deck a couple of stars. Many of the plates are inaccurate or out of date. I actually got screwed up at an airport yesterday when the ATC controller gave me a runway I wasn’t expecting (27 vs 23).

Functional app but it crashes a lot

2022-10-26

It seems to be a handy and practical app but it crashes every time I try to download IFR Enroute :(

Unable to see vfr georeferenced plates option at an airport

2022-11-27

Unable to see vfr georeferenced plates option neither can I see the airport diagram when I zoom into an airport. This is for all plates in United States. Only ifr plates are visible in options and only they can be georeferenced onto the map

Less is more

2022-12-28

Sometimes less is more! Works well- price is right. Some features of ForeFlight are not there- but Airmate works great.

Great Backup for Student Pilot

2023-01-29

I’m a Student Pilot with low hours and have played with this app on a couple of flights. Recently, I flew a solo 135 mile cross country with it and the Dual 160 GPS for the Bluetooth. I tried to use it only as a backup, but it was hard to do. Pilotage and Dead Reckoning seems to want to take the backseat, when you are able to see exactly where you are and if on or off course. Still learning how to use it the easiest and best way, but I like it and for sure, the free price is very attractive.

Perfect just

2023-03-02

Very good aviation app. It’s better to sync data for all airports for instance OIAI Tower freq is not correct in the map although it is true on it’s pdf. Please add radial DME for using VOR. Thank you so much.

Recording tracks

2023-03-31

This is great for recording tracks. I like how it shows notams and weather. Handy app. I like it.

Paramotor Pilot

2023-05-02

this app is my go to app prior to taking flight. I can keep track of my route, speed, distance, height and much more. Very useful for my paramotor adventures.

Cannot load template

2023-06-02

Crash every time.

I’m grateful

2023-07-04

providing all of this valuable information for free is very much appreciated. Kind regards from the bottom of my heart.

2023-08-04

Very helpful would like to have more options like ForeFlight

Great app

2023-09-05

One of the best apps I’ve ever used for flying around so much better than for flight and everything else

Thankful

2023-10-07

I’m a student pilot and initially used this for aeronautical charts. I’m amazed how much Airmate can do and am forever grateful to be saving money that I can use on my future lessons! Thank you so much guys!

Awesome App

2023-11-07

Airmate beats the pants off other (expensive) flight planning apps....and it is free! Stop searching for a better app unless you just like wasting your money. I can’t praise Airmate enough. Great job!

Does it all!

2023-12-09

Does everything the higher end fee-base apps do. Love it!

Excellent

2024-01-09

Evaluating the app as a flying instructor comparing with Sky Demon . Not as intuitive and as easy to use however to be fair it is free. In attempting to file a flight plan I persistently saw the following arcane error message :- “efpn16b r present but pbn absent”. and spent many happy hours trying to work out what it meant. Eventually I worked out that it was to do with the aircraft configuration. There is no information about flight radar services eg farnborough radar and some of the square conspicuously codes are incorrect. e.g. Stansted TMZ has not been 7013 for several years now as of May 2022. Overall very good value for the price (free) but I don’t feel I can totally trust it. To be fair though I am using Garmin G1000 for primary navigation with backup paper chart
