User Reviews and Ratings

★★★★★ Great App…would love to discuss a more intuitive graphic idea

This app is nicely done, allows an intuitive presentation of how the aircraft will arrive at the holding fix. It’s based on the USA AIM and IFR Training Texts. Unfortunately, in my basic man’s opinion(just a humble one), the FAA’s method is counter intuitive. However this app makes it easier to see how the aircraft arrives at the fix allowing a more intuitive decision on type of entry. Pictorializing the arriving aircraft’s orientation to the hold is this app’s goal and it attains this goal

★★★★★ Great app

Very easy to operate ... very clear information.

★★★★☆ Small Issue

The App works great except the text size for the holding pattern info (degrees) is too large so it doesn’t display the entire radial/course. This is on an iPhone 12 w/o any text enlargement.

★★★★★ Best in class

Excellent product, very intuitive and on the mark! Even the compass function is very accurate and definitely helpful in flight. Highly recommended 👍
