8Flight Aviator App Reviews

Super useful for FBO information and fuel prices as well as en route meal stops. Developers have gone to great lengths to lower latency for weather products and have expanded flight planning options. Develop team are pilots and are providing frequent updates. I saved enough on fuel on my LAS to SQL flight to pay for the subscription.

Writing this review to share a positive experience I had vs firefight. On a recent flight at night in a R44 I needed to find a full service FBO at 10pm. ForeFlight offered me nothing, 8 flight gave me hours and current pricing for fuel (ForeFlight didn’t have gas prices at an international airport?) I’m also writing this review because Matt owes me money, despite this the review is genuine.

Thanks so much Matt for all the hard work you have put in to this! I love the FBO ice cream finder pretty cool! Also love the detailed weather information and imagery. It comes in helpful when navigating around not so great weather.

Really glad to have an app for the data I can’t get in the other EFB apps!

The live radar and up to the minute METARs are better than others and worth it just for that. All the FBO, planning, and related info is great. Right now using this with another flight app, but as this app keeps adding needed features, it will be all I need.

Absolutely love this new EFB! The real-time fuel prices and FBO fee updates are helpful, saving me both time and money. It makes checking the weather so much faster and the accuracy is spot-on. The app provides all the essential tools in one place, but if I could offer one suggestion: declutter the default map, please. Sometimes I just want to look at a map. Overall highly recommend it for anyone looking to streamline their flight planning

I gave it a try. I honestly don’t see how it’s better than Foreflight. I found it difficult to figure out. It was constantly downloading updates and unreliable. I wanted it to work but I think it’s too much $ for what it is right now. Maybe I’m missing something but I gave it an honest try.

Really like the app, especially for Alaska flying with the color coded FAA cameras on the map for quick reference. The only critique so far is the flow of the flight planning, when you click on an airport to look at the weather would speed the flow up to add the quick links for details and direct to at the top like in the more function of holding your finger down on the map to see the nearest Navaids and airports. Definitely has some cool features compared to ForeFlight for less than half the pr

Fast and intuitive app. Weather radar is superior to other EFB’s. Excited to see future updates.

The live FBO pricing made planning super straightforward, and the difference in fees between stops was more than the entire cost of the app. It made choosing the right airports incredibly easy and saved me money right away. Highly recommended for anyone who wants real, immediate value from an EFB.

I’ve used many EFBs over the years, but I’ll be sticking with 8Flight. Super clean design and no fluff. I can’t say enough good things about the realtime weather and overall fidelity of the data (fuel, FBO, etc). Highly recommend for any GA pilots.

The team has rolled out excellent features! Finally GDL90 support. My biggest problem were the SIGMET/AIRMET overlays which cluttered the map. I’m GA flying under FL100 so a lot of these were irrelevant beyond flight planning phase.

The airport restaurants and attractions displayed on the map really make it helpful when traveling cross country and also give us ideas to go in our Bonanza. Couple that with accurate fuel prices take the guess work out of our planned stops. Love it!!!

I’ve been dreaming about an app that would show me where I can land and find a hotel right on the field or short walk away for so long. So glad this is finally out.

Comprehensive app for the professional and recreational pilot alike! Great tool for trip planning offering fuel, fees and even food!

Amazing app! Tremendous help flight planning!

I can’t count the number of times I’ve been hit with sticker shock on fuel and fees after landing. I’m thrilled to fine an app that gets just how important it is to get these things right!

Fuel and fbo fee data is not well consolidated or updated elsewhere. This is a great app for getting that data in one place, and informing when/where you stop and fuel up to make flying as economical as possible.

Now I get everything I use to get from JetFuelX without paying ForeFlight $400/year seems like a win.

The map and fuel stop at the edge of St Lucia. The fuel availability and pricing is incomplete for the Caribbean. This has potential, but needs refinement. Keep working on it.
