CX-3 Flight Computer App Reviews

The user can touch the buttons that mimic the buttons on the actual calculator, but when the FLT button is pressed the menu that is launched can only be accessed with up down arrows (just like the actual calculator). Using this on a touch screen device like an iPad is a poor user experience, especially for $9.99. Please update the menus to touch buttons.

I am teaching PPL ground school. I recommend to all my students the physical ASA CX-3 for the FAA knowledge tests. This app allows me to demonstrate the functions on my iPad, if needed projected to a bigger screen. I find myself even using it at home, when again I cannot remember where I put my physical CX-3. Sure, ASA has the Web demo app, however, it is beneficial to have an app independent of WiFi or cellular access. Well worth a small fee.

I use this tool everyday, what’s great is it also works offline unlike the website. If you in aviation school I would definitely recommend buying this app. I only deducted a star because some users say the calculations to be inaccurate but I believe they fixed those issues but I have also never experienced those problems, the app works well for me and I think it will for you too.

I use this for my students while their calculator is on order.

I think they’ve fixed the calculation issues with W/B because I haven’t experienced them.
