Sporty's E6B Flight Computer App Reviews

Your so cool you make school fun

Version 3.4.5 when finding density altitude the App fills in the answer (appears to be correct) but when the = sign is pressed an incorrect answer is displayed. I don’t trust the app. I expected more from sportys.

I deleted the app and reinstalled it to see if that would help. I enter the data but it produces nothing but zeros on the right side. This is a new issue. I hadn't previously had this issue seen it until about a week ago.

The = button on iPhone will scramble negative the number for the first tap, second tap will convert back to a close by number but not original number. I don’t know if it’s the calculation or Sporty’s ground school quiz answers are wrong. I got a different answer (off by 20 feet) when calculating density altitude. I made sure to clear all history and continue to be off of the quiz answers.

The calculator does what you’d expect, but it’d be nice to have a toggle to see the conversion factors and formulas used for some of the calculations for reference.

This gives a host of aviation performance calculation tools.

Good app for what it is. Is it being developed yet? No updates for a long time, interface really needs the ability to increase text size. For $10 app the lack of updates is kind of unfair.

Calculates everything so much faster than I could with a hand held manual E6B. I am ferrying a PC-12 from HER (Crete) to PNE ( Philadelphia Northeast). It’s coming in real handy.

Please update the keyboard to be compatible with the mini floating keyboard. Leg time in tenths of an hour as well as mm:ss would be nice. A “next” button for selecting the next entry field would make things faster.

The temp is minus 13° C today. What is that in Fahrenheit? Who knows, because this calculator doesn't allow you to use minuses. Otherwise, I use it occasionally to do quick crosswind and other calculations. It can come in handy but it has its limitations.

Useful for aviation related questions. Also useful for many technical non aviation questions.

While completing some tasks it gives the correct answer without hitting the “=“ key. Which is handy, however, when hitting the “=“ key the app fails and kicks you out. Other than that it’s a great resource.

Great calculator/app. Use it all the time. Very user friendly!!

It wasn’t worth it to me. Sure, it worked, but the keyboard gets in the way and it’s not as intuitive or as capable that a digital flight computer should be. It was a little extra, but I spent the money for the one from the same folks who make more traditional products, and have for longer, and it’s a better product overall. I would skip this product if you’re choosing between a couple.
