Latest reviews of XAirports app for iPhone and iPad
Easy and straight forward
Rapid, clear maps, and a lot of new features Tks Mr Thiel
It was so long-awaited event in simmers lives! Now we have working, almost not buggy, intellectual co-pilot application! Thank you guys! It works very well both for small flies and for airliners. Its very useful for selected descends and approaches.
The app is sometimes useful, but many times did not find the charts so is still necessary to find them online... The graphic is also basic and it usable only in landscape mode, and the search bar with airport list remains visible all the time so the screen available is half of what could be. Why is not possible to hide the list after the search is done???? Well...very basic app with many improvements to do. And it is not a substitute for real charts. The only useful informations given are the frequencies, but for a profitable approach you need charts also!!!
This app is ABSOLUTLY amazing and totally worth $.99. The only thing I would say about it is a button to turn off all the red pins when you are tracking your plane. Thanks SO much for putting this app out!
