* Before I used this app all this VOR orientation was so complicated, and now it's clear as ice!""****
* I have been looking for an app such as this to teach my students""****
* I teach instruments for the US Army at Ft Rucker, Al. This is a very good app to demonstrate the effects of wind on your course and how various MH effects the correcting for wind drift. It's also very useful in explaining, demonstrating and adaptive practice of track/course intercepts.""****
* Easy to use, perfectly designed and helping to understand basic navigation stuff. Highly recommended for student pilots, instrument applicant and CFI's."---------------------------------------------------

Best training and refresher app. Worth the money
Use this to prep for the IFR written
Not worth the money
Worked fine on my old Nexus 7. On the new N7, I only get a black screen. Edit: Now working well on 2013 N7. Thanks to the develop for the prompt update! This app has been very helpful for me.
Everytime I press test on vor or ils trainer or settings/info, the app stops working.
The one issue I had (changing OBS accidently changes instrument) I emailed the developer about and he came up with a solution. Keep the awesome training apps coming! Helped calm my VOR insecurities before my successful IFR checkride. Thanks!
Great app for practicing Radio Nav and visualizing procedures. Wish it didn't have iOS graphics and buttons but not a big deal.
However during ILS simulation mode, is it possible to actually 'land' on the runway? The aircraft just seems to endlessly fly into the terrain. Also, I'm real life, wouldn't the ILS guide the aircraft more towards the beginning of the runway, and not so far into it? Thanks.
The controls are really annoying. Have given the developer some good tips on how to fix it, but seems there is no will to do this. I recommend you to find some other app that wont frustrate you so much... Still no pinch zoom, and still annoyingly changes instrument when singel tapping... aaarg... None of the new features are implemented, so you can disregard everything under the NEWS column
i can not exit the application on galaxy note 2 please fix it
Sent the dev a question about some unusual permissions. Received an immediate reply thanking me for pointing it out and promising a fix. Two and a half days later a new version was released with the permissions corrected. I'm very impressed with Amir's response and am excited to start perfecting my VOR skills without burning fuel!
Great app who want to learn or have an idea about the practical use of the radio nav. thank you
Great for getting you head around rnav
The most comprehensive tool I have ever come across
Great to use with students prior to flight.
Solid..wish it did more.
Good aplication
Bought this to do ADF and RMI training and there is none. Just VOR.
Fantastic teaching aid for my students Thank you
