ForeFlight Checklist Pro for iPhone

Been using for a few months and love it Prefer over the MFD lists in the Cirrus Also a big fan of ForeFlight The sync feature of Checklists is great and Ive suggested they incorporate that idea into ForeFlight Ive also suggested Checklists be incorporated into ForeFlight This would eliminate a lot of back and forth between apps and clean up the iPad issues Others have suggested and I echoneed an iPad version                 Excellent with suggestions

Very customizable Easy to edit Works great on iPhone AND iPad I cant figure out why everyone is complaining about not having iPad version No it doesnt have landscape view but it doesnt on the iPhone eithersmall matter When you expand it on iPad to 2X it almost fills the screen All the murmuring and complaining almost stopped me from purchasing this appIm glad I didnt listen I think it is a great app and will only get better                 Awesome app

This app is great its easy to use and is a good way to keep your checklists visible and organized The fact that it checks off which steps youve completed and which ones you havent make it so you wont miss a checklist step even if ATC calls out traffic or some other distraction occurs while youre performing the check Im really looking forward to the next version with sharable checklists and an online generator              Great App for Pilots

I love this app It is simple yet powerful and does exactly what it advertises I am a student pilot and I am very detail oriented I like that I can make extremely long and detailed checklists to ensure that I dont miss anything and to assist with my memorization techniques I use this application before during and after every single flight I take I recently used the checklist on my presolo check ride and the CFI was very impressed with how thorough I was A word of WARNING beware of the templates They are an excellent starting point and nothing more As Pilot in Command it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that whatever checklist you use is accurate complete and safe A couple of the templates I have used have differed from the POH were missing critical steps or had misinformation I suggest you validate your checklist against the POH and common sense before using for a flight I dropped the first star because I found a rather serious bug in the software I had a checklist for my C172 that had sub lists preflight before takeoff in flight securing I found that as I checked off items in my preflight random items in my before takeoff list were also getting checked off The support team was very quick to get a fix back to me and assured me that the root cause would be resolved in the next release I dropped the second star because the web interface needs some work The web interface functions but it needs some enhancements to make it truly usable Text box data entry needs improvement when you click into a text box the cursor is put at the end of the text regardless of where you click Moving items up and down on your list is very tedious as you have to move it one position at a time The web editor is a web app sandboxed on a much larger web page It seems as though 8 of every 10 times I intend to scroll within my list on the web I end up scrolling the entire web page instead This is very annoying and ends up wasting time It would be very helpful if the web editor had its own page without any mastheads or other content Bottom line this is an outstanding application that needs some refinement to make it an excellent application Fix the bug and give the web interface some TLC and this is a 5 star application for sure Ill be back to edit this review when the next version comes Thoughts for the future iPad version please Integrate with ForeFlight HD possibly as an inapp purchase           Great App NotSoGreat Web Interface

The app works fantastic but it lacks additional aircraft particularly Piper PA 24 Comanche I have had the App for more than a year and I have yet seen additional aircraft added to its library              Need more aircraft

The app does what it should It does crash on my iPad every now and then it has the 182rg which I use for my c182n For what they charged they should work on the universal app upgrade and test it for ios7        Ok no iPad version Expensive

No excuse for not having an iPad version of a 20 app        No iPad version

Really is a great app and is perfect for iPhone and iPod touch Would really like to have a proper iPad version as well                 iPad Please

Only 3 stars due to the fact that there is not an iPad version           Checklist for IPad also

For one thing I try adding and editing my Cirrus checklist to customize it and it crashes frequently while editing Also it would be nice lets say expected to cut or copy and paste one or multiple items from one checklist to another Yes an iPad app would be great or even better would be for Foreflight to incorporate this into Foreflight Mobile so we have it where we need it        Good but editing is terrible

Nice app really really really needs iPad version           iPad please

I first bought Checklist when working on my MEI in a Piper Seminole I loved the ability to write custom checklists so that I could organize the cumbersome multiengine procedures so I could quickly find the right page for normal emergency and practical test maneuvers Once I started using it I found that I could then build specific lists for each aircraft in our fleet Rather than rely on different printed lists in each of our clubs planes I am now have my lists saved on my iPhone and iPad Why on both Simply so I can keep maps and approach plates displayed on my iPad and dedicate the iPhone to checklists No need to lose my plates just because I am using a checklist Of course this app runs fine on the iPad and running in 2x mode makes them easier to read than any paper list I highly recommend this app to my students                 CFI likes this Checklist app

I bought Aircheck first but compared to Foreflight Aircheck is a waste of money and time Editing is much easier with Foreflightdont look any further if you want an electronic checklist for your iPad After spending weeks looking for a checklist for my iPad and finding Foreflight I couldnt be happier                 Best Checklist App

I really like the concept of the app but not having a true iPad app is a hindrance I have been using the app on the iPad but it can only be used in portrait mode and the portrait mode cannot be turned 180 degrees so it is very limiting This should really be integrated into Foreflights flight software with an icon which allows the user to easily switch between charts and checklists In addition their should be an icon on the charts that allows you to immediately access the emergency checklists This would be a very nice feature in a paperless cockpit I have been using Foreflights charting and navigation software in my Cessna T210 and am happy with it for IFR flights The georeferenced approach plates are really great using the bad elf gps I have not experienced an issue with it yet in about 25 hours of flight time with the unit It would be really cool if they could get it to work on the SIDs If they would make this work for the iPad and integrate it with their other software I think they would really have an edge on the competition           Checklist Pro Review

I use this app for every flight My iPhone one handed with an Otterbox belt clip for easy access and storage and I do the preflight then my iPad Mini mounted on my yoke in a RAM mount using iPhone emulation mode takes over for the rest of the flight It has allowed me to customize my checklists adding enhancing and reordering as I desire The initial setup is most easily done via the web page where you can use your keyboard The data entry is not elegant frustrating might be a better term but once you are done theres little to do until you setup another aircraft Downsides 1 Portrait only This means that if you use other apps that require landscape or thats how you have your device mounted you are boned 2 iPad only via iPhone emulation mode Click on the 2x button to fill the screen Hey at least everything is large 3 No expanded support for larger iPhone screens just the basic iPhone 5 size Requests 1 For such a promising piece of software its beginning to look like abandonware Yes it is doing the job but the interface on the web page could use some cleanup as could some of the app interfaces 2 Integrate with ForeFlight split screen mode would really be nice 3 Native iPadiPhone 66 support 4 Landscape support All the downsides considered I love it Ive got a Grumman Tiger with a 37 year old POH that Id like to keep in good shape and this app allows me to keep the POH in the pocket of my cockpit              Use It Every Flight

Make it for iPad Everyone is using iPads in the cockpit now why not have this for iPad Would make it so much better           Would be great

I bought this app and another checklist app called AirCheck and Im a bit disappointed about spending 20 The other app was a 14 the price and did more The only good thing about this app is that the app looks nice and has templates        Not really worth it

I love the Foreflight map app and would not fly without it This app although easily customizable and functional does not work at all on an iPad in landscape mode which is how mine is mounted Very disappointed that Foreflight has chosen not to make this app as good and flexible as their moving map I am still using paper at this time and hoping they change their mind soon           Good app but where is iPad version

This is a a top notch technology minded pilots got to have APP Oh wait no IPad version Never mind        Where is the IPad APP

This is the best APP available It has been out for over two years but not many updates based on customer feedback Why not an IPad version This would be good the IPad has really taken off for aviation use                 Need An IPad Version

This is a good application However it needs updating For example there is no iPad version of the app In addition there is still no ability to print the checklist out in order to have a hard copy backup This is a very significant limitation and problem If these issues were addressed then it would be a fivestar app I encourage everyone to provide feedback to ForeFlight to urge them to make these improvements           Needs updating

Ive made numerous request for an iPad app and their only response is we will look at it Fore flight is keeping the app available for software changes but thats about it Now with the iPad mini its even more important to get an iPad app Very disappointing        Repeated request for iPad app

Pros Updated since the first review and version 10 Nice interface Easy to use and understand the programs functions Allows for multiple aircraft checklist Great if you fly different aircraft or rent different type You can configure your own aircraft from scratch Direct sunlight viewing is much better then the first version  Very comprehensive checklist capabilities can be added This will be necessary with glass cockpits like the G1000 Selection check mark is bigger and easier to read with the inverted text then the previous versions Nice I couldnt find any bugs while I was using it Didnt crash once during my preflight of an 03 C172 Knowing this companies calibre of products it will only get better I enjoy using it Cons With the G1000 and Avidyne glass cockpits it would be neat to be able to add a color picture to the notes section of the response Text does work for the most part Still no audible feed back of selection during inspection selection Dont forget to lock your phone if you put it in your pocket you could inadvertently select or deselect multiple task and miss them completely This is especially noted if you need to use both hands to reposition a movable surface Alway keep the paper version handy Personally I turn the phone off before starting the airplane There is no place to keep the phone from sliding off my lap or knee board They added Emergency functions This is fine for review but again the last thing you need to be doing during an emergency is looking for your iPhone Fly the airplane Keep your emergency checklist on paper and in front of you at ALL times              Pros and Cons

Expected much more for the money This app is substantially handicapped and needs the improvements erchoed by many           Disappointing

Well I asked a long time ago after paying 20 for it but I guess they dont care Fine I switched to Garmin pilot and will use a better checklist app for the ipad This absolutely NEEDS an iPad version Come on foreflight How about integrate it into the main app BUT AT LEAST UPDATE IT FOR THE IPAD     IPAD

Used this app for the first time today in my SP and what a letdown It took me years to find sunglasses that I love flying with they just so happened to be polarized Because this app is stuck in landscape I cant see it due to the polarization of the iPad Unless I take off my sunglasses this app is useless and a waste of my money Bad planing guys        Where is the iPad version

Wish I could get a refund Decent feature set when on the mobile device but is very buggy and cumbersome Entering checklists is a test of patience as it must be done on the iPhone or iPad entering via a PC would be much faster if the checklist could be transferred from PC to mobile App crashes A LOT when creating new checklists Checklist sharing functionality between iPad Mini and iPhone 6 plus not functional even when both connected to the same foreflight account Too bad ForeFlight is such a great app this one is a big miss at too high of a price tag        Feature Poor

Fantastic checklisting application that works great in the cockpit The web interface provides a simple interface for creating andor sharing checklist databases The only feature that I wish it had was shake to check              Perfect Balance of Features and Simplicity

This is a good app that can be made better First it needs to be made for the iPad At the very least it needs to ROTATE Using ForeFlight Mobile HD on the iPad strapping it to my right leg and having the Bad Elf GPS plugged in the bottom of the iPad we need to rotate the iPad 180 degrees This is to keep from breaking the Bad Elfs jack and even more frustrating the Bad Elfs jack keeps dislodging from the iPad if receives the slightest pressure Rotating the iPad 180 degrees solves this but Checklist Pro does not rotate like Mobile HD and almost every other app leaving our checklists upsidedown I would allow the user to customize the font color and also its background I like to have the killer items in a contrasting color or to appear highlighted As a real bonus there should be a version that can be incorporated directly into ForeFlights Mobile HD as a clickable tab just like Maps and Plates and Scratch Pad These changes would make this app 5 stars           Good app but needs attention

I bought this app to use on my iPad even though it was designed for the iPhone I like the ability to use the ForeFlight checklist for my plane and the ability to customize it to my taste Im looking forward to the HD version Hint hint ForeFlight              Great app except

Not a useful app considering it does not replace the real checklist It did not include my type of airplane which is a common Cessna Very difficult to create a new checklist based on either an existing format or start from scratch Hard to edit and put that much information on an iPhone I would get a refund if it was offered     CFII and AME

Almost perfect How about an option that swaps the check button to the right side of the screen I like to hold my phone in my left hand and therfore its hard to press the button with my thumb UPDATE You flipped it Thanks 5 stars                 Fip It

Love this app it has been an integral part of my preflight and in flight routine but as I have tried to make my cockpit more efficient I have found that I need my ram mount to hold my iPad in landscape I have searched for a better option but havent found one out there yet come on guys        Wheres the iPad

Ok app but needs IPAD VERSION        Needs IPad Version

I use it on every flight Just wish it had an iPad version              Great little checklist app

Great customization feat But really really needs ipad mini full app And please dont make us pay another steep 20 for a full version Other than that I would of gave it 5 stars This app is very functional and every pilot should have it but not for 20           Almost there

OK for an iPhone app BUT every pilot at least every one I know uses ForeFlight and the standard ForeFlight application has been updated multiple times just in the last year Unfortunately theyve forgotten this app since inception iPad use is currently a bit of a joke As previous reviewers mentioned there is NO landscape use only portrait and 2X view of the phone app is clownish in look and feel iPad design could incorporate multiple columns room for additional information so you could make a quick list and full list that has EVERYTHING power settings table would be AWESOME Similar to all the commercially available printed checklists with both their laminated single card and their extensive spiral bound list Im still wishing the team at Foreflight realizes the need in the market for an excellent checklist app and starts paying more attention to this step child app theyve neglected Dan N8987W           The poor forgotten app from team Foreflight

Cant figure out why this wouldnt get the attention that the segment deserves obviously there is more money in Foreflight wait I just figured it out would still be nice if some upandcomer at Foreflight would take this app on as a way to show how awesome you are and make it what it so easily could be        Kind of sad

I purchased this app because I am so pleased with the capabilities of the EFB app Pretty disappointed that I would have to rotate the screen to use the checklist What would I need to do in an emergency or just outside the airport traffic area You know the answer Take my attention from looking outside or flying the airplane to adjust the screen For that I could pull out the old checklist        Needs autorotate

You should make it clear that this is for piston aircraft only after buying the app I was shocked to not see any jet checklists Not cool        Not for JETS

Wonderful application Easily modifiable I started with an existing 182RG and inserted my 182R Values and notes from my POH and presto I have a 182R Ckecklist                 Checklist on iPhone

I have to echo what most people are saying about having 1 a TRUE iPad version come on guys Cant take that much effort 2 Integration into ForeFlight HD yes thats a bit more work but would be nice to have 3 The ability to emailshare the checklists I believe you can do this in the Lite version 4 The ability to print the checklist always good to have a paper backup Biggest issue though is that the synch from the web to the iPad appears to be none functional Created the checklist online setup the account information on the iPad tapped the synch button and nothing blank zippo After spending 23 hours getting my checklists just right online they are stuck there and totally useless Emailed support twice and no response other than the automatically generated we got your message The only reason I gave it 2 stars is because it is NOT BAD If you get the synch working Id consider going up to 4 UPDATE 06 Jul 2011 Support found the issue with the iPadweb sync Apparently the login nameemail address is case sensitive so if youre having this issue ensure you enter it online exactly the same as on the iPad Updated to 4 stars When they release a true iPad version it could be a 5              Web iPad Sync

This app would be okay if it were usable in landscape mode I dont understand why ForeFlight doesnt just incorporate a checklist function into their main ForeFlight aviation app and make it landscape usable        Should be better

If I can have a wish list I would like to have a section for limitations and separate Abnormals and Emergencies section Is there any chance you will have a PC version for editing and creating checklist it would be much easier when starting from scratch Other than that it seem to be a very easy program to use              Great but needs limitations section

I dont know who would use their iPhone in the cockpit iPads on the other hand are fantastic Plus this company is the innovator in apps for the iPad This is why Im so disappointed that they havent ported this for use on the iPad Please throw some resources at this app           No iPad app

I bought this to use with a C172R The checklist is great easy to follow and a lot nicer than using the POH If your plane is listed I would purchase this app because it will make your life easier Emergency procedures are great too                 Wonderful

I bought this app cause it seemed like it would be great for handling an every flight must however I dont use my iPhone for flight Need iPad app to be worth it Not many preshared checklists to choose probably because people have given up on this app No attention or updates from fore flight they should sell it to someone who would care        Bought it never use it

All in all its a pretty good app but I do wish for two things with this app An iPad version The ability to print various sizeformat paper checklists           Good AppCould be better

I tried the free with inapp purchase checklist apps They were a joke This version is fully editable an easy to use The one thing that would make it better would be to have verbal challenge and voice recognition response              Oh jeez just buy it already

I was probably one of the first to buy it maybe three years ago but Ive never used it once Since I use the ipad in landscape mode in the cockpit and my head doesnt swivel 90 degrees well I just cant use it Unless you are only going to use it on the iphone which seems very difficult since the places to touch are so small Id suggest NOT spending any money on this junk Since it is difficult to touch the right places on the tiny iphone screen which I do have it would actually be dangerous to use this in turbulence taking your attention away from flying the plane for too long while you try to touch it in the right place If youre using a checklist something is happening in the cockpit that requires you to complete tasks not mess with horrible software     Not usable for me
