Sporty s Pilot Shop, the world s largest pilot shop, brings you the E6B Flight Computer for the iPad and iPhone Based on Sporty s popular handheld E6B Electronic Flight Computer, the E6B ...
Agree with other reviewers that larger text would be better Lots of wasted space and not really attractive pages especially on an iPad which a lot of us are using Would be nice if the timer made a sound when count was reached             Nice app but needs a better look jdmge
I have the Sporty s E6B calculator and the old fashion wiz wheel this by far is so less complicated and a must for all pilots Built in calculator as well since the iPad doesn t have one A pity you can t use it for your exam but it made it easy for my check ride                     Best 10 bucks I have ever spent Bob 57077
I bought this app to help me with calculations that I didn t know how to do on the mechanical e6b and to cross check myself Really nice and convenient app to have for cross country planning                     Great app Anonomous123555
Really helps                     Very good SALOHIDDIN88
Utterly disappointed that the watch app does not have any enroute options Can not select any planning or enroute to put on my watch Waste of 10 00 There are free EB6 flight computers all over the place I made an assumption that for 10 I would get something for the watch useful for in flight purpose Every single option the 9 have to be calculated on the ground     Apple Watch App Disappoiment TonyAviator-=S=-
This app does everything it says it does It has not given me any problems Best 10 I have ever spent                     Worth it Luke7203
I love the iPhone app and use it as my primary e6b Yesterday I got the Apple Watch and was excited to be able to use functions there instead of having to break out the phone NOPE The only thing the watch app does is conversions When I m flying I don t need to convert avgas gallons to pounds I need to be able to calculate heading distance and fuel burn to my divert location Soooo disappointed that the Functions were left out of the watch app             Good phone app but watch app is useless Lionflower
Way better than other e6b options My one gripe and feature request is that the Next Previous and tapping an entry field select the full value so I can enter a replacement on the keyboard without hitting the C button every time to clear since flight planning involves keeping some values the same while changing others for similar calculations                 Solid easy dotnettrashman
As the title says the app will not load at all I have tried at least a dozen times to use it but have never been able to     Doesn t Load Mgfcgsgdvfxgcdgxd
The basic calculator on both the iPhone and iPad version drives me nuts Some keys number keys as well as the arithmetic keys won t work sometimes I find myself repeating basic problems over and over Other calculator apps on these platforms work fine so I know it s not an operator issue UPDATE THE CALCULATOR IS STILL CRAP     Flight functions work well but HDucker
Although this was made to help real world pilots I ve found it increases my enjoyment of flight sim aircraft a lot as well The descent functions alone are well worth the cost for me I don t even really pay attention the FMS suggested VNAV anymore on one of my aircraft this is more accurate Im very happy thanks a lot                     Fantastic for sim pilots too lowew79
Please update this app do that it s optimized for iPhone 6 screen with landscape mode         Needs update for iPhone 6 netsurfr1
The clock widget has three clocks that all show the same time they are labeled to show Zulu local and home Correction I m an idiot Fixed under the main settings page                 Clock inop Zach Golden
An instructor recommended this to me to save time on flight plans While you still need to know how to use the old fashioned E6B this is such a great tool to have at your disposal It is simple to use and so far has been accurate I so learning about all it s features but so far it s great                 Great for flight planning Julia Hoylman
If you are looking for an app to perform weight and balance calculations to see if you are within your safe flight envelope don t buy this product There is no graphical presentation provided All is does is compute total moment     W B Function Useless Bob 1950
I guess the e6b in itself is ok But in the cockpit I need much bigger buttons and fonts             I can t read the small letters in the cockpit Deriet
I m pretty disappointed with this calculator It does not live up to it s Hype of providing the calculations you can expect on theFAA Knowledge Test It does not address Corrected Altitude Off Course Correction Determining Magnetic Heading and Groundspeed or Determining Wind Direction and Speed It seems to me this could be easily fixed but it is not in the current App You ll still need to carry your cardboard Flight Computer with all the confusing methods of determining the aforementioned computations             Sporty s E6B Vocabulary123
I noticed that they updated the weight and balance section of the app to allow pilots to enter additional stations for passengers and or cargo I submitted that suggestion less than a month ago I have no idea if anyone else brought it to your attention but I ll claim the responsibility for having done so Way to go Sporty s Clearly you take customer concerns as seriously as you take the rest of the aviation industry Congratulations                     OUTSTANDING RESPONSE TO CUSTOMERS Fling Wing
EXCELLENT APP But it would be valuable to have a true altitude function I e low temperature altitude corrections Most newer FMS s provide this but it would be handy to have it here like it is on the old Whizz Wheels                     Sporty s E6B Geo Clock
It s great that all these features are in one app but the user friendliness and intuitiveness is from the 1990 s         Mediocre at best solana9
Nice app with some room for improvement Landing CG calculation is is wrong It seems that moment for the burned fuel is not subtracted from the takeoff moment so the calculated landing CG is way off Also entering the arm for the burned fuel seems redundant Ability to enter CG Weight safe operating corners into the aircraft profiles would have been a neat feature currently the app only tells you if the weight limit is exceeded but not the CG limit                 Weight Balance needs some work PA28161
Problem New version does not save aircraft profile for weight and balance Please fix asap     Weight balance Kurt4891
One of the other reviews stated that you can t add additional rows arms in the weight and balance calculator that is not correct Just under the the Baggage 2 row is a large Add New Station button which allows you to add as many rows or additional locations as you d like The Edit button at the top right of the screen then allows you to change the description of the location to whatever you d like                     Weight and Balance calculator BickleFlight
Very professional It s now a must have app                     Outstanding update flitetym
The layout does not utilize all the screen real estate Many of the buttons could be made bigger for easier access Also the regular calculator function should be larger This would help with hitting the correct button The functions work great but it is very difficult to use             Poor layout hinders awesome functions Word master5
Just downloaded that last night Student pilot who s doing his xc s really came in great during the flight planning AND in the plane during the approaches I needed to recalculate the crosswinds quickly was on downwind since the winds were shifting and I have 7 Kt x wind limit Entered a few numbers and was able to request another runway just in time I haven t had a change to explore all if the other functions but so far I d recommend it                     Great for quick calcs for shifting winds Ilsrwy27r
When are they going to have an iPhone 5 update Also weight and balance for multiple aircraft Every time I fly a new aircraft I need to re enter the weight and balance data Also need iCloud support so any time I update my phone I do not nee to start from scratch         iPhone 5 UPDATE stephendjohnson
Use native keyboard to input numbers instead of the stupid sportys custom keypad Interface needs to be way cleaner ugly as hell Functionally it works ok if you pop a few Xanax         Needs iPhone 5 support cberau
Need iPhone 5 support                 Need iPhone 5 support Garrett19942016
The setting of the initial value on the countdown timer has some problems the picker doesn t respond to scrolling properly Also when you reset the countdown timer instead of resetting to the initial value as for timing an approach it uselessly resets to zero The keypad seems slow to respond to taps unlike the built in Apple keypad There is no audible feedback                 Count down timer is poorly implemented LEK2
Very easy to input the wrong data due to not clear and cumbersome input method Found a couple of 0 99 apps that are MUCH better For those used to the old electronic calculator style it is good but this is iOS Sporty s can do much better     Outdated and Dangerous Fun sapian
Nice App Only things I would like to see would be an enter and Conv button on the keypad like on the electronic E6B Weight and balance entry needs reworked Is a hassle to enter the way it is set up now Would also be nice to have a conversion button and pop up window to convert any window or result without having to re enter in the conversion side of the app Would also like to have the same screen view in landscape or portrait             Nice App Flying W
Do not wast your money on this app It has no help page and I have still not figured our how to do a weight balance Buy a hand held E6B It is much better than this one It is pretty useless to me I want my money back     A wast of money Kayaker 3
It should have an option to prevent the auto lock feature from kicking in like in ForeFlight It s just not a smart design to have the timer feature which doesn t involve screen interaction allowing the screen to go blank Fix that and I ll adjust my rating             Needs to be able to stay on ImUrPropofol
Does what it says Should be a 5 dollar app                 Price Mferjones
It s the easiest and best e6b I ve ever used Plus it s the fraction of the cost of any other electronic flight computer The only problem is that you are not allowed to use it for the FAA knowledge tests                     Great app Zachzachzachzach
saves me a whole lot of time for crosscountry planning                 Good App Mr.Juanderful
Great app works well I like the timer and calculator function too Only reason why I gave it 4 stars is there is a disclaimer on it that says not to be used for navigation What s up with that Why else would we use it                 Great app 5515425
Easy to use and my examiner allowed me use it on my checkride                 Well Worth It iPod-Pilot
Excellent app                     Mr Fireworksbill
As a student pilot this app considerably cuts down on planning for a trip It instantly gives you the wind correction angle ground speed and the times enroute Love it                     Great app ppdk103
I bought another less expensive E6B application after reading some of the reviews here and there As a student pilot I m using the electronic E6B only to double check my work on the mechanical version After downloading the other application and cross checking my work I found that the cheaper E6B application was getting stuff wrong or I was always wrong In an effort to triple check I spent the money on the Sporty s application Boy was I relieved when all my mechanical calculations matched up exactly with the Sporty s application The only reason I knocked off the last star and gave it a 4 rating is the constant Sporty s banner on top I know where I got it I ll tell other pilots about it please get rid of that banner and make everything else a little bigger If you need to keep reminding me its a Sporty s application flash it on start up or something As somebody who incorrectly went cheaper the first time I ve learned from my mistake and you can too Get this application first                 Overall Great ARFF Pilot
This is a very good app easy to use and very helpful 10 is a bit to much though also please add a Knots to MPH conversion because when my passengers ask how many miles per hour we are going I will be able to tell them So please update that please since I payed 10 for this Thanks                 Good job Natwestkid
Simple and gets the job done                 Willy Golfnovembercharly
Love your app but would like to see the ability to x time expressed and entered hrs min sec The old avstar did this and was a useful function I imagine it would be easy to add to your efb app              Time

The iPad version is everything I hoped for and more An outstanding job Except for the exam and emergencies I will retire the excellent Sportys electronic calculator and the mechanical E6B is now scrap metal except for check rides                 Wonderful app

this app will not work with 2nd gen ipods even if you have iOS 313 or greater I have 421     be carefull
Universal iPhone and iPAD apps is great The User Interface is clean and clear compared to other E6B Ive purchased for iOS No time calculations function compared to other iOS App I have It think many user has mentioned this in various reviews If the functions menu can be viewed in portrait view on iPAD as the landscape view on iPAD then it will improve the ease of use in flight when iPAD is a kneeboard           Good app but missing couple of features
This is a very good app easy to use and very helpful 10 is a bit to much though also please add a Knots to MPH conversion because when my passengers ask how many miles per hour we are going I will be able to tell them So please update that please since I payed 10 for this Thanks              Good job
Hi Great app with most things present for the user However there are some deficiencies There is no conversion for inches of mercury to hPa and thus calculations in countries where QNH is in hPa are not possible A way to set pressure on locale ie HPa or mmHg would be great Thanks Andrew           Great but need more conversions and international validity
I have the Sportys electronic E6B in addition to the IPAD version The one feature I really miss is the ability to do time math in HHMMSS format There is a calculator provided in the IPAD app which might benefit from bigger buttons and maybe a key could be added there with the associated logic to handle it This feature is the one thing that keeps me carrying my electronic E6B in my flight bag as opposed to just using the IPAD version I realize of course that converting HHMMSS to decimal time isnt rocket science it is just a very handy time saver              Greatbut needs time math
Do not wast your money on this app It has no help page and I have still not figured our how to do a weight balance Buy a hand held E6B It is much better than this one It is pretty useless to me I want my money back     A wast of money
Seems nice Good interface If you are playing with the Mach number function the temperature requested is indicated air temperature which is the total or stagnation temperature not outside air temperature GIGO              Decent app
Im pretty disappointed with this calculator It does not live up to its Hype of providing the calculations you can expect on theFAA Knowledge Test It does not address Corrected Altitude Off Course Correction Determining Magnetic Heading and Groundspeed or Determining Wind Direction and Speed It seems to me this could be easily fixed but it is not in the current App Youll still need to carry your cardboard Flight Computer with all the confusing methods of determining the aforementioned computations           Sportys E6B

Excellent app                 Mr
The best thing about this app is that it looks great lots of calculations and easy navigation And the final calculations automatically update when an input is changed However the buttons numberssymbols are way too small There is a lot of wasted space amongst other things a big sportys logo at the top They could definitely fix this It is especially apparent in the calculator micro buttons compared to iPhone calculator This is such a small issue and i know that sportys has the resources to fix it However it doesnt seem like they are updating this app with new features Not cool at all for a 10 app No updates is why I give this 3 stars A lot of other reviewers have important ideas and fixes as well that should be addressed This app might just be deadno real updates           Great design and calculations but lacking in other areas
The app has a lot of features but it is ridiculous that you cant save any of your data if you switch to another part of the app it seems like it would be so easy to save an aircraft profile so that when it comes time to calculate weight and balance all you have to do is update the aspects that have changes eg useful load     Cant save data
The basic calculator on both the iPhone and iPad version drives me nuts Some keys number keys as well as the arithmetic keys wont work sometimes I find myself repeating basic problems over and over Other calculator apps on these platforms work fine so I know its not an operator issue        Flight functions work well but
The layout does not utilize all the screen real estate Many of the buttons could be made bigger for easier access Also the regular calculator function should be larger This would help with hitting the correct button The functions work great but it is very difficult to use           Poor layout hinders awesome functions
So far I like this app I would like to see a few tweaks such as combining imperial metric measurements ex Jet A pounds gallonsliters all on one page This would help those of us operating outside the US              good app needs a few tweaks
It should have an option to prevent the autolock feature from kicking in like in ForeFlight Its just not a smart design to have the timer feature which doesnt involve screen interaction allowing the screen to go blank Fix that and Ill adjust my rating           Needs to be able to stay on
When are they going to have an iPhone 5 update Also weight and balance for multiple aircraft Every time I fly a new aircraft I need to reenter the weight and balance data Also need iCloud support so any time I update my phone I do not nee to start from scratch        iPhone 5 UPDATE
