ForeFlight Checklist Pro for iPhone App Reviews

Support does not answer. The benefit of this PRO App ist the syncing tool. But the server login always fails. The forwarding via Email also does not work. testet on 3 different iOS devices with different internet connections!

best app available - no doubt!

I have tried a few other apps, some you have to design yourself on the web or desktop then sync onto your itouch... others cannot be modified to your specific needs... I like the idead of being able to modify directly on the itouch. I also like the user friendly interface allowing you with a quick glance to see whats done. well done software, well worth the price. Tx and fly safe!

Works great and as stated. Would love to see the option of printing lists (as backup) in future updates.

Having purchased foreflight pro, I figured this app would complement nicely. But, for 20 bucks, I believe the app community expects more effort on the developers part, hence my 2 star rating. The functionality is there although a bit heavy with the strings of "folders" you need to tap through to get to a specific phase of flight. This app falls victim to the idea that it would be used on the iPhone and so the resolution when used on an ipad retina at "2X" is pretty fuzzy (most foreflight users use iPads?!). Surprising to see this level of laziness on foreflights team. I would have paid no more than $FR.EE for this app with this limitation! Also, would be nice if it was integrated into the foreflight pro app, just makes sense! Hoping my hasty purchase will be remedied with an update soon!

It does everything I want. I actually like the different folder levels. It helps keep things properly organized. Its nice that each level can be customized, unlike other checklist apps Ive tried. I particularly like the green completion meter for each list and the intentional skip button. My POH has a number of items that only need to be completed on the first flight of the day. It would be nice to have an update to take advantage of the larger iPhone 6 and 6+ screen sizes. An iPad version would be awesome as well. Yes, I find the app to be a bit pricey, but overall I think its worth it.

Just created two checklists, the online editing program is useless using my iPad Air, but think this will be great with my iPhone and yoke mount. Will check back in after I try it

maybe it’s just me, but I can’t log in to my account I’ve had for a few years, and on the website when trying to Reset password there is a “server error, please report to administrator” Well, this is me trying to report to administrator.

Very nice simple app that Foreflight developers have apparently forgotten about. Would be a welcome addition to Foreflight Mobile. Save my MFD for situational awareness

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.

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!

Fantastic check-listing application that works great in the cockpit. The web interface provides a simple interface for creating and/or sharing checklist databases. The only feature that I wish it had was shake to check.

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. :-)

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.

I bought this to use with a C-172R. 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.

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.

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

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.

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 don’t 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 pre-solo 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 (pre-flight, before takeoff, in flight, securing). I found that as I checked off items in my pre-flight, 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 in-app purchase

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!
