ForeFlight Checklist Pro for iPhone App Reviews

Good but editing is terrible

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.

Awesome app!

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 either...small 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 app...Im glad I didnt listen. I think it is a great app and will only get better.

Where is the IPad APP

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

The poor forgotten app from team Foreflight

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

iPad please

Nice app, really really really needs iPad version

Needs IPad Version

Ok app but needs IPAD VERSION!

Ok no iPad version. Expensive

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.

Kind of sad

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 up-and-comer 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.

CFI-I and AME

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.

Bought it never use it

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 pre-shared 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...

Wheres the iPad?

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!

IPAD!

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!

Should be better

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).

Use It Every Flight

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 iPad/iPhone 6/6+ 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.

Oh jeez, ...just buy it already!

I tried the "free with in-app 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.

Feature Poor

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.

Pays for itself in saved time

One of my worst flaws, is going though a checklist with my finger, losing my place, and having to figure out where I was. That made me very slow in my run-up checklist. This App completely fixes that. My gas savings alone should pay for the App in a short time.

Great concept, but needs big update!!

This would be very helpful but the app is outdated. The checklists are not current for the Cirrus SR22 G5 (latest models). Should also be integrated with Foreflight mobile app on iPad and iPhone for simplicity during flight. Please update this Foreflight! :)

Awesome app, Awesome support!

I love the app and heard many great things about their support team. I put them to the test and was blown away on how fast their response was! Part of the reason I buy Applecare with my Apple products is because of the great tech support and the hardware extended warranty is just a plus. It’s all about great tech support and ForeFlight nails it!
