ForeFlight Checklist Pro for iPhone App Reviews

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 e-mail/share 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 2-3 hours getting my checklists just right online, they are stuck there and totally useless. E-mailed 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 iPad/web sync. Apparently the login name/e-mail 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.

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 upside-down. 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.

I bought Aircheck first, but compared to Foreflight, Aircheck is a waste of money and time. Editing is much easier with Foreflight...dont 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.

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

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 echo...need an iPad version.

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

Only 3 stars due to the fact that there is not an iPad version.

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

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.

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.

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 five-star app. I encourage everyone to provide feedback to ForeFlight to urge them to make these improvements.

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!

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 multi-engine 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.

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.

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.

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.

I use it on every flight. Just wish it had an iPad version.

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!

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 size/format paper checklists

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.
