FAR/AIM App Reviews

Only slightly better than pdf version

Bookmarking feature lacking or not intuitive. Highlighting is incredibly hard to do in this app because its not built in

Like it

This app is awesome it better then carrying big blue book and it stay current with all the FAA regulations

Very good

Consider this the “default” application for every level of aviator. My only wish is for it to have the ability to adjust the fontsize (not just pinch to zoom). If youre in the business of flying, you need this app.

Far too small to read

Its easy enough to use, but I can see no way to change the font to make it larger. It uses tiny print that I could read back in my 20s and 30s, but at 55 years old with ~ 20/40 vision (uncorrected), I cant easily read it even with my prescription glasses without getting a headache. I do NOT recommend this if you wear glasses. They need an option to change the font size. Im sure I would be UNABLE to read it in flight.

Need a Bookmark Feature!!!

Its a great app and I reference it all the time for flight training, but needs a Bookmark feature!!

Part 25 is back!

Originally different FARs were missing. Current version has all regs included, and the app works great. Excellent search function!

Great app. however

Would like the ability to highlight words to enhance study time.

Great App except...

This app is very organized and this best FAR/AIM app by far except for its lack of a highlighter function. If a highlighter function was added I would give it 5 stars

Good app

Good app. Missing highlighter function! Also 2013 hasnt been updated yet...?!?

Good App

Its a good app with what you need for reference. However, as of now, I would use this for reference use only. Aviation requires in-date info, and until I see an update, this is a reference tool only. ASA is not living up to its name here. Update!!!

Pilot

Needs updates and it would be nice with a bookmarking, and highlighting tabs

Good but looking for improvements/updates

Great search function. I love the ability to search for a specific keyword but I was hoping there would be improvements to the app by now. Same interface, no improvements, and there needs to be an update. There has been two aim updates so far this year and these have yet to be incorporated into this app.

What is wrong with the developers?

New update came out, great... Theyre still expired! "Current through march 15, 2013"

Needs more...

This app is a great tool for reading/reviewing the FAR/AIM. The search function is very easy to use, but you have to know how something is phrased exactly in the FAR/AIM in order to find it. Unfortunately one does not have the option to bookmark or highlight text within the app. You can copy parts of the text, but it is a pain to do so. Additionally, as the FARs are updated, this app is slow to reflect those changes and updates. Overall, it is a good app, but it would be even better with highlighting and bookmarking options.

Could be good

This app is useful for looking up a reg using the search tool. It could be a great app for students with highlighting, a bit of formatting to indent subsections, and a page to show the changes when it is updated. I find it updates quick enough, but its hard to know what changed. If they put a bit of work into it Id recommend it to any of my students, but as of now, not so much.

Sharing

Great app. I agree with others about updates but overall a good app. I would, however, like to be able to highlight a section to email or share with people. As a flight instructor I get asked plenty of regulation questions and it would be nice to be able to email a section to a student.

Expired. Do not buy!

Current through March 2013. Great. Now I have to go back to the 19th century and carry a 7lb book for my check flight. Disappointing.

Improvements wanted

This is a great quick reference app and I use all the time. However, I would like to be able to highlight in the document to make future references easier. Also, it should include Part 93!

It has potential to be better

I love the fact that I dont have carry around that giant book, but I can not highlight sections, or bookmark pages for easy reference later, when we are searching you need to know the exact phrase in order or else you turn up nothing. The updates on the FAR need to be more often and I need to be able to see what updates have been done in the app. If this is done you guys get five stars and all of my students would be advised to have this as well.

Like the App ~ but needs some additional features

I like the app and installed and works well on both the i-pad and i-phone5. The idea of receiving the updates is excellent and is much better than carrying around the thick book. The one feature missing is the ability to highlight and bookmark specific sections. Please add a favorite option.
