Latest reviews of ZephyrCharts app for iPhone and iPad
Its a cheap streetmap in bad resolution. No VORs no NDBs. Useless
downloading the wrong files is expensive. You never know what area you receive exactly
In-app purchases are available to upgrade the app, but they ARE upgrades. The app, as is, is fantastic. Totally comprehensive and user friendly. Accurate and with a wide range of maps. The downsides are few and far between and likely to be ironed out in future revisions: The list of airports is narrower than need be. For example, Oshawa Airport is not listed in Ontario. However, the search option automatically brings up airports near you, so Oshawa comes up anyway. Itd be nice to see these inconsistencies fixed. Itd be nice to add airport and route favourites. Let me add CYOO, CNF4, CYYZ and others to my faves to quickly refer to. Same for routes I use often, like CNU4 to CYOO, and others. If such an option already exists, its not readily apparent. I really look forward to seeing this app improve.
Works well in the US-- Where are the canadian maps? Needs a basic GPS like menue with tracks etc
Must have for all iPhone carrying pilots.
