Reviews for DroidEFB: EFB for Pilots (US)

It's not foreflight, but definitely the best EFB for Android. Love the breadcrumbs feature but doesn't always save them. Can always be improved and Geo-reference on approach plates would be nice.

This has been the best experience I've had with an EFB app. It's a very smooth interface, great features. One odd thing that might just be my device, but the app doesn't exit, it keeps running until I restart my device. I'd love to see the ability to track my currency and log book in the app.

Started using this app on my sampsung tablet and Android phone. Works great for what I do. I use it for my gps during flight, it has all the info I need except for up to date weather because I don't have service.

I have been a DroidEFB user for 2 years. I find DroidEFB easy to use. You can easily use it for basic VFR navigation, but it offers much more sophistication. Updates to maps and the database are painless. I highly recommend!

Overall a very good app. I use it for VFR flights. Many long cross countries. Some things I would like to see are: -Improved logbook capabilities. -Voice warning (Bluetooth) for ADSB traffic, my #1 priority. -Lat and Long points seem to suffer heavy rounding, can this be improved? -Specific to my needs- a large format continuous Time to Target count down display option. I conduct formation flyovers at sporting events, funerals, etc. Timing is often based off the National Anthem or Taps. I.E once the anthem starts I need to be overhead in 1 minute and 55 seconds. A large easy to read time display with time from present position to the next waypoint would be very useful. -Rubber banding capability I plan to keep using this app. I look forward to improvements that make it even better.

I have used this app for almost 10 year and have had a good experience. I recently experienced an issue accessing the app. I have sent two emails on "contact us" from your webpage and have not received a response. This is disappointing!

Convenient, user-friendly, intuitive UI. Many useful features at your finger tips - for VFR in particular. Reasonable pricing. Have been asking for individual Low Altitude chats to be individually display-able rather than mesh only, due to some info being difficult or impossible to read on the chart. Would be perfect if the IFR low altitude charts mesh as well as the VFR Sectionals do... Updates are pretty regular otherwise. Definitely an EFB worthy of your consideration!

Trying to get someone's attention at DroidEFB. Help please. Longtime basic subscriber. Sent an email 2/28 & then on 3/3, wanting to change to CFI/Premium. No response. Subscription auto renewed on 3/3 so I canceled within 48 hrs. Still shows renewed. Finally received response 3/7 but no help & issue still not resolved. I want to cancel basic subscription & upgrade to CFI/Premium for the additional $. No one seems to want the extra few $.

I have subscribed to this app for several years and it is probably the best Android electronic flight bag I have found. It is a little quirky but once you get used to it, it seems to works well. There always seems to be a workaround to get something done. Support usually gets back in touch with you in a reasonable amount of time.

Fantastic APP and best I've used for Android. I have no complaints at all. I use an older Qstarz BT GPS and it hooks up immediately with the APP and accurate. I'm not an iPad fan and was really hoping to find something like this for my Samsung A8. Keep developing please! I'll be subscribing at the end of trial without question.

It's great. Not for those new to aviation (unless you actually study)Wont hold your hand like FF. Update 07-21 This really is my go to efb. More accessible then FF, use my 200 dollar wifi Droid tablet off line and still have full gps use vs 600 10in wifi iPad that won't track. Plus veteran discount, cool. Very very good app. Reviewed while using for my comm and instrument annual rechecks.

This is a robust and reliable solution for Android, and runs well on my Samsung tablet as a dedicated EFB. I recommend it to students as an alternative to IPADs. I'm a professional pilot and use this for both personal and commercial flying when not with a company IPAD. Its straightforward and intuitive to operate and permits primary navigation without working very hard at it, a very important feature when you have to operate multiple aircraft with different FMSs and EFBs. I don't really care about 'value-added' features like weight and balance, aircraft profiles, GPS geo-referencing, etc. on an EFB, I just want it to have current charts and always work the way I do, which it does. I would like to see international chart options or at least Canadian charts in addition to US charts.

I just used this app last weekend and it worked great. Easy to use. I used a Samsung Tab E and a Stratus ADSB in unit. It was no problem pairing them together. Got the basic app for free due to being an active CFI. Excellent combo and since all my hardware is non apple the easiest way to go. I would recommend this app for aircraft navigation.

Overall this is a very good app for navigation and flight planning. However, I would like to see the addition of a base map that would make it easier to see ADS-B traffic. I would also like the option to set larger fonts for traffic. Visibility of traffic on a busy sectional is cumbersome. I would also like to see an interface with Garmin Flightstream, although I imagine that Garmin may not license such a feature.

I'm using the basic program (not the premium with the wx.) I'm an android only person, and wanted something that was cheaper then Garmin. I used Garmin during it's free trial period and once It expired I switched to this. This has everything I need for my general aviation needs as I get my Fixed Wing add on ratings. (I'm a prior Heli guy). I used it right off my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 with the internal GPS. This has worked perfect for my needs and the subscription price is much better then the alternatives. Droid EFB is a great program, and the developer has responded to my questions too. Note* I also tried wing X Pro for android. That was a BIG Disappointment, it works great for the Apple products, but they removed most of the features you need for the android. Do not use Wing X pro for android!

I downloaded this to try as an alternative to Foreflight (because I have an Android phone). It looked promising until I noticed that it installed 4 different apps, but most of all, about 100(!) beeps and vibrations on my phone while downloading databases and during the first simple flight planning. Drove me nuts and I had to uninstall. Just not workable during a trail to receive about 100 beeps, messages, etc. Too bad, very unfortunate. It looked promising.

Excellent tool for preflight planning and during flight!

UPDATE 2/29/20: Returning to aviation after a 12 year hiatus, I found that this has all the stuff I used to need a flight bag full of charts and gear for. Although operation is fairly intuitive, a better tutorial laying out the finer points would have improved my learning curve. Very slow (∼3 wks) responding to my claim for an advertised discount on a subscription, and my free trial expired, but ultimately they refunded the difference. Other reviewers report better response times from Support.

Edit: Thanks for the quick reply! I had confused "Max Zero Fuel weight" with "Hull weight" as I haven't ever heard it called that before. Leaving one start off for a bit of clumsiness in the UI, but maybe I'll get used to it as I go. Otherwise it's looking like it has some potential! Original post: First thing I tried was the weight and balance screen and i was unable to get it to work. just keeps saying my gross weight is -1.

Been using this app for years and it's a great replacement for those who don't have Apple. however it's become borderline useless. It asks me to login EVERY time I open the app or lose Internet connection. I always thought it was extremely excessive asking every day before, but now I can't even use it while flying. I'll often need to log in multiple times in one flight due to lost cell service while aloft. This app would easily be 5 stars if I only had to log in once and it never asked again.
