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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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! […]

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 […]
