NOTAMs app good for
Could it be possible to add a cruising level filter to reduce the number of NOTAMs enroute, and also a runway length filter, to show airfields with only the minimum wanted length.
This app was really missing in my iPhone! Thanks, worth it big time.
Previous reviews mention that Canadian NOTAMs dont appear in the app, as of Feb 21, 2013 I was able to gather all the current NOTAMs for CYYC and checked them against those published by NAVCANADA, so this seems to have been resolved.
It really works great. Gives all the NOTAMs accurately. Saves a lot of research time when traveling. Wish it had definitions too, though.
Wasnt going to rate this app until it had a decode option - it was really pretty nice without it, but now its worth every penny. f youre a pilot, especially instrument, buy this app.
Great app, very useful. BUT it would be better if you could enter multiple destinations and alternates for over seas flights. I.e. Re-release flight plans and etp or etops alternates.
Some bad moments
Since three month ago the download does not function anymore or takes way to long. I already complained in November about it. Dont buy this App!
There isnt any support at all!
This app claims its capable of attaining NOTAMs worldwide but it doesnt. At least it doesnt collect all NOTAMs from Canada. It will display major airports like Toronto, Ottawa, Vancouver etc..but it wont show NOTAMs for Kitchener or Dryden etc. This app gets their NOTAMs from the FAAs notam database. I queried their site also and it didnt come up with the NOTAMs for various fields in Canada. However, Navcanada listed numerous NOTAMs for every field.
If you fly to smaller airports in Canada and are thinking of purchasing this app, keep looking as this one doesnt do what they says it does.
To the user "Steve Tsuida", try a small airport instead of Calgary and youll find that it wont show the NOTAMs. I read your review and thought Id take a look myself…..no change.
Some NOTAMs are missed. For ex. it says "2 active NOTAMs" for airport inserted but actually 6 from trusted sources. Waste of money.
I can download NOTAMs for free on numerous websites. I thought I was paying for decoded NOTAMs. Absolutely not worth the money.
Why is now asking me which subscription Id like to purchase?!
Not worth the price. Clunky dated interface. Non intuitive format. Minimal information.
