Sporty's E6B Flight Computer App Description & Overview

What is sporty's e6b flight computer app? Based on Sporty’s popular handheld E6B Electronic Flight Computer, the E6B app has been designed from the ground up to make the most of iOS on the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, and MacOS on Apple Computers. The software is based on the tried and true formulas and algorithms developed over the years by Sporty’s team of over 50 pilots.

Its pilot-friendly design makes quick work of any navigational, conversion or fuel problem and it also performs conventional arithmetic calculations.

The advanced timer/clock feature simultaneously tracks Zulu, Local and Home time zones. The timer counts either up or down, and will display an alert when reaching zero.

Apple Watch display needs improvement. I had hoped to use the Apple Watch app, but the display only shows the top half of the numbers. Perhaps this is because I have the original Apple Watch? I also find the process of entering numbers to be cumbersome. If I click on an item to change the value, I first have to backspace out the current value before entering the new value. I’d prefer that it just let me start typing the number right away instead of going through those extra steps. But I’m happy that this app is available. I haven’t used it much yet, but I’m sure it will be useful.

Weight & Balance. As others have said, very disappointed that W&B does not yet exist in the new version. As a manager of an app development company, I recognize there are difficult decisions that have to be made when doing a rewrite of an existing app. Do we delay the release to get all the previous functions in the new app or do we release earlier and progressively add back the remaining functionality? But you have to recognize that when you remove a core function that is typically used in all flight planning, it is going to cause significant heartburn for existing users. The decision maker in this case clearly chose incorrectly. The best course of action is to recognize and acknowledge the mistake, and work as diligently as possible to correct it. The worst course of action would be to remain radio silent.

Heading and groundspeed not working?. I deleted the app and reinstalled it to see if that would help. I enter the data but it produces nothing but zeros on the right side. This is a new issue. I hadn't previously had this issue seen it until about a week ago.

Brief Review. Great app. Provides all the tools to accurately plan. Thanks!

Magnetic variation?. App could be tweaked by adding a magnetic variation input field, for calculating heading and GS. Where I operate from, it’s 16 degrees. I need to manually subtract that for every calculation to get compass heading.

Weight & Balance needs some work. Nice app with some room for improvement. Landing CG calculation is is wrong. It seems that moment for the burned fuel is not subtracted from the takeoff moment, so the calculated landing CG is way off. Also, entering the arm for the burned fuel seems redundant. Ability to enter CG/Weight safe operating corners into the aircraft profiles would have been a neat feature. currently the app only tells you if the weight limit is exceeded, but not the CG limit.

Great function, small bugs. While completing some tasks it gives the correct answer without hitting the “=“ key. Which is handy, however, when hitting the “=“ key the app fails and kicks you out. Other than that it’s a great resource.

Very useful. Useful for aviation related questions. Also useful for many technical non aviation questions.

Overall Great. I bought another less expensive E6B application after reading some of the reviews here, and there. As a student pilot I'm using the electronic E6B only to double check my work on the mechanical version. After downloading the other application and cross checking my work I found that the cheaper E6B application was getting stuff wrong (or I was always wrong)! In an effort to triple check, I spent the money on the Sporty's application. Boy was I relieved when all my mechanical calculations matched up exactly with the Sporty's application. The only reason I knocked off the last star, and gave it a 4 rating, is the constant Sporty's banner on top. I know where I got it, I'll tell other pilots about it, please get rid of that banner and make everything else a little bigger. If you need to keep reminding me its a Sporty's application flash it on start up or something. As somebody who incorrectly went cheaper the first time, I've learned from my mistake and you can too... Get this application first.

Great for quick calcs for shifting winds!. Just downloaded that last night. Student pilot who's doing his xc's. really came in great during the flight planning AND in the plane during the approaches. I needed to recalculate the crosswinds quickly (was on downwind) since the winds were shifting and I have 7 Kt x-wind limit. Entered a few numbers and was able to request another runway just in time :-). I haven't had a change to explore all if the other functions, but so far, I'd recommend it!

Fantastic. Best app for preflight, and inflight calculations/conversions!

Excellent resource. Great calculator/app. Use it all the time. Very user friendly!!

E-6B. Don’t use the app very much, but when I do it’s invaluable. Quick and easy and always at you fingertips.

Keyboard doesn’t work. App will not allow me to enter anything from keyboard even after following steps to fix issue.

Unable to type on iPad. Great functionality, but can’t type anything on iPad. Works fine on iPhone, but I need this in the cockpit too. I’m aware of the floating keyboard issue, and have followed all recommended fixes. It seems like the app just can’t detect the keyboard configuration, even when it is fixed in the other apps. May have to switch to another app if there isn’t a good fix for this. Will amend review when/if fixed.

Good phone app but watch app is useless. I love the iPhone app and use it as my primary e6b. Yesterday I got the Apple Watch and was excited to be able to use functions there instead of having to break out the phone. NOPE. The only thing the watch app does is conversions. When I'm flying, I don't need to convert avgas gallons to pounds, I need to be able to calculate heading, distance, and fuel burn to my divert location! Soooo disappointed that the Functions were left out of the watch app.

Requires full size keyboard on iPad. If you're considering this app for your iPad, look elsewhere. How long are they going to take to support the small size keyboard on ipad? All the other positives are moot with this app until they fix this. I never use the full size keyboard on iPad which makes using this app a total pain. Extra frustrating as a paid subscriber.

Beautiful app. Does what it says on the tin. Nice to have an electronic E6B on the phone, and it's Spirty's so it is good!

..:. What kind of E6B app doesn’t have Weights and Balance!? This one. Unless you plug in a profile for a specific aircraft. Glad I wasted money on this app and it doesn’t have basic features.

You guys are awesome. Your so cool you make school fun

Pressure density calculations are wrong. I was following the sportys ground school entered the same values and the output from app was over 20ft off from value shown on video. Not reliable wouldn’t trust this app.

Great app….. All the necessary functions and more!!! My only complaint in the W/B section is that you can’t change the units from lbs to kg. You have to calculate everything in lbs and then convert them to kgs…. An oversight? (Not everyone works in lbs and gallons)

Wonderful App! Please add one feature. Calculating time.. This app makes it a lot easier to just fly with your iPad and iPhone. Would you please consider adding the capability to calculate time like on your electronic E6B?

Amazing app, covers everything fast, reduces need for spending time with the E6B.. This app should cover everything you need for an E6B, but lowers the amount of time spent on calculations. Good for use on the go, or if you are in a rush.

I love this app, there is one feature that I would like to be added. The app is easy to use. The design is sharp while being simple to use. One calculation that I would recommend is add a glide path to the Top of Descent calculation. For example I would like to find how far out and what would be my FPM for a 3-degree glide path. Besides using a rule to thumb such as timing the ground speed by 5… etc. By leaving this review, I’m hoping to get the attention of the developers to add it in.

Can I have the old one back?. Updated: Not as useful. I've heard people report missing functions. In my case I had favorites, a small group of functions I actually used in flight. In its place is a list of "saved" functions. I have no idea who decided to save them for special treatment. unlike what I said in my original post, you can add and remove Saved items, I guess I was expecting to be able to do that from the list, like at least 90% of the other apps I use. Instead this app made a design decision to put that ability in the numeric keyboard when using a function. IOW, to remove a starred favorite, you don't just swipe it away or un-star or edit the list, you have to use it to lose it.

Weight and Balance calculator. One of the other reviews stated that you can't add additional rows/arms in the weight and balance calculator -- that is not correct. Just under the the Baggage 2 row is a large 'Add New Station button', which allows you to add as many rows or additional locations as you'd like. The Edit button at the top right of the screen then allows you to change the description of the location to whatever you'd like.

BEATS USING THE MANUAL WAY. The title says it all! It has made my life just that much easier! Using ForeFlight and finding wind directions has changed my life!

Good but…. The = button on iPhone will scramble negative the number for the first tap, second tap will convert back to a close by number but not original number. I don’t know if it’s the calculation or Sporty’s ground school quiz answers are wrong. I got a different answer (off by 20 feet) when calculating density altitude. I made sure to clear all history and continue to be off of the quiz answers.

Great design and calculations, but lacking in other areas. The best thing about this app is that it looks great, lots of calculations, and easy navigation. And the final calculations automatically update when an input is changed. However, the buttons (numbers/symbols) are way too small. There is a lot of wasted space (amongst other things a big sportys logo at the top). They could definitely fix this. It is especially apparent in the calculator- micro buttons compared to iPhone calculator. This is such a small issue, and i know that sportys has the resources to fix it. However, it doesn't seem like they are updating this app with new features. Not cool at all for a $10 app. No updates is why I give this 3 stars. A lot of other reviewers have important ideas and fixes as well that should be addressed. This app might just be dead(no real updates)

Old version. I actually prefer the old version before the update. There were some features on the old version, like the weight and balance, that are no longer available on this version. Those other features were very helpful.

Great product but keyboard not working on iPad 6 mini. App has been awesome until 3 months ago when the keyboard stopped working on my iPad six mini

I like Sporty’s but don’t spend on this app.. Simply put, it’s no better than some of the free E6B apps. Save your money.

Needs more watch features. Over all a great app on phone and iPad. Needs more watch features. Timer for example would be really nice. Having my favorites from my phone on my watch would be really nice as well. Even having different favorites on watch would be nice. Really hard to scroll Thru all of them and find what you want.

iPad and iPhone different. Weights and balances different on my phone vs pad. Cannot do on iPhone. Missing Ability to input informs the iPad . To some extent I like the older version. There was no carry over from the previous version.

Easy and reliable. All the features you need and a modern, clean interface. I like the ability to favorite calculations so you can quickly do the 3 or 4 you always do.

It’s handy to have.. It works nicely as a study tool for me. 👍🏼👍🏼

Great…but needs time math. I have the Sporty's electronic E6B in addition to the IPAD version. The one feature I really miss is the ability to do time math in HH:MM:SS format. There is a calculator provided in the IPAD app (which might benefit from bigger buttons), and maybe a ":" key could be added there (with the associated logic to handle it). This feature is the one thing that keeps me carrying my electronic E6B in my flight bag (as opposed to just using the IPAD version). I realize, of course, that converting HH:MM:SS to decimal time isn't rocket science, it is just a very handy time saver!

Love it. Great app! So organized and easy to use

Good but expensive. Greetings developers! As an app developer myself, I understand some of the difficulties of reworking an application. It can be a hard hit to end up with 2.5 stars for something you worked hard on (the current situation). I like the app and I also have a few suggestions. First off, make it cheaper! Do a sale! Get new users for $2 and they'll infuse new life into this. $10 isn't way too expensive normally but your rating is 2.5 and nobody wants to pay $10 for a 2.5 level app. Thankfully, your app is better than that! Get new users who will like it for the features it does have. Secondly, add weight and balance. Not hard to do, and that's your users' main concern right now. With those two changes you'll have a much better (and more profitable) app. Finally, my own suggestion: in landscape orientation, split the screen and put the calculator numbers on the right (or left) so all the content can fit without scrolling. Hope this helps, and good luck!

5 stars except for the numerical keypad. I love the app except for the size of the keypad. It only uses a third of the blue area on the bottom of the screen. Please give the option to upscale the numerical keypad to be larger, even the size of the entire blue area.

Yup. It’s everything I need

Excellent… but. Lacks the holding pattern entry calculator.

Simple and works. Nice tool to have, simple and to the point

Very HANDY!. Sporty’s makes it easy for pilots!

Sports E6B. Has at least one bug. Version 3.4.5 when finding density altitude the App fills in the answer (appears to be correct) but when the = sign is pressed an incorrect answer is displayed. I don’t trust the app. I expected more from sportys.

Great Update. Happy to see W&B

Quick and Easy. You always have it with you except during a written exam.

Easy to use. Very intuitive and user friendly interface

Unable to type on iPad. Work perfect on phone but on a iPad min 6 you can not type or enter numbers.

works for aussie pilots. In the past this did not have configurable units, now it does. I use it all the time it's great. Much faster to calculate heading/drift/gs than the old Jeppenson CR-3.

Sport’s E6B. I recently retired from flying ( but continue to fly under supervision in my later years). The development of technology allowed me to use the U6B on my iPad and phone. What a difference it made with easily accessible functions covering everything needed and useful, and being able to save ones used often. I used it all the time.

Sportys e6b. Pretty good but of limited use for most of the planet as no millibars or hPa. A huge omission.

It's a start. Good start and nice interface, easy to use. Greatly let down by lack of metric in calculation such as millibars and hpa. Also the carry over of results in calculations and conversions would be fantastic. Eg, entering gallons figure in the gallons to pounds conversion also entrees the gallons into the gallons to kg, or litres conversion, and the litres figure is also copied to conversions requiring litre figure input.

only good for US customers.. Not able to add own conversions that the rest of the World uses. Waste of money outside the US

More metric support please. How about fuel conversions in kilograms & tonnes please.

Very Easy to Use. It has every thing you need for planing your trip,easy to use works well! I like it better than iwizwheel !!

Important Conversion Functions Missing. Cannot believe that this app won't allow you to convert between JetA1 litres, pounds and kg! Similarly with Avgas conversions and many other conversion types. Incredibly, you can do all of this and much more using a basic calculator app such as PowerOneSE! In fact, PowerOneSE (& I suspect many other calculators) does a better job than Sporty's E6B in almost every calculation.

Nothing changed. Still very laggy , calculator touch button not responsive enought, TOO BASIC for that price !!!! Def. NOT worth the 10$ . Avoid it

It's lacking in significant areas. All the necessary functions are there but it's a basic no-frills E6B. One technical problem is that you often have to tap numbers a couple times to get them to register. It's frustrating. The weight & balance doesn't store the info so you have to re-enter all values from scratch each time you use it. This combined with no graph display for W&B was a BIG dissappointment and means I won't use it. Come on how much does it take for the app to store the W&B arm and moment values and last entered weights?? All functions are pure text such as W&B as well as Crosswind which is sad given the potential for an iPhone app to display information graphically. Even some of the free E6B apps have this. No weather! The free app I've previously used can pull down the latest METAR's. Remember guys you are building this app for a device that has an Internet connection! It has a calculator function but no Memory key. When was the last time you saw a calculator without a memory function? That's just silly! You also can't do time calculations ie 04:36:00 - 00:46:16 = ?? that would be really handy! I can't count the number of times I've struggled to add or subtract a series of hh:mm:ss in my head for logging purposes. Timer is just a single simple count up/down timer. No way to have an overall time, with time for the current leg. If you want to time the flight and have a hold timer ... you can't do both at the same time. The count down timer alarm will go off even if you've moved to another area of the E6B which is useful but it would be nice if the alarm provided a vibrate function because you can't hear it at all in the cockpit. It doesn't remember the last function used. Everytime you start the app it takes you to the Pressure Density Altitude function. I would expect it to either remember the last screen used, or at the very least to be able to choose my start screen through a preferences option. Is it worth $4.99, not in my opinion because you can get free or paid E6B apps that do the same things better. However this is a version 1.0 so I'm really hoping that Sporty's will improve it because it has real potential and a nicer interface than most of the others.

Needs more flexibility with Formulas!. Overall great app and ecosystem. My only criticism is that I wish there was more flexibility when it comes to formulas. What I mean is… example: for Rate of Climb calculation, I can input my ground speed and the min climb to get my required rate of climb… but I cannot get my min climb if I know my ground speed and my required rate of climb. I’d like to be able to input into that required rate of climb box but it is locked. Can you guys make it so we can input in cases like this? There’s a few different calculations that would benefit from this… Otherwise great app, and love the watch app too but same question as above!

Watch features very disappointing. I love the features available on the iphone version and assumed that I would be able to use the same ones on the watch. Only the conversion are available on the watch which is pretty useless. If they decide to add the other features to the watch then that app would get a 5 star rating easily!

More units please. Looking for calculations in kg for fuel not just pounds!

Cold weather correction. Would be nice if there’s a cold temperature correction for DA and MDA.

Hardly worth the time, let alone the cash. Too many things simply don't work properly on this app. Save your money...

Basic. It's OK but has only very basic functions. Version 2.0 looks much better than the original.

Addition please !!. On 'fuel per hour' can we have an Extra time input for. Hh. H also So we can input either type of hours.

Missing function. What happened to the weight and balance? I had all my aircraft saved and now it is missing.

Good job. This is a very good app, easy to use and very helpful. $10 is a bit to much though also please add a Knots to MPH conversion because when my passengers ask how many miles per hour we are going I will be able to tell them. So please update that please since I payed $10 for this. Thanks

Cannot be used for navigation, only as an instructional aid. Nice application and easy to use. Its the only electronic version I have, so nothing to compare it with. In the decription it does state it's not approved for FAA test. There is NOTHING that tells you the following until AFTER you purchase the program. On the "About" page, there is a banner which states: "Note: Sportys E6B is an instructional aid, and should is not to be used for navigation" Hmmm, That would have been nice to know in the description before I paid for it.

W&B feature not available. Previous version included a weight and balance feature that was great for flight planning. Text and layout too small for available space to allow use in flight. Be benefit to reinstall the W&B and change timer to facilitate holds and allow other calcs at same time.

OUTSTANDING RESPONSE TO CUSTOMERS. I noticed that they updated the weight and balance section of the app to allow pilots to enter additional stations for passengers and/or cargo. I submitted that suggestion less than a month ago!!! I have no idea if anyone else brought it to your attention, but I'll claim the responsibility for having done so :-) Way to go, Sporty's!! Clearly, you take customer concerns as seriously as you take the rest of the aviation industry. Congratulations

Can't save data. The app has a lot of features, but it is ridiculous that you can't save any of your data if you switch to another part of the app. it seems like it would be so easy to save an aircraft profile so that when it comes time to calculate weight and balance all you have to do is update the aspects that have changes, e.g. useful load.

Needs to be able to stay on. It should have an option to prevent the auto-lock feature from kicking in, like in ForeFlight. It's just not a smart design to have the timer feature, which doesn't involve screen interaction, allowing the screen to go blank. Fix that and I'll adjust my rating.

Great app. I bought this app to help me with calculations that I didn't know how to do on the mechanical e6b and to cross check myself. Really nice and convenient app to have for cross country planning.

Key Function now Missing. No weight and balance, what where you thinking that is a key function when planning. Very disappointed as I used it on every flight as a matter of fact it was really the only function I ever used. Will not be a useful tool for me until the weight and balance function is restored!

Nice app but needs a better look. Agree with other reviewers that larger text would be better. Lots of wasted space and not really attractive pages, especially on an iPad which a lot of us are using. Would be nice if the timer made a sound when count was reached.

How to get the old version back?. iTunes won’t correctly authorize my computer to let me reinstall the old version. Could Sportys PLEASE make the original version available in the app store. It looked better, easier to use, and performed E6B functions better. How can so many of us who want it, get the old version back?

Works, if the function button would stop disappearing.. On both iPads, the function button in top left is just missing. It’s there on my google phone version, but not on the iOS version. Needs to be fixed, unusable as is.

works just like the iOS version. get e6B for both Mac and iOS for one price. handy for XC planning on a big screen.

Count down timer is poorly implemented. The setting of the initial value on the countdown timer has some problems… the picker doesn't respond to scrolling properly. Also, when you reset the countdown timer, instead of resetting to the initial value (as for timing an approach), it uselessly resets to zero. The keypad seems slow to respond to taps, unlike the built-in Apple keypad. There is no audible feedback.

Jorge Morante. WOW finally a full E6B for the iPod from a respectable source. I love having my ipod for music and now for the full E6B. I'm glad I will not have to carry the older bulky electronic E6B. Now I have my music in the plane as well as the E6B. Thanks sportys.

Flight functions work well, but.... The basic calculator on both the iPhone and iPad version drives me nuts. Some keys number keys as well as the arithmetic keys won't work sometimes. I find myself repeating basic problems over and over. Other calculator apps on these platforms work fine so I know it's not an operator issue. UPDATE. THE CALCULATOR IS STILL CRAP

Great app. Great app, works well. I like the timer and calculator function too. Only reason why I gave it 4 stars is there is a disclaimer on it that says "not to be used for navigation". What's up with that? Why else would we use it?

Good app but missing couple of features. Universal iPhone and iPAD apps is great! The User Interface is clean and clear compared to other E6B I've purchased for iOS. No time calculations function compared to other iOS App I have, It think many user has mentioned this in various reviews. If the functions menu can be viewed in portrait view on iPAD as the landscape view on iPAD then it will improve the ease of use in flight when iPAD is a kneeboard.

Lacks weight & bal; Watch needs update. The app for some reason lacks weight and balance as the actual Sporty’s electronic E6B does. I was hoping it would have that feature and could even store a specific plane’s specs for easy calculations. This is truly disappointing. Also, the Apple Watch app needs severe updating.

Time. Love your app, but would like to see the ability to +,-,x time expressed and entered hrs min sec. The old avstar did this and was a useful function. I imagine it would be easy to add to your efb app.

Nice App. Nice App. Only things I would like to see would be an "enter" and "Conv" button on the keypad like on the electronic E6B. Weight and balance entry needs reworked. Is a hassle to enter the way it is set up now. Would also be nice to have a conversion button and pop up window to convert any window or result without having to re-enter in the conversion side of the app. Would also like to have the same screen view in landscape or portrait.

Version 3.0.3 Fixes All Issues. This version fixes all the major issues. The new Sporty’s E6B has finally arrived. Look forward to using it on my next trip. Thanks!

Straight Forward E6B but Apple Watch Version is inop. Good E6B on my iPhone, but the number input pad on my Apple Watch is nonresponsive in this app. I presume that will be fixed. In the meantime my iPhone is just fine.

Great, especially on ipad. The layout is great on the iPad. The way it carries results from one calculation to the next makes for an efficient workflow when pre-planning.

iPhone 5 UPDATE. When are they going to have an iPhone 5 update. Also weight and balance for multiple aircraft! Every time I fly a new aircraft I need to re-enter the weight and balance data. Also need iCloud support so any time I update my phone I do not nee to start from scratch.

Small buttons!. I wish the number pad buttons were larger - it's really easy to hit the wrong one by mistake. Also, I wish it gave the wind correction angle instead of just the final heading.

iOS 13 prevents the change of functions. Needs updated... *update to post* They fixed the problem very quickly!

Excellent! Just need complication for Apple Watch face. I use this app a lot and absolutely love that it is even useable on the Apple Watch! I just hope that eventually the developers will make it so that I will be able to add it as a complication on my “flying” watch face so that I can pop right into it quickly.

Readability!!!. I generally like the app on my iPhone 3GS. However, I find the text very small and nearly unreadable. A lot of real estate is used for the Sporty's logo that could be much better used for larger text. Also, the navigation is clunky - too many functions to scroll through to find a specific computation.

Sporty's E6B. EXCELLENT APP! But it would be valuable to have a "true altitude" function, I.e., low temperature altitude corrections. Most newer FMS's provide this, but it would be handy to have it here like it is on the old "Whizz Wheels".

Sporty's E6B. I'm pretty disappointed with this calculator. It does not live up to it's Hype of providing the calculations you can expect on theFAA Knowledge Test. It does not address 'Corrected Altitude", "Off Course Correction", "Determining Magnetic Heading and Groundspeed" or "Determining Wind Direction and Speed". It seems to me this could be easily fixed but it is not in the current App. You'll still need to carry your cardboard Flight Computer with all the confusing methods of determining the aforementioned computations.

Fantastic for sim pilots too. Although this was made to help real world pilots. I've found it increases my enjoyment of flight sim aircraft a lot as well. The descent functions alone are well worth the cost for me. I don't even really pay attention the FMS suggested VNAV anymore on one of my aircraft, this is more accurate! Im very happy, thanks a lot!

What happened to Weight and Balance?. I had the old version of this app and it included weight and balance. The newest version of the app took that feature away. That is why I’m giving it 1 star. The weight and balance feature was one of the main features I used in this app.

Good work sportys. Definitely worth it considering the actual e6b is many times more expensive and doesn't even have a gps.

Great for flight planning. An instructor recommended this to me to save time on flight plans. While you still need to know how to use the old fashioned E6B, this is such a great tool to have at your disposal. It is simple to use and so far has been accurate. I so learning about all it's features but so far, it's great.

iOS and macOS app!. Just because you made this a universal app that with one purchase I can use it on all of my devices, iPhone, iPad and Mac!! Thank you so so so much! ... and the app is also great! High five to your iOS/macOS engineers!

Solid, easy. Way better than other e6b options. My one gripe and feature request is that the Next, Previous, and tapping an entry field select the full value so I can enter a replacement on the keyboard without hitting the C button every time to clear, since flight planning involves keeping some values the same while changing others for similar calculations.

Nice, but very expensive as comparable Apps go. Your standard rip-off the rich(!?) pilots procedure turn. $9.99 for a VERY simple calculator your would be able to get for 0.99 if it weren't aimed at pilots. But, as an electronic E6B it does do the job.

The best E6B for the iPhone/iPod/iPad !. I've been waiting for this app for so long! Sportys has done it again. A product that is worth every penny you pay for. Highly recommend.

Absolutely The Best. I've bought several E6B apps and never liked one. Most won't even give you TAS fro IAS, temp and Alt, the most basic of all info from an E6B. This one does it all and carries all info from one function to the next. FABULOUS.

Poor layout hinders awesome functions. The layout does not utilize all the screen real estate. Many of the buttons could be made bigger for easier access. Also, the regular calculator function should be larger. This would help with hitting the correct button. The functions work great, but it is very difficult to use.

Tomviator. Near Perfect!!! Would have liked to see the layout like their regular e6b, but once you get used to the app layout it's just as good. My iPod is going to soon become my kneeboard! One bad thing - timers stop running when screen shuts down.

Best 10 bucks I have ever spent. I have the Sporty’s E6B calculator and the old fashion wiz wheel, this by far is so less complicated and a must for all pilots. Built in calculator as well since the iPad doesn’t have one. A pity you can’t use it for your exam but it made it easy for my check ride.

Major app update Five stars!. A lot of the reviews on Sporty’s E6B app are from the old app interface. The app had a major rewrite a few months ago and it is fantastic. I love that it sorts calculations by phases of flight to quickly find what you are looking for. I’d like to see more investment in the Apple Watch app so it is more useful and xan be retrieved easier.

Great app!!. As a student pilot, this app considerably cuts down on planning for a trip. It instantly gives you the wind correction angle, ground speed, and the times enroute. Love it!

What happened to weight and balance?. The App I bought two years ago had a very useful wight and balance function. I cannot find this function in the new, updated version. No longer a fully functional app and not what I paid for.

Worth it!!!. This app does everything it says it does. It has not given me any problems. Best $10 I have ever spent.

Great app!. It's the easiest and best e6b I've ever used. Plus it's the fraction of the cost of any other electronic flight computer. The only problem is that you are not allowed to use it for the FAA knowledge tests.

Clock inop. The clock widget has three clocks that all show the same time; they are labeled to show Zulu, local, and home. Correction....I'm an idiot. Fixed under the main settings page. :)
