Sporty's E6B Flight Computer Positive Reviews

Great function, small bugsWhile 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..NickolasnamesVersion: 3.4.5

Needs more watch featuresOver 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..JmercmonVersion: 3.2.2

5 stars except for the numerical keypadI 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..HTownEaglePhanVersion: 3.3.3

Old versionI 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..DarkKnight0618Version: 3.1

Easy and reliableAll 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..CessnaPilot987Version: 3.1

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..TrailljuanVersion: 3.4.5

Quick and EasyYou always have it with you except during a written exam..GhytfrdeguVersion: 3.3.4

Easy to useVery intuitive and user friendly interface.PendarrrrrrVersion: 3.4.4

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).Mace767Version: 3.1.1

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..Player DelVersion: 3.1.1

I love this app, there is one feature that I would like to be addedThe 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..Bluejay43LVersion: 3.4.3

E-6BDon’t use the app very much, but when I do it’s invaluable. Quick and easy and always at you fingertips..B-6EVersion: 3.4

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?.Drkmatter19Version: 3.3.4

Very usefulUseful for aviation related questions. Also useful for many technical non aviation questions..SooperdooperdaveVersion: 3.4.5

Sports E6B. Has at least one bugVersion 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..DoBetterRussVersion: 3.4.5

IPad and iPhone differentWeights 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..Ken PTVersion: 3.1

Pressure density calculations are wrongI 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..DbsloneVersion: 3.4.5

Excellent resourceGreat calculator/app. Use it all the time. Very user friendly!!.GijerrVersion: 3.4.5

It’s handy to have.It works nicely as a study tool for me. 👍🏼👍🏼.Adonis MendozaVersion: 3.1

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..MattN3021EVersion: 3.1

Beautiful appDoes what it says on the tin. Nice to have an electronic E6B on the phone, and it's Spirty's so it is good!.LaughingVulcanVersion: 3.1.1

Good but expensiveGreetings 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!.CullubVersion: 3.0.3

Overall GreatI 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..ARFF PilotVersion: 1.3.3

Great design and calculations, but lacking in other areasThe 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).Th3Fr3sh1Version: 1.3.3

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!.Ilsrwy27rVersion: 1.3.3

Apple Watch display needs improvementI 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..@John TVersion: 2.4.2

Weight and Balance calculatorOne 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..BickleFlightVersion: 2.0

Great…but needs time mathI 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!.MidiotlvVersion: 1.3.2

Weight & Balance needs some workNice 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..PA28161Version: 2.0

Count down timer is poorly implementedThe 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..LEK2Version: 1.3.3

Good phone app but watch app is uselessI 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..LionflowerVersion: 2.3.1

Cold weather correctionWould be nice if there’s a cold temperature correction for DA and MDA..ErkspeedVersion: 3.4.5

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!.SupersonicclankVersion: 3.4.4

More units pleaseLooking for calculations in kg for fuel not just pounds!.La.3993Version: 2.0.5

Sporty's E6B Flight Computer Negative Reviews

Unable to type on iPadGreat 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..TheobabdVersion: 3.3.4

Requires full size keyboard on iPadIf 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..Ak_intlVersion: 3.4.5

..: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..Swejen530Version: 3.4.5

Unable to type on iPadWork perfect on phone but on a iPad min 6 you can not type or enter numbers..KopavaVersion: 3.2.2

Keyboard doesn’t workApp will not allow me to enter anything from keyboard even after following steps to fix issue..EmileeHeinksterVersion: 3.3.4

Great product but keyboard not working on iPad 6 miniApp has been awesome until 3 months ago when the keyboard stopped working on my iPad six mini.DmitrydaVersion: 3.4.2

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..EsorccVersion: 3.1.1

Weight & BalanceAs 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..NoWinScenarioVersion: 3.0.3

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..MkolberVersion: 3.0

It's lacking in significant areasAll 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..SkyQuest172Version: 0

Watch features very disappointingI 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!.Frankthetank229Version: 2.3.1

Nothing changedStill very laggy , calculator touch button not responsive enought, TOO BASIC for that price !!!! Def. NOT worth the 10$ . Avoid it.Callmemr1234Version: 1.3.3
