smartCHECK

I thought the catalog was much more than about 8 options. Then having to buy each checklist in addition to the app seems like a duplicate charge.

Great little app that aids in the cockpit by removing the need to find and reference written or digital checklists. I love the voice prompting, but is a bit redundant in aircraft with a G1000 and an available checklist. Would be great to have an option to manually check the items and be able to jump to different parts of the list (or go back). Finally while a nice app, for $12 I expected more, hence 3 stars.

I have to say, I love this checklist app. The display on the iPad is clean, easy to use. My favorite: the text to speech output that reads all the checklist points. To the checklists and why it got only four start: If you fly a Cirrus, no problem, just use the one provided. They have some other checklists that are about 6 bucks (and well worth it if you have such an airplane, since creating a custom one can bi a pita). As mentioned above, creating your own checklist (e.g. for my Cardinal RG) is not so simple. You have the option of doing it on the iPad. However, I have not found out how to create categories in a checklist there. The other option is to send yourself an email with the checklist and edit it on the computer. The checklist is in JSON format, which is basically a large text file. There you can don almost anything that you want :). However, it is not well documented and rather bothersome. It contains additional fields, like comments (even spokencomments) that do not seem to be used by the app. Also, the automatic checklist selection can be programmed in there, but this is not documented at all. For five stars, you would need to create a nice GUI to edit the checklist on PC and/or Mac. If the format would just be a bit better documented, you'd get four and a half stars.
