Reviews: What People Think About WingX®

Rating: 4/5
I can't even remember how long I have used this thing but it has worked nonstop the whole time. I fly all the time and often go to unfamiliar places. I typically fly alone and a fair amount of the time night or IFR. Flying is even a commute. How we ever managed with paper charts amazes me. Get a reliable tablet with a cell data plan and you have it all.
This is flight planning made easy and without a suitcase full of paper you have to mess with all the time. This latest rev of the program is the best yet. And with ADS-B in it is great for planning traffic avoidance. Yes one can actually plan to avoid others rather than just dodge them. The connection to and appearance of data from ADS-B seems instant when paired with a Lynx NGT9000.
I also prefer NOS charts and plates to Jep. This is somewhat a religion issue but for me it is just what i grew up with.
Why not five stars? The briefing interface is a bit arcane but no worse than DUATS was. Leidos made a big improvement and I think WingX should too in this area. Part of the issue is not WingX but the NOTAM mess which even the government had complained about.
Drive on Hilton as I hope to have afew more decades of good product.

I took a four year hiates from flying and got back into it again last year. I had the best of avionics including a Garman 430. This program is really better in many respects and Only requires an iPad and a GPS transmitter. I'm only flying vfr now but could not have done the flights I have done in the busy northeast corrider weaving my way around different air spaces. It's a great GPS and has many many other functions that I don't really use. I Love this program. thank you
PS I got my IFR currency and love using the approach plates. Especially like the Geo referencing so I can see my plane's exact position as I do an approach. I have no problems with slow redraw rate or anything else. Support has been excellent. Program has everything – flight planning, E6B, IFR and VFR for maps, approach plates, Airport information, and weather. Just got ADS-B– from Open Flight and am looking forward to using it on my iPad to display weather and other aircraft. Great program thank you

I have been a long time user of WingX , and hope we very disappointed with the recent release as I had expected a lot more. I just received the “Subscription renewal “ notice about a week ago. I use both Wing x and the Advanced IFR add on. Once I received the renewal reminder , I decided to give ForeFlight a try. After using the 30 day trial for a Cooke or days and getting used to it , I have to say , ForeFlight is light years ahead of WingX. There are a few things I like better with wing x , but that’s probably because I have used it exclusively for 6 years , but Forflight offers so much more in every area , especially in flight planning , finding IFR cleared routes automatically, filing etc. sorry , WingX , I have made the switch to ForeFlight WingX still just doesn’t seem to want to invest in making their product more competitive and feature based.
