8Flight Aviator EFB

Really like the app, especially for Alaska flying with the color coded FAA cameras on the map for quick reference. The only critique so far is the flow of the flight planning, when you click on an airport to look at the weather would speed the flow up to add the quick links for details and direct to at the top like in the more function of holding your finger down on the map to see the nearest Navaids and airports. Definitely has some cool features compared to ForeFlight for less than half the price.

Absolutely love this new EFB! The real-time fuel prices and FBO fee updates are helpful, saving me both time and money. It makes checking the weather so much faster and the accuracy is spot-on. The app provides all the essential tools in one place, but if I could offer one suggestion: declutter the default map, please. Sometimes I just want to look at a map. Overall highly recommend it for anyone looking to streamline their flight planning

This app leaves a lot to be desired in its current state. It’s being marketed as the killer to other EFBs, but I really don’t see a single thing here (outside of up to date fuel pricing, which could be accomplished with a literal 15 second call. Call them as you open your hangar door and it’s a net negative since you aren’t wasting any time.) that stands out as “better” than the big apps with more features. If this had checklists, weight and balance, garmin integration, crosswind factor (or, frankly, any runway information as all it shows is a map and the longest runway), logbook, weather forecasts beyond just what the sky will look like, satellite map, the ability to download the world updates when I want and not blow through my data without a way to pause for me to get on FBO WiFi, ….. I might consider jumping to this full time. I enjoy Matt’s videos and try to support where I can. I think there’s certainly potential, but I open up foreflight and it just seems “right”. The map seems a bit busy for my taste and I can’t seem to understand why it’s so cluttered with no way to turn that off. Keep it up Matt, I’m going to keep my subscription as a “thank you” for the videos but I really hope there’s some significant feature additions and upgrades to the system soon.
