iFlightPlanner vs PilotPal: Flight Planner EFB

An honest comparison based on real user reviews. Both are popular Flight Planner apps — but which one do users complain about less?

iFlightPlanner

Main Weakness

No mobile flight planning capability and app crashes on basic interactions

"After downloading enough data to make this work...you can only actually plan a flight on a real computer and not on an iPad.. You can then sync to your pad but what good is that if you are mobile, have a change of flight plans"
"This app pretty much crashes every single chance it gets. If you tap on an airport diagram, it'll crash. If you tap on weather info for a certain airport, it'll crash."

PilotPal: Flight Planner EFB

Main Weakness

Incomplete chart supplement data and impossible subscription cancellation

"This app is only an Airport facilities directory. The chart supplement has more than just the airport facility directory. It has sections on vfr corridors. Visual reporting points. VOR test locations. Important phone numbers...etc."
"I get charged for a recurring subscription every month and cannot find a way to cancel it. Completely worthless."
