ForeFlight Passenger for Negative User Reviews

✓ Map is awfulA mostly blank map with no information other than a few flight details? Why can’t you just download the street map already present on ForeFlight and use that as the Passenger map? I’d like to hand this to my passengers as a fun companion to their flight and a way to answer questions about what mountain peak they’re flying past, what road is that down below, etc. Instead the map is mostly blank and pretty useless..J DeganiVersion: 1.7

✓ Surface features neededGreat app and my wife who flies with me uses it all the time to see when we expect to arrive and relatively where we are. However the more conf map needs more surface features to have the passenger look and locate them making it more entertaining.Song FanaticVersion: 1.5

✓ Map could be ALOT betterIt’s not all that useful.Carlos.9993Version: 1.7

✓ Good idea, but terrible mapsThis is a great idea, but the map quality is terrible...passengers expect something along the lines of Apple Maps, showing streets, etc., not some low-res thing that looks like it was drawn with a crayon! Since the flight plan is known ahead of time, the app should cache all the tiles it is going to need to show a reasonable quality map throughout the flight. Update: A year later and still the same crappy maps. Pathetic development team on this thing..MannPodVersion: 1.6

✓ More detailIt works quite well to show where you are but there’s no detail on the map. It would be nice if it would show a satellite view like google maps or even better if it could sync whatever chart the pilot was using. Passengers would probably enjoy it more with some detail..E.

✓ Remaining time tweak neededReally like the ForeFlight Passenger app. Came in handy when our aircraft’s Airshow System broke. Glad that one can airplay it from an iPhone to an Apple TV, but would like to see Passenger app available on the Apple TV too in the future. Minor complaint - the Remaining time and ETA are not accurate during initial climb out, when re-routed nor on radar vectors to final. On climbout it initially indicated 11+ hours remaining time shortly after takeoff (for our 5 hour flight). Once at cruising altitude/speed, the remaining time and ETA got more accurate (within 15 minutes of our aircraft FMS remaining time). During re-route, Remaining time grew to an hour off before I thought about using the Direct To feature on ForeFlight then re-pushing the data from ForeFlight to Passenger app manually. During approach phase, the Remaining time indicated 8 minutes remaining abeam the airport, but the time grew higher as we were vectored to the other side of the airport to intercept a 10 mile final. Even though we eventually flew the final approach track loaded in ForeFlight, the Remaining time kept increasing (to 31 minutes remaining on a 5 mile final to land) before I turned the app off. Passengers commented they could see E-mail pop-ups on the Passenger app screen..SirBowserVersion: 1.1

✓ Trip Sheet FeaturePlease build a trip sheet feature that allows pilots to plan and push trip information from pilot app to pax..252BZVersion: 1.7

✓ Good, not greatThe base functionality works fine but adding more detail to the map itself would be great even if the app storage size was a bit larger and adding the ability to pass through layers like weather or traffic from adsb woukd be amazing too. A more detailed map is the largesr improvement that could be made in my opinion though, it’s just too high scale to be useful for short GA flights..Ben wolakVersion: 1.7

✓ Need to support older iPadsOn my plane anyways the older iPad gets used as the “air show” iPad but it’s being left in the dust with the updates and is no longer compatible with the latest version of foreflight. This is a gross oversight. Please update for OS 12 iPads so we can use it again. Passengers love it but now a paperweight..Brapbrappbbm21Version: 1.2.1

✓ Need more detailed mapsLast update really improved the map a lot. I went from "absolutely useless" to "Oh now I could tell my passengers to download it". Big problem is that it's only worth one more star because the map is still very empty. Please add an option to add Street Map or Aerial Map. When I give my iPad to my passenger, it's always one of the 2 that I activate and my passengers love it. They can track the roads to their places, can see all the small mountains and their names, and can see every little details on the map, to associate them with what they see outside. Add Aerial and Street Maps! Please.HeyJayseeVersion: 1.7

✓ Needs weatherIt is a great app but, it needs weather on it. Also maybe different maps..Runnerboy19Version: 1.0

✓ GraphicsAre you serious ? Is this the best a Boeing Company can do? Where are the great visual graphics? You truly missed the chance to show passengers your stuff. I don’t care how easy it is to install it boring boring and still boring I keep looking for the color enhance button. 2 stars / One for free and One the thought. Wow let’s try and raise the bar just a little on the next effort..Gulf3Version: 1.5

✓ DisappointingIncredibly lame.The simulates the sort of thing you see in an airliner but with almost no map detail. I expected some additional data from the pilots ForeFlight, such as weather, airspace or traffic, but there is nothing but route, speed, and ETA. Most passengers will be better informed using another map application with GPS location..Belchfire IDVersion: 1.7

✓ A good idea but...A good idea but map is not useful to passengers. My passengers tell me they want to see street maps..Av8drVersion: 1.0

✓ Not showing in store for iPadCan’t seem to find it foe the iPad only the phone.PilotChanceVersion: 1.6
