FAR/AIM - FAA Pilot Reference for Negative User Reviews
✓ Bad business practiceI’ve used this app almost since they started many years ago and stayed with them until now. Their app used to be good, quick and responsive. As time went on began getting slower to load and reported it many times. I subscribed to them since it was $6.00 purchase only, then annual subscription for updates only and they raised it gradually, yet their service got worse and app became slower. I didn’t renew on my renewal date a few days back and just learned the app becomes totally unusable if you don’t renew, that’s why I call it a bad business practice as subscription used to be for the updates only. App used to work if you were late for renewal, you would just not get the routine updates, now they even render it unusable. I just searched and found another app that does the job very well like this one used to be when they started. This is a bad business practice, shame on you guys. RESPONSE: In response to your comment, I have multiple communication thread under my account, you’re more than welcome to check my correspondence. You didn’t mention anything about your change of business practice of locking the app upon expiration of subscription. Your company is the only who has such wrong business practice, not to mention not honoring the specials you ran for renewal. I was unable to use that offer when you had it and multiple times sent emails and inquiries, but all remained unanswered..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Monthly feeThey charge a monthly fee for content that is available for free on the FAA website.Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Every section I try to look at requires paid subscription. Better other paid versions.Every section I try to look at requires paid subscription. Better other paid versions..Version: 9.665.20200316
✓ False advertisingAs soon as you download the app, you find out everything is locked behind a subscription. Useless..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Don’t bother using this appIt’s a waste of time and you will be paywalled if you actually try to look up information.. aka information that was not created by this app developer and is free to access online..Version: 9.670.20210419
✓ CFII reviewDue to the fact that the literature in this app does not completely match the hard copy FAR/AIM we are all familiar with, leads me to the conclusion that this material is inaccurate and can not be reliable. I have been unable to find information pertaining to regulations specific to rotorcraft..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ APP crashes when highlighting textI’ve use this app for several years. Recently, when I highlight text, the app crashes. When I reopen the app the text is not highlighted however if I select the text and past the text that I highlighted is blocked out. Also, the bookmarking and organizing of selections is clumsy to say the least..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Good but aim doesnt have picturesWhy wouldn't you put pictures for the aim?.Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ OkGood overall but annoying that it doesn’t recognize subscription paid limiting access between platforms (iPad phone etc).Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ App is great but my data and how it’s been used and tracked is the issue for meI was never told upfront or given an option to opt out of anything concerning my data usage or purchases, etc when I downloaded this years ago and although the other major publisher of the FARs that also has study guides and everything as well is cheaper, this app is a lot better and I would prefer to use this app over any other when it comes to the regulations and being current and up to date. But my biggest drawback is they are the only ones who collect, track, share your data that could be linked back to you. The other app doesn’t track anything. Call it what you will, for me, I have enough things keeping track of my data and sharing it these days and if I can have one less to worry about I’m all for it..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Please update to 2021 edition of FAR/AIMI purchased this app because it said “monthly updates “ but this is still the 2020 version . And I paid for a subscription so please update so I can legally use this as reference.Version: 9.677.20210531
✓ App functionality good, customer support non-existentDownloaded the app under the free trial. My main like was the ability to save highlights and bookmarks across devices. Attempted to do so across my iOS devices but was unable to do so. Contacted customers support through the in app chat feature. Told them the problem and was given a link to an article to resolve issue. Followed directions but was still unable to correct the syncing problem. Reached back out to support but was unable to get a hold of anyone. Called left a message at their number listed on website. Still was unable to get a call back after almost a week. Up to this day have not received any support to resolve problem. If you are able to get app to work as designed great! If not I would not waste your time with customer support..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Greedy.Subscription price is insanely high for a digital version, the app auto-enrolls you in auto-pay subscriptions yet you cannot cancel the subscription on the app. The bookmark feature is hardly functional. Much of the language and verbiage does not match up with the FAA approved texts. I’ll definitely be switching to an alternate, better, more reasonable, and more practical app for the FAR/AIM..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ OutdatedIt’s outdated, glad I checked before Checkride.Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Waste of $$$$Get the ASA version of the FAR/AIM, $10 one time and NO annual subscription..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ $20 yearly subscription fee too muchThe app is fine, but all it does is downloading free content and reformatting it. Fine, but $20 subscription fee is too much..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Yearly costApp will not let you use historical law previously paid for. It will want a subscription even to view previously paid for data that is also in the public domain. Money grab.Version: 9.663.20210301
✓ It’s really a paid appI looks like you can use it for free and pay for some premium features. In reality, you cannot read any of the FAR without a paid subscription. I can go to the website for that..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ And uninstallBye.Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Bad for students - poor organizationPretty poor app structure. App is great, but a lot of issues. App will crash if you highlight over a highlight cell, AND adding a note feature. Also we all know how many regs we have to know as pilots, so I was excited to transition over from “tabbing” my saved regulations, to creating bookmarks, but the bookmarking feature is absolutely horrible. Sounds like it’s a great app once you’re in the airlines and don’t need to stay drilled into the regs, but poor if you’re going for a check ride or teaching your students something. The app support is there, like we can message them “whenever we need” but I haven’t received any beneficial help yet. I subscribed for one year but I probably won’t continue unless this bookmarking & highlighting bugs are fixed..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ 15$ per year???The FAR/AIM content is free to access. Why should I pay PER YEAR? And 15 dollars??? I can pay once for the app, but never a subscription. Bye..Version: 9.680.20210615
✓ Locked out after a few daysI just bought this and then a few days later it locks out and pops up asking for a subscription. Can’t use it at all. Waste of money and time..Version: 9.680.20210615
