Stratus Insight EFB for Negative User Reviews
✓ Do not download !!!ADSB does not work with Garmin GDL and I was charged $9.95 less than a week after downloading. Was not 30-day trial period..Version: 5.17.3
✓ No support for StratuxIt used to support Stratux, now it does not!!!.Version: 5.14.0
✓ Subscription problemsThe app isn't bad. I liked the terrain clearance feature which gives a graphical depiction of weather and wind. My problem was that I kept getting charged monthly for subscription renewal and I couldn't stop it. Had to contact Apple to get them to shut down subscription. I really didn't like the app as much as Foreflight or Garmin Pilot..Version: 4.50
✓ Can’t rely onI have tried to use on IPad Pro, and it crashed, locked screen and even after rebooting and restarting Insight, only thing that comes up is same locked screen. I have cancelled subscription..Version: 5.13.0
✓ Don’t purchase. Avoid Avoid AvoidI will updated if anything changes, but I downloaded this app, then during the first day of the 30-day trial learned that it does not work in Canada where I need it to work. I was immediately charged for the app. I requested a refund but it was denied, then after contacting the credit card company I was issued a credit memo but Apple. Then, after I alerted the credit card company that a refund had been provided, the app was mysteriously reinstated and I was changed again by Apple (or the app developer). Stay away from this app! If anything positive comes of this I will update accordingly..Version: 5.19
✓ Some nice features but clunky interfaceThe vertical weather profile is it's best feature. But pinching does not work as expected, at one point hanging during 1.3X resize. I like that it starts queuing up approach charts when airports are added to your flightplan. But trying to create a flightplan was frustrating experience: The map kept resetting me centered on current location. Im trying to rubber the flight path and keep getting thrown back. Could not find a way to query individual airspace, it just gives me a long list of every one on the chart. Be nice to get a vertical profile of those as well. Could not add airways. I personally like text and cascading menus, the symbolic buttons doesn't work for me. And I watch a video, it shows buttons on the bottom, I never could figure out how to get to that screen..Version: 4.73
✓ I wish I could change the units of measurement.I really like the features in this app. I’m still trying to get used to the interface. My complaint is not being able to change the units of measurement. I’d like to use mph over knots since that is how my AI reads and to stay consistent with that I’d like to be able to view SM vs KM. Maybe in a future release?.Version: 4.73
✓ ScamBeware If you download this app, they will charge you for an ongoing subscription without you realizing it. There’s no way to cancel this automatic renewal! A real scam! Don’t dare download the “free” trial!.Version: 5.12.2
✓ Paid but unable to useMy account has been debited , and when I tried to use the app It’s asking me to pay a further subscription to use this app . Can you please sort this out !.Version: 5.02
✓ Weather is incredible, but......I tried it for two months and 5 flights after I upgraded my Stratus from 2S to 3. Clearly, the integration of the two, both now owned by Appareo, had a LOOONNNGGGG way to go. All the flights were VFR, thankfully, as the instability of the program was woeful at best. It crashed continuously! The craziest one that caused me to turn it off for good was a VFR flight to a pancake fly in. I was watching all the targets on screen as I entered he pattern when the screen began replicating itself over and over just before it crashed again. Fortunately, I was focused outside the airplane, but this just proved I could not rely on it and cancelled the subscription. But, oh that weather! Cloud tops and bases visually for your route? Yowzaa! Just wish I could buy that separately..Version: 5.09
✓ No thanksNot paying $9.99 per month.Version: 5.16.0
✓ Not actually freeYou need to pay for a subscription to actually use the app.Version: 5.08
✓ Ex 737 driverWould be nice for them to tell you how it cost before you download.Version: 5.08
✓ Broken onboardingThe app opens on a rather nosey account creation screen that won’t accept phone numbers that have more than 10 digits. But at the end you’re rewarded with a “Account cannont be created’ error message. It’s built so poorly that iOS’ password generator doesn’t work..Version: 5.20
✓ Getting worse instead of betterGreat idea to be able to submit PIREPS electronically, but terrible execution. The interface is becoming very convoluted. Yesterday it said no GPS data when Foreflight and Garmin Pilot were happily plotting my course using the internal GPS. The flight planning function is difficult to use and much worse than either of the above. They should go back to being a simple PIREP program. Finally, it's really annoying that the free program won't store your N number and name, making you type it in each time..Version: 2.21
✓ No Free TrialTried to use this funky app. Downloaded for a free trial. As I entered a flight plan, I was prompted that my free trial ended and I couldn’t use any features. It’s a shame I couldn’t try this app as I heard good reviews. Stick to Foreflight..Version: 5.09
✓ OK but needs improvement to compete w FF and GPOverall very pleased with the product but needs some improvements. Been using for 2 weeks now and I have active FF and GP to compare to. Some comments : 1) The deal breaker — Synthetic vision screen severely lacks overlay options and is extremely glitchy. It’s hard to call this a feature when there is zero fluidness to the screen. Before you judge, I use apple mini 5 and I’ve also tried on Ipaad air - both have this major issue. 2) Needs graphical Leidos brief like FF does. Why is it that FF has full graphics like 800brief but no other product offers this? Something isn’t right with that. 3) Although you can add the approach plate, you don’t get option to add fixes to the flight plan - ie loading approaching. This is a must and needs attention to be competitive with FF/GP 4) Too many layers of menus. Menus at the top match FF (but why since imo this is the worst part of FF interface). On the lower screen there’s another menu. The lower one should be configurable, then completely delete the top one which is impossible to touch accurately on a bumpy flight. My preference is the menu method GP uses. Rich in color and highly visible in flight. 5) It would be nice to have Heading overlay arc on the plan view - the way aera796 does this (which I also own) would be amazing. No other iOS app does this and would be game changer for situational awareness. Btw the round compass rose approach is not a good solution as it clutters the screen. 6) Add HITS for full FP + loaded approach - There is no reason why any paying app should be without this feature. This coupled with approaches would be the best solution for 99% of pilots. I don’t like the auto glide slope as it does not match approach glide slope and can be very misleading. It should match the approach only when loaded. 7) Split screen similar to FF was the wrong decision. IMO the method GP uses is the best, offering small button to configure the secondary window that we want to activate. No one else comes close. 8)Vertical planning mode w weather is a valuable tool especially for icing and cloud layers..Version: 5.12
✓ Favorites lacking, storage hogI’ve tried quite a few flight apps, most called EFBs despite the fact that most are far from an “EFB”. I like this one but it is a compromise because it lacks the ability to edit the favorites list or a method to save for a long term, a plan that one uses frequently. It is also not possible to edit a temporarily saved “favorite”, you have to name it something else. The favorites list as is, has little to no value to me. More than 20 gig, yes, more than 20 gig of storage, how can that be? Another problem I encountered is that after creating an IFR flight plan, if you try to edit airways after the fact, it draws airway lines all over the place which the only way to fix is to start over. I found myself going back to skyvector to create and file my flight plans because I know they will be correct that way. Documentation is really poor, and that is a problem in itself. I really like the price as it is reasonable, but improvements need to be made. I’m going to continue using this app as I watch for these changes. Hopefully I can edit this review as changes are made. I uninstalled this app because it is not working for me, before the trial ended, yet I was still charge the annual fee. I would like refund..Version: 5.12.1
✓ Still no Canadian chartsIt was hoping for an alternative for ForeFlight or FltPlan Go but without Canadian charts I guess I have to keep waiting..Version: 5.11
✓ Has potential, but is WAY to glitchy to be used in flightAfter using ForeFlight for 3 years, I decided to try some different EFBs. I like how simple this app is, but even in the 15 minutes getting oriented with the app, I noticed that it is very glitchy. There were several times where I could not get charts or takeoff minimums to close using the ‘X’ (close button). Also, I don’t feel like the interface is too polished. It felt a little clunky to use. Given the bugs I came across so far, I would hesitate to attempt to use it during an actual flight. Has potential though..Version: 5.09
✓ It’s a joke! Don’t waste your time.There is no such thing “a 30 day trial “. It would not even let you look at it without subscribing..Version: 5.18
✓ Only for N America & Western CanadaPurchased a subscription only to find that only North America and Western Canada are covered. This should have been clear from the app description but was not. I shall be requesting a refund..Version: 5.02
