Pros and cons of World Airport Data app for iPhone and iPad
World Airport Data app good for
Helpful and handy app, that works well. Id like to see a custom field added to the radio frequency section where a pilot could add (for example) a company frequency.
Buy it! $2.99 is chump change for how much information this beauty has. Its been heavily updated since the last negative reviews.
Its pretty good, even little airports listed, no crashes so far. Could be useful for Flight Simulator when you want to look up runway lengths and elevation.
Some bad moments
... for now just 1 star because app keeps crashing and closing when allowing to use my location (in germany) and when tapping on "map view" within an airport data. Please fix these bugs!
App crashes when searching airport identifiers. 1 star rating for now. Can be 5 stars when it actually functions the way it should.
It not updated since about 3 years. There is not type of approach on airport database. Completely unusable.
First airport I looked for KIAH George Bush Intercontinental Airport, not in the app
Second airport I looked for KHOU Houston Hobby Inter. Again missing
Gave up
Its a pain to search names of the airports by scrolling through every airport in the country.
Theres no way to search by identifier
Although I havent tried searching for an airport by typing it in as the person in the previous comment has I however came across another glitch, when clicking the show on map tab the app exits to the iPhones main screen so the map can not be viewed. Hope you can fix this soon. Other then that the app is very simple and straight to the point, very basic and for what it currently offers its not worth $1.99. With that said with this being the first version for this app Im sure the bugs will be fixed and more features will be added.
Do not buy; it does not work. I just bought it this morning and I have not been able to get it to perform as stated. It freezes up the IPhone at the point where youre supposed to enter a city name.
