Who has it?

Looks good, any complaints or issues your ran into?

Don't mind paying 8.99 for it if it'll what we need it to do (basic e6b functions).
 
I just downloaded one for the Droid, that works really well. Best part about it is the cost, of $0.00. One less thing I've got to carry with me.
 
Good enough for me.

Thanks guys.

Back into the GA realm I head here shortly, figured I'd see what use I could get out of my phone.

I didn't use that on my commercial ride. I used my iPhone I'm not even kidding. When I asked what I could use for calculations he said any available source. I whipped out mye6b on the iPhone and got to it.
 
Wow. I still regularly use my Jep E6B, and I don't let my students use one im my presence. I understand the whole technology makes things eaiser argument, but what happens when the battries die, or the software crashes. Use those programs, by all means. But whip out that trusty old E6B everyonce in a while to stay profecient at it. You'll thank yourself later when the electronic dodad goes on the fritz.

Fltplan.com is about the best "e6b" I've found. Pretty user friendly iPhone site too.

That's funny, I just emailed fltplan.com today and asked when an improved iPhone or blackberry site would be available. The login and menu are formatted well for iPhone -- but the actual flight-plan entry page isn't formatted at all. I found it pretty lousy.

zap,
that is a good point. i guess the actual flight planning portion of it is not really set up great for an iphone. it is pretty much just like the full website. i guess i am used to using the full site so i havent had any trouble using the mobile version (although, there is a lot of room for improvement on the flight planning section of the mobile version).
 
Let's face it. We all like fltplan.com because it's better than anything else that's out there. But it's really not organized particularly well. It's pretty haphazard and cluttered. I'd love for them to actually create a more user friendly website on the PC, much less a smartphone!

That being said, I use it religiously because it is what i've gotten used to.
