Among the reviews analyzed, Air Navigation Pro is praised for its accurate moving map, flight planning capabilities, and helpful customer support, with many long-term pilots relying on it. However, a recurring theme is frustration with the forced subscription model after an initial one-time payment, which leaves some users locked out. Frequent crashes on Android and difficulties with login or purchase restoration are also common complaints. Some users report outdated maps and data, a safety concern. The app may fit dedicated VFR pilots who can accept the subscription cost and occasional bugs. Those seeking a stable, pay-once navigation tool or who fly in areas with poorly maintained charts may find better alternatives.
What users like
Responsive and helpful customer support Multiple reviews across star ratings mention that contacting the support team led to quick resolution of login, subscription, and installation issues, often within the same day.
Accurate navigation and moving map with good map coverage Pilots praised the app for accurate position display, reliable moving map, and useful VFR navigation features, with particular appreciation for coverage in regions like South Africa, Europe, and Eastern/Southern Africa.
Powerful flight planning and route management Users highlighted the ability to create, save, and manage routes, along with detailed charts and databases, making it suitable for complex navigation scenarios.
Ease of use and intuitive interface for many pilots Several reviews described the app as user-friendly and easy to use, even praised for being intuitive during flight, though some found it initially confusing.
Common concerns
Forced subscription model after one-time payment A very frequent complaint is that users who bought the app with a one-time fee are now required to pay an annual subscription, often being locked out of the app on new devices or after updates until they pay again.
Android app crashes frequently Many reviews report the app crashing on startup or during use, making it unreliable in flight, with some noting it works much better on iOS.
Login and subscription restoration problems Users often cannot log in or restore previous purchases after reinstalling or updating the app, ending up stuck on a subscription prompt instead of their purchased content.
Outdated maps and airspace data Several users report that charts and navigation data are outdated, including airspace files not updated for months or years, which is a safety concern.
