Jeppesen FliteDeck Pro

This app doesn’t really do anything but read charts. The AMM feature is interesting but not nearly as useful as the chart itself. The chart annotation feature doesn’t do palm rejection so even if you use an Apple Pencil you will still get extra dots due to palm presses and even pinch-to-zoom actions! You only get two colors with no opacity or size controls. You either clear it all or not at all, there is no eraser. The moving map feature is slow and hard to use in comparison with other less expensive EFB products. This app can’t access any FIS-B weather from connected devices. And even if it did, displays only allow for METAR & TAF information. If this is required by your workplace, I’m sorry. If you’re considering Jeppesen products, get them through ForeFlight.

The only reason I use this app is because its the only app that is authorized for my airline. I hate this app so much, it lags on an iPad Pro, try to zoom in and scroll, it's not smooth at all and the app freezes and maybe 10 seconds later the app zooms in, and 5 seconds later it scrolls. Important info is still stuck behind the pen and rotation button in the lower right corner and you can't zoom or scroll the info off that button to see what is covered up. To get around this I just print all the charts onto paper and carry the paper around. Just so i can get to the information hidden under the lower right buttons and so I don't have to use this useless app.

Don’t mind the new update but I was extremely disappointed when it didn’t resolve the main issue I had with the app. It is still impossible to search within the saved flight plans. I have over 200 saved and it is very irritating to have to manually rifle through them all to find the one I want and have to do that every leg of the day!

This new version, with an X added to the original name, is not being able to reproduce the location of the aircraft as consistently and accurately as the old version. There must be a flaw in the software that causes the ownship display to snap as soon as the aircraft starts moving. The locations keeps coming in and going out every few minutes in the flight. However the old version on the same ipad did not create such issues.

The app is nice looking and a small improvement from its predecessor. I do miss the two finger swipe to a new plate. Hitting a button in turbulence is a pain. They really need to incorporate ADSB-in technology from Foreflight. The ability to have weather and especially traffic would be a major improvement to the application. The safety gained from such an addition would be great.
