FAR/AIM

Currently in training and this is nice to have, but I’m using my iPhone and iPad during training and it’s very frustrating and time consuming to have to go and bookmark pages on two devices, provided I even remember to. Additionally, there needs to be section on the bookmarks I create. When I know I have a section bookmarked, I spend a lot of wasted time clicking through each bookmark to find the section I need.

I have and will remain a supporter of ASA products. The app updates quickly and I like all the highlight and note features. One area that needs work is the search function. The app only allows single word searches, when you really need a particular phrase or word combination (much like the index in back of the paper book). Fix the word search function or add the index like what’s in the book and you’ll have a superior app!

Doesn’t have key FAR parts such as part 95 (mountainous chart)

If you search the same term in this app versus in ForeFlight, you come up with completely different results. If Foreflight consolidated the FARs and AIMs into a single document, I’d probably be ditching this app. If the search function was better on this one, I’d love it.

Overall it’s an adequate app to access a current FAR/AIM. It is easy to bookmark and hi-light text and the study by certificate section is great. 

The problems are that it does NOT sync any bookmarks or hi-lighting across your iOS devices, which is beyond frustrating as most pilots are using both an  iPhone and iPad. Another downfall is the search function. It is a “word search”, not a “text search”: meaning if you start typing a word it is not finding any results until you finish the word, and if you type a different form of a word it will not yield results. For example searching for ‘tire’ will not reveal results for the word ‘tires’ and if you don’t quite know how to completely spell a word you won’t be able to find partial results.

Would be nice if it cloud synced between my devices.

Negative: After searching for a key word or phrase and clicking on one of the resulting sections on the left side of the screen, the app should scroll down to the text where my search term is located (rather than requiring that I scroll down manually to find the search term).

Positive: Stable app

Excellent and convenient app but one thing I wish to see added is when a reg is bookmarked, it would be extremely helpful if the title of that reg is displayed next to it and/or we should have the ability to edit our own text with the reg bookmarked. Currently just the number of the reg is displayed and it would be easier to associate which reg is which when we have the name of the reg next to the number.

ASA - Love the app but can you add part 93 in your next update?  Specifically looking to have “subpart U” and the various Special Flight Rules areas that are covered in that part. 

Also, the search function could be fine tuned.  Searching for a key word does not yield all of the results that can be found within the app. ???

Great job with this overall!

Should be able to sync this across devices. I’m getting a new iPad and I will have to manually transfer all my bookmarks and highlights to the new app?
