Review summary

Users appreciate the FAR/AIM app's ease of navigation, digital convenience, and useful layout for professional pilots. However, multiple reviews mention significant issues like unreliable highlighting, limited search capabilities, outdated information, broken links, and missing features such as cross-device sync. These cons hinder study and operational use despite the app's generally positive aspects.

Pros

App is easier to navigate and use compared to the paper version or other apps.
Provides quick access to FAR/AIM data and useful for studying and professional pilots.
The layout and hyperlinks are positively noted by users.
Having a digital version is convenient and preferable to carrying physical copies.
Fast and easy to use for quick searches.

Cons

Highlighting functionality often does not work or is unreliable.
Search function is limited, sometimes overwhelming or difficult to narrow results.
App data is not updated timely, with some users noting missing 2024 updates.
Broken or non-functional links reduce usability.
Lack of cross-device synchronization for highlights and other features.

2024-10-17	Jo*****	No (obvious) way to edit search text, and no search history. So if you misspell a search, you must retype the whole thing. Trailing space in search text (added when you tap a suggested word) is erroneously included in the search string and should be automatically trimmed. Section Tables of Contents, as in the printed version, are not included. The "Highlights" page is blank. Given these deficiencies, the GOVREGS app, with it's own minor frustrations, works equally as well, and it's free.

2024-01-15	Jo*****	I like the layout and the hyperlinks. Unfortunately the rarity of the highlight function actually working makes this app unusable for study and checkride prep.

2023-08-11	Ju*****	Doesn't have up to date information The app states it checks for updates of information daily. AIM 7-1-6 is what made me notice this. The chapter updated in the FAA register in April of this year, this app still hasn't updated as of this review.

2023-05-16	Ta*****	Really good app! Way easier than lugging around the large version. Also way easier to navigate than the eCFR

2022-11-10	Da*****	All links are broken, and ASA shows no sense of urgency over getting it fixed. I've been asking for some time. The most recent word from Support is, "There is still no update at the moment, this bug will be fixed in the next update, we just do not have a time frame on when that will be." C'mon, guys. This isn't hard!

2022-10-22	Ma*****	Android functionality minimal, at best. App should be updated to have similar functionality for android OS as is advertised for MAC.

2022-06-21	As*****	Its nice having a far aim to reference right in your pocket. But I can only get the highlighting function to work around half the time (on both my phone and iPad)
