User Reviews

Sporty’s E6B Flight Computer on iOS offers fast, comprehensive flight-calculation tools and a clean interface, with universal app support across iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Users praise speed, ease of use, and breadth of tools for quick planning. However, multiple reviews point to long-standing neglect in updates, input and reliability problems (keyboard issues, wrong results), missing or buggy Weight & Balance functionality, and confusing navigation. Overall, it's a powerful tool hindered by maintenance and UX polish needs.

Pros

Fast calculations that save time versus a handheld E6B.
Wide range of aviation calculation tools and pre-made tables.
Easy to use with a clean, sharp interface.
Universal app across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with a single purchase.

Cons

No updates for years / apparent lack of ongoing development.
Keyboard/input issues on iPad and with small devices; data entry is awkward (mini floating keyboard compatibility).
Reliability issues: incorrect or inconsistent results (including density altitude and = button behavior).
Missing or buggy Weight & Balance features; can’t enter certain data (e.g., decimal arms) or W&B is not integrated.
Hard-to-navigate UI with terminology that doesn’t match what users search for.

Recent reviews

All kinds of issues. Just downloaded and paid for this app as a companion to the Sporty’s Lean to Fly lesson on the E6B calculator. Just attempted the 10 question quiz at the end of the lesson, and it either got different answers for the same calculations shown in the video, or rounding issues didn’t even let me plug in the same decimals.
