## Description

Based on Sporty’s handheld E6B Electronic Flight Computer, the E6B app brings proven aviation formulas to iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Mac. It is designed for pilots to make navigation, conversions, and arithmetic quick and reliable, while leveraging modern interfaces across iOS and macOS.

Key features include 27 aviation functions for altitude, speed, wind, fuel, distance, Mach, and more; 22 aviation conversions (temperature, distance, mass, volume, and time formats); and a clock/timer that tracks Zulu, Local, and Home time zones with countdown alerts for missed approaches and fuel management.

## Review summary

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.
