Review summary

Hangar is praised for a strong aviation-focused social community, easy setup, and a clear way to log and share flights with fellow pilots. Users also enjoy following others’ flights and live updates, with some noting ongoing dev responsiveness. However, stability is a recurring issue: repeated black screens on launch, broken features (playback, 3D view), onboarding/login hurdles, and confusing premium prompts. Despite its appealing concept, reliability and onboarding need improvement to unlock the app’s full social/logging potential.
Pros
  • Strong aviation-focused social community that lets pilots connect, share flights, and follow peers.
  • Easy setup and intuitive UI for posting and logging flights.
  • Ability to log flights, track hours, and view live flights from others with rankings.
  • Useful for staying connected with family or other pilots via notifications.
  • Active development and responsiveness from the developer team.
Cons
  • Frequent black screen on startup or login, making the app unusable.
  • Buggy or non-functional features (e.g., playback, 3D view, profile photo upload, aircraft type selection).
  • Pricing concerns: premium subscription is unclear and the prompts feel intrusive.
  • Onboarding/login hurdles (Apple sign-in issues, verification code problems).
  • Notifications and following feed can be unreliable (taps not taking you to flights, blank following screen).

2026-08-07 Tr***** I like the concept of this app, but support is nonexistent. I’ve tried in various ways to get in contact with the developers to correctly. Identify of my home airport and they have been unresponsive. I would hesitate purchasing premium features for this application. But will continue to use it free.

2026-07-10 Ke***** If you’re a professional pilot and fly in the flight levels, this app is pretty terrible. First takeoff out of FTW (Ft. Worth Meacham) it told my wife that we had returned to the airfield 5 minutes after takeoff, when in reality we were at FL240 and climbing. It’s done this on basically every flight so far, or, it just completely cuts off tracking in the middle of a flight and says we landed and sends her a text message, but we haven’t actually landed. It’s made my wife more nervous thinking something happened than giving her a piece of mind. So, until this app fixes the high altitude capability, I won’t be using it anymore. Thankfully I was doing the free trial and didn’t pay for it.

2026-07-03 Jm***** The app is a great idea however it does have some bugs which I’m willing to tolerate as they develop the software. The best part is the text messaging to two emergency contacts; suggestion : added contacts should be allowed to get those text messages to more people.

2026-06-20 Lo***** Review required to register. Not sure what I’m supposed to recommend if I haven’t used it yet?

2026-06-14 Da***** I’ve tried all settings on the app and non of them give me constant flight logs. Canceling my subscription today.

2026-06-14 NS***** Great concept. I’ve tried using the app and it is not tracking my flights. When I first downloaded the app it tracked my flight but wouldn’t stop the flight when I landed. I flew multiple legs, then drove home. It still showed me flying on my drive home. Now it won’t track my flights at all. I’ve tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. I’ve tried to contact support but they are slow to respond, it took 5 days to get a response.

2026-06-08 Pa***** Probably the best aviation app on the App Store. It’s a great spot to meet and talk to other pilots. The tracking is also spot on and super fun to use

2026-06-05 pa***** I enjoy the app in theory, but I just had to delete the app and redownload it because the flight tracking never registered the end of my flight. There is no manual override to end a flight in the app as far as I could find. Turning off location services also did not end the flight tracking. It seemed continually frozen in the background on my phone lock screen and island, even closing the app did not end it.

2026-05-30 Ca***** Cool idea of an app but if you’re using the app to automatically track your flights and notify your friends when you fly it will kill your phone battery. If they can fix the battery drain issue it would be an awesome app

2026-05-27 N1***** Great App! Helps my family keep track of me since my aircraft don’t have a public ID. As well, fun to share flights with other fellow pilots.
