What customers say about VOR Tracker

Awesome! (UPT Student) ★★★★★
by AeroAstroGeek – 25.04.2019

This app excellent! I don’t need to book a practice sim and waste setup time just to practice holdings and arc/course intercepts. I can just hop on this app when I have free time and practice on my own. I made an in-app purchase for the EHSI to practice for my T-6A sims. If you’re a visual learner like me and are having trouble grasping instrument concepts, this app is a must!

Alex Alexandrakis – 04.04.2019
★★★★★

I LOVE this app. I am an IR rated atpl pilot and I can honestly tell you that by practicing with this app, keeps my instrument skills sharp and in fact it has increased my confidence to another level to the point that it now takes me only a few seconds at looking at a VOR or RMI instrument and having a full situational awareness of where I am, where I need to go and how to best achieve this. The app is fully flexible and you can even set up your own local procedure to practice those upcoming test

Great help for instrument module ★★★★★
by Aferg_3 – 04.04.2019

Currently starting my SEIR and this app has made it easy to practice NDB DME arcs and VOR arcs and interceptions. Great help.

Excellent ★★★★★
by Tim Ts. – 08.03.2019

It’s a very handy tool to practice holding patterns, VOR and DME procedure.
Exellent and good job!

Perfect app, simple to use but very comprehensive.
Very good jon!

Very helpful ★★★★★
by Benzh – 15.01.2019

Thank you. This has been an excellent learning aide and refresher. I can’t imagine how much air work this has avoided.

Update: I don’t think I have ever added an update to a review. This app is so helpful. I’m now doing my multi engine and will do an IPC. This great for getting back up to speed without setting foot in the airplane. My only wish is that the developers add more features. Like full approaches, including an ILS. Best software purchase I have ever made. Sincere thanks.

Don’t agree with the few low star reviewers. ★★★★★
by “Apostle” – 11.01.2019

This app has great ratings, but prior to purchasing I noticed a few bad ones. It was clear the few negative reviewers seem to suffer from either lack of aptitude or crappy phone/tablet syndrome. If you can’t operate this app I suggest not Pursuing a career in aviation. I am a relatively low time pilot and have been out of Instrument currency for over ten years. My current job involves training of Military Pilots and Combat Systems Officers in a VFR program. I have 4500 hours of flight time of which over half is Part 121 flag. I have been considering going back to the airlines and was trying to brush up on VOR orientation and holding. I happened to come across this app and I’m glad I did. Simply put, it’s AMAZING, simple and intuitive, a great way to refresh or build basic VOR procedures. Definitely worth the money.

Exzellent Traine ★★★★★

I’ve looked for an app like this for a while now… Super simple way to get a good understanding of Holds, Arcs, and more! Well done!

Good for training. ★★★★★
by I’m no critic, but… – 02.12.2018

Getting IFR training. This simple app is amazing. With simple controls, I can intercept VOR headings, and practice hold patterns wherever I have a few minutes. Saves me a lot of fuel and instructor time.

app. Very very nice.

Excellent ★★★★★
by matthewwong – 09.07.2018

This app is simply excellent! If you have a few free minutes you can study and improve your VOR skills. The app simplifies things for example you only worry about two dimensions and there’s only standard rate turns which allow you to focus on what actually matters without distraction. I used to use x plane to practice but this app lets you practice on your mobile device and in short time slots this increasing your knowledge.

Perfect for Airline Sim selection prep ★★★★★
by George A Wilson – 06.06.2018

I used this app to prepare myself for a sim assessment which required only VOR tracking through needles for navigation. This app allowed me to practice tracking, holding and intercepts from all directions and distances. I like that you can choose different wind scenarios and aircraft speeds.

The option to view a map of what you’ve done is a very good feature for learning, it helped me a lot.

My only feedback for improvement would be to add more content on how to specific hold entries or deal with wind corrections. The app does have some, but more content would optimise the app.

Very instructive app

Bart Bosdijk – 24.02.2017

Works great for your situational awareness. It says upfront it will not teach you how to intercept or train your entire scan. It is an absolute great tool for the already trained pilot to review your holding and intercept skills. For the occasional grading….

Great aid for IFR students ★★★★★
by walking bat – 21.02.2017

I am an IFR student, and this app allows me to practice skills while away from my flight simulator, so I am studying harder thanks to this app. My instructor has noticed a big difference since I started using it.

Chanawee Suthibutr – 22.12.2015
★★★★★

Perfect for maintaining instrument proficiency I use this app to both teach students about instrument navigation and to maintain my own proficiency. The app has an extra option of buying an EHSI which is worth the money paid. What sets this app apart from others is the customizeable scenarios that can provide endless opportunities. I use said option to set up IAPs and practice “flying” them on my tablet. My only request is perhaps the addition of an old school VOR indicator to use in conjunction with basic instrument navigation courses. 5 stars!!

Awesome ★★★★★
byAux844 – 09.12.2015

Really nice app, with the 2.0 versione it’s even better! Arc dme and double Vor crossing. The must have app for every student pilots ! I’m getting my instrument and commercial! And this app give the chance to training so well with holding and DME arc. 10+

One word: Beautiful ★★★★★
by Serge787 – 06.12.2015

The only problem I found is with the RMI during a roll to either side the app becomes slugish so it becomes difficult to be precise exiting the turn to a specific heading. The EHSI is a must.

Finally it’s here
Thank you guys, the new app it’s amazing!!!

Use this before you train IFR with the hobbs running! ★★★★★
by Fretboard Approach – 26.11.2015

I took a chance on this app about a month ago. The developer has been very interested and helpful when I had asked for assistance. I’ve kept half my head in the clouds ever since I had to stop mid IFR training in 2002. Along with a light but regular simulation habit to feed the aviation monkey, I’ve tried and bought several “visualizer” IFR apps to keep my lateral navigation skills going should I get a chance to resume training. I’ve gotten more out of VOR Tracker in a month than all the others combined. I bought VOR Tracker as a holding re-education tool. By that measure, it paid for itself the day I bought it. I learned by zeroing the wind and hitting the pause button a lot. Since then, it honed my hold entry skills beyond where they were when I was actually flying! I don’t need to pause anymore. To the contrary, I can visualize and plan the hold with airspeed maxed out at 230 and with fast mode engaged (<2x clock speed) with time to spare before reaching the fix. What a confidence booster! It’s effective because the most demanding cognitive tasks occur during a minute fraction of the time it takes to practice holding in the real world. VOR Tracker may not be marketed as a traditional “flight sim.” True, it’s not fully controllable. User input is limited to a count up timer and the ability choose level flight or to toggle a realistic rate of roll into or out of a standard rate turn. I would argue it is a simulator. The limitation of user controls are DELIBERATE and come from THE MIND OF A TALENTED AND PASSIONATE CFII. Every mission restart, starts with a needed turn toward the fix and finite time to figure out what to do upon arrival. In the time it takes to play a game of solitaire, you can challenge yourself to a hold with enough time to enter it, and figure out the wind until your inbound leg lasts one minute!

by Emiratesson – Version – 1.2 – Dec 9, 2014

Thank you for this great app! It really helped my learn more about holdings and interception and made them really easy in a way that my IFR training was butter smooth!! I really recommend this app to student pilots in both theory or flying phase of training. It is a great help and will make you visualize and understand the procedure very well! Thank you and hope to see more stuff in the future from you!

Excellent IFR sim ★★★★★
by Aleksejs05 – Version – 1.2 – Dec 7, 2014

VOR Tracker is a very good simulator for experienced pilots and beginners to practice raw data flying of IFR procedures. You have an option to create your own missions or use existing ones. User friendly interface and simple to use. Highly recommended! Great value for money.

Great idea! ★★★★★
by Unhappy Pilot – Version – 1.2 – Dec 6, 2014

I bought this after getting a bit rusty with radial interceptions and hold entry’s and this app is brilliant! It’s really easy to use and had me back up to speed in no time. Even with the sophisticated aircraft systems we use nowadays it’s nice to know you can still revert back to basics of you need to! I think it would be great practice for anyone studying for their IR or perhaps an airline assessment sim. Looking forward to the new features in the next update!

Mohammad Ali – 29.10.2014

Great work guys!
This application really helped me learn holding patterns and VOR intercepts almost instanlltly that made my IFR training a piece of cake! I am happy that you will be adding NDB and the heading bug too! It would be great as well if you added manual turning or a little bit shorter turning time to establish the standard rate, it is a little bit difficult to apply small fixes when intercepting. Other than that, thanks to you for building this basic understanding of one aspect of my flying career!

Superb ★★★★★
by tobyburraston – Version – 1.2 – Oct 24, 2014

An excellent app for pilots both in training and flying professionally. Easy to understand and use, with clear explanations and display presentation. Would benefit from a second VOR/ADF bearing needle for the HSI mode to truly reflect a modern airliner EHSI. Recommended!

Great app for both amateurs and professionals ★★★★★
by a_wareing – Version – 1.2 – Oct 16, 2014

VOR Tracker is a very nicely designed app that works well on both my iPhone 6 and iPad Air running iOS8. The layout is great and the app is intuitive with brief instructions that keep it simple to use. The main content of the app includes training for both holding and interception of radials in the form of “missions” and the ability to manually create your own by modifying inbound course and wind. The developers have also catered for both ends of aviations by allowing you to choose between using an RMI or an HSI, and select aircraft speeds between 90kt (props) and 180kt (jet). All in all, I highly recommend this app for new pilots training for their instrument rating and also for qualified pilots flying on the line. As an Airbus pilot, it would have been great to have had this app whilst i was training and I now find myself practicing with it for that occasion when the automatics might fail!

Ben Duitsland – 21.09.2014

Awesome app!
This app is great for understanding the basics in instrument holding. Please add the option for a heading bug and bearing pointer to the HSI! This would interest more people and broaden the market looking for this type of training aid. Keep up the good work.

VOR awesome ★★★★★
by LtCol H. – Version 1.2 – Aug 5, 2014

Crack open a book and learn about VORs, intercepts, and holding patterns, first. If you don’t know the academics then you will be lost even with a working VOR. This app will cement the concepts! Perfect for the IFR student pilot and the seasoned IFR pilot. Better than any stupid mind numbing game you might being playing, now. You could be honing your pilot skills with this app instead. Might be one of the better aviation app I have purchased.

Best Navaid app available ★★★★★
by Suggestion – Version 1.2 – Aug 1, 2014

This is the best navaid available in the app store. The developer has great customer service via e-mail and is actively improving the app (DME ARC should be available in a future update). It focuses solely in the IFR flight with simple controls and great layout. Very user friendly and easy to use. Great for any pilot, from the beginner to the experienced pilot. It is great to practice flying raw data and to keep your skills sharp in a easy to use app.

Great app!! ★★★★★
by French pilot320 – Version 1.2 – May 2, 2014

Thanks a lot! Very easy to use. As a pilot on the Airbus I find it usefull not to forget the basics especially before a sim check where raw data flying is required. Definitely recommand it for IR student!

Works as advertised ★★★★★
by FlightView – Version 1.0 – Feb 24, 2014

This app does exactly what the developer says it does. It is simple and efficient to use and fulfills its purpose. It works well as a tool to practice and review VOR holdings and tracking, can be useful when a PC is not around.

Excellent! ★★★★★
by F27M50 – Version 1.0 – Feb 14, 2014

Vor tracker is a superb app,not just for student pilots but also handy to brush up on all experience levels! Nice Graphics & no bugs,definately worth your money!

Ideal trainer for all IFR pilots ★★★★★
by Peter3657 – Version 1.0 – Feb 13, 2014

Exactly according to the description, VOR-Tracker is the ideal training tool for the basic IFR skills of flying and calculating a holding pattern, it’s entry and intercepting radials. Being an airline pilot for several years, I use it to keep my skills up. Modern commercial aircraft are capable of managing those tasks automatically. But to my opinion a pilot should always be able to solve these tasks. A few minutes with this App now and then, will keep your skills up to date.
