The app crashed right after I upgraded my iPad to iOS8.0.2 yet still worked flawlessly on my Android smartphone. I sent FltPlanGo an e-mail and within 5 minutes got this reply:

Our apologies for the problem.

Apple's new "Swift" code framework for iOS8.0.2 has a bug in it. This bug only affects iOS8 (and not iOS7). When an app is uploaded to Apple for review, the developer's code is being incorrectly compiled (built) by Apple's system. This is a known bug with Apple. Apple says they will have this fixed with a new release in the next few days.

In the meantime, please use our FltPlan Legacy app until the issue is resolved. You can download it by going to the App Store and searching fltplan.

In the future, please do not upgrade to any new iOS until it's been out there for at least 1 month. Apple does not necessarily make their new releases backwards compatible. Every airline and every major flight department prohibits their pilots from upgrading to a new Apple iOS system for at least 2 months (and usually longer). In addition, Apple can take 10-14 days to review, approve, and release any developer's apps that get updated.

Thanks,
Kristin

I guess I will wait until Apple fixes the issue. My smart phone is an Android device so I have been using the app on it without any problems.

New app now on iTunes.
Opens without crashing now. Trying to open A/FD (CFS) will crash it every time.

This is getting fun! FaultPlan Nogo

I just discovered the app and started using it on my Nexus 7 ... no issues so far, and all my favorite airports seem to be in the database including the CFS.

Default iflightplanner works fine with new ios

I havent had any issues using an older version of iplanner for the ipad with the IOS 8.0.X versions.
Fltplan Go, an excellent app (when worked), always had crashing and hanging issues for me, hence my moving over to the iflightplanner app the last few months.

Our problem up in the attic is the lack of Canadian charts. That's why we have been trying Fltplan Go.

App is crashing again when opening A/FD. It worked for a few weeks, but won't now. iOS 8.02.

Sigh

Anything new to report regarding Fltplan Go and ipad? Is it working any better now? Looking to buy an Ipad but trying to avoid two annual subscriptions (US and Can) just to get Canadian charts.

They just announced a bunch of upgrades for the iOS version, including approach and I think even taxi charts overlaid on the moving map, just like ForeFlight.

Here's the update: http://imageserver.fltplan.com/FltBr...16_Issue1.html

If you've decided to get an iPad anyway, just do it. It costs nothing to try FltPlanGo, if you give it a whirl and decide you don't like it, you can always delete it and buy ForeFlight instead.

Thanks Rob,

My thinking almost exactly. Foreflight requires Ipad as it won't run on Android if I remember correctly. If something else works better and cheaper I'm interested. I'm not married to Apple products.
