Aero Tour - Inflight Map + Guide at Mac App Store analyse

The app does not account for jet routes or restricted airspace. It assumes a straight line from airport to airport. Would be more accurate if it actually planned routes the way airlines did.

Application determines a lot of incorrect locations. Tried it for two routes in Mexico and it determined, as being along the route, many locations mentioned in their description as being actually located in Spain, Portugal or South America. Worthless as it is!

This couldve been a nice app but a number of development decisions were made that prevented that from happening. Theres no directions or guidance of any kind. Finding airports is easy but after that youre presented with a map and a line that indicates your travel path. Theres geographic markers along the route but mostly theyre just city names. Tapping one takes to a Wikipedia-like description of that city. Uh...ok. Theres no prompting to do anything next, no overview of what the buttons or icons mean. I sat there for a bit waiting for sometime, anything to happen. If they put more thought into the user experience, this app could be much better. The way it is now you should just pass it buy and continue looking for something better.

App crashes every time I try to put in my departure city.

The app relies on wikipedia which can be not very accurate. It is not worth the price for sure unless they work on their own database of places. I advise trying while it is offered for free.

Drawing a straight line on a flat map results in gross errors as to the real flight path over a curved surface; and there is no way to alter the straight line to conform to the actual path, so most points of interest shown are way out of sight almost immediately.
