PILOTS - Don't pass this one up!! Put this app on your android tablet or phone, down load the maps, and you'll always have a FREE backup to Fore Flight or Garmin Pilot. Where else can you get a backup nav app for FREE? I've used this app for VFR flying many years and never had a problem with it. It's easy to get chart downloads and updates. it's intuitive and takes absolutely no time to learn. Give it a try and if you don't like it just uninstall it and you've lost nothing.

Avare is a great free product/app for pilots looking for a navigation app with all the features found in other products that you would otherwise have to pay for. Traffic alert, weather info, maps for vfr and ifr, plates, supplemental info, and many many other features exist within the Avare app. I am able to plan a flight, and it also has filing capability although I have not tried filing a plan there yet. To appreciate what the Avare app has to offer each pillot needs to try it for themselves.

This is a great go to when I don't have my iPad with my Garmin GPS. For a free app., it does all my basic needs. Once I configured to my screen with the options I like, it gives me most of the info. I need. I used this the other day in the back of my friends RV8. There are no instruments back there, and I was able to navigate with approximate airspeed, altitude and stay clear of airspaces with Avare. Since he did not have any ADSB equipment, my iPad was worthless, so this worked like a charm.

A very powerful and free navigation / flight planning software. Only complaint is that it has an "open source feel" meaning that there is a lot of stuff to use but it can be slightly confusing. I used this on a 600nm trip and it worked great. Just make sure to keep the app up to date and download whatever sectionals you need before your trip. The last big selling point is that you can use it out of cell range. You won't get real-time data other than location, but nav and saved data works great.

I have an Android tablet that is so lame that is can not be used for internet however it works great for the Avare map app. I practiced using the app on my living room couch until I learned how to use well. Then today I used it in flight. It is awesome to use. I had low clouds so I had to fly low so finding all tall structures and antenna towers was necessary for safety. The map can be made larger easily so you don't miss the details bouncing around in the rough air. There is a dashed line that shows your future track and I turned on the distance circles which stay around the aircraft while you travel so you can see how far you are away from that tall radio tower. If you forget what runways are at your destination airport just look at your map and you will see the red arrows that not only show the direction of the runway but the number of each.. I am still learning to use it but so far this program is the best. I do have paper charts for a back up but this beats paper hands down. Try opening and refolding a map in a 24 inch wide cockpit is no fun. Thank you for making this product. It has for sure improved the safety of my flying.

I really like the app. I've been using it for 2 years now. Today I added a Stratux receiver to give me traffic on it. Only problem is that as of the last update, any time I open a different window on my device it loses all of the data and have to reenter the flight plan. Hope they fix it quickly. Edit: Thanks for the update! Solved the restart problem!
