Remaining time tweak needed
By SirBowser (Pcmac user)
Really like the this app app. Came in handy when our aircraft’s Airshow System broke. Glad that one can airplay it from an iPhone to an Apple TV, but would like to see Passenger app available on the Apple TV too in the future.
Minor complaint - the Remaining time and ETA are not accurate during initial climb out, when re-routed nor on radar vectors to final. On climbout it initially indicated 11+ hours remaining time shortly after takeoff (for our 5 hour flight). Once at cruising altitude/speed, the remaining time and ETA got more accurate (within 15 minutes of our aircraft FMS remaining time). During re-route, Remaining time grew to an hour off before I thought about using the Direct To feature on the app then re-pushing the data from the app to Passenger app manually. During approach phase, the Remaining time indicated 8 minutes remaining abeam the airport, but the time grew higher as we were vectored to the other side of the airport to intercept a 10 mile final. Even though we eventually flew the final approach track loaded in the app, the Remaining time kept increasing (to 31 minutes remaining on a 5 mile final to land) before I turned the app off.
Passengers commented they could see E-mail pop-ups on the Passenger app screen.

Nice addition
By Todd in Boise (Pcmac user)
Innovative lunch and application that meets a specific need. Giving it five stars for the idea. Love the simplicity and how you kept the layout clean from clutter. There are a couple of improvements that you might consider for the next update. My wife is constantly asking me what’s that road, what’s that town, what’s that mountain, or what’s that lake. It be nice for her to have layers on the map that she could look up that information first hand. Also, It would be nice to be able to send an invite within the app for people to download Passenger directly without having to search for it.

Really cool experience for passengers
By Yo dog 33 (Pcmac user)
This app rocks but I think something that would be cool is a way to On the main the app app be able to send notifications to the passengers. Such as sometimes I’m isolated do to a lot of distractions in the cockpit but if we can control messages to the passenger app that would be amazing. Also a way to have a seatbelt sign would be really cool that we can control on the main the app app.
