User Reviews
Anyone else having issues with stories intermittently not allowing you to scroll past the initial page? On iPhone 13 with latest iOS.
Simon's info is great. I'm happy to support his reporting because most aviation "experts" are anything but. The interface could use some improvements. If you click on comments, you'll see nothing. You need to click it a second time to see any.
It's a wonderful native app that displays the latest news and info without having to run Safari. Best of all, it supports Simon and his excellent website providing the latest news on the happenings of aviation incidents and accidents. The content is always updated daily with new fresh incidents - and continuous updates to older ones, final accident report releases and such. It's a very fair price to pay for the value I receive as an aviation nerd on the latest incidents and events. Also, the comments are often helpful though highly speculative. At any rate: it's an invaluable resource. While you can get it for free on your iPhone web browser, the native app makes things much simpler, and supports the operating costs of the site. So, Bravo! Thank you Simon Hradecky for all your hard work, and I'm glad I have the opportunity to support you in this manner - while you add value to me.
I was Leary of the cost, but realized how inexpensive it is given the content. I will be donating monthly as well. Thanks, Simon
Decided to buy the app, mostly to show my support for Simon!!! His thrive for accuracy and informing the public should be applauded and supported!!! I'd like to see the app show each item including the pictures (and maybe videos), plus comments on one page; like the web site, rather than pressing a button. The flight path and maybe airport diagrams, approach plates could be optional via a button. Also, I'd recommend to have the app save email and nickname for comments (unless it already does). Keep up the great work! Cheers, Tom
AV Herald is the best source for commercial aviation accident/incident. I hope this APP keep being developed and updated.
I am an aviation herald fan and although 13 dollars is steep I think it's a great contribution to the site and Simon's work. Everyone should download this app! It also works great and is better than the website!
Keep it up Simon
