Runs very well on my Samsung S6 Lite. I use it for charts, to file flight plans, and moving map. It's easy on battery (2 hr flight with display on and still plenty of battery). Weight and balance was a little difficult the first time I entered numbers for the plane I usually fly, but got it figured out. Only thing missing is performance calculations like takeoff distance for density altitude. Weather decoding would be nice, too, but there are plenty of other apps for that.

My instructor recommended it while I was completing my IPC. I'm a long time round dial and paper charts pilot. I still carry paper charts with me, but this is very cool. I like the geolocation feature on the approach charts, the VFR sectional is cool too, and I like entering my IFR clearance in the flight pad. Haven't tried out the weight and balance yet but I'm about to.

I have been using DroidEFB for several years. It's the best Android aviation app out there. The support has been great the few times I've needed it. Great app!

I find it annoying that you can't add a user waypoint if there is a "fixed point or airport" nearby

I have used this app for years, and I have tried other aviation nav apps. DroidEFB is the best.
