Chief Pilot

Ive been using iBal now for a couple of years and have nothing but good things to say about it. Mike and the team at Airspayce are super accommodating when it comes to updating iBal with new aircraft types or configurations and are quick to fix any bugs that may be discovered. Thanks very much to the team at iBal for creating and supporting the best weight and balance program for helicopter pilots.

Amazing with the new AS350s update!

Makes calculations on the fly a breeze!

Rock star W&B app!

This app goes above and beyond in every way. Make life easy on yourself and download this app asap! There is not a more user friendly, efficient interface on the market than ibal rotary. Aircraft not on the list?? No worries! The customer service is responsive, friendly and very accommodating. The staff added an airframe for us in a very timely manner. Our team could not be happier with this product, thanks ibal rotary! We look forward to utilizing you for years to come.

Very simple, bad design, not worth the money

A pitty I cant give zero stars...

Love it!

Great way to store multiple profiles and answer a customers questions on the fly - excuse the pun...

An Asset

Ive been using this app for 6 months have found it to be accurate and intuitive. Any issues that I have had were answered via email very quickly by the ibal support team. The list of choppers in ibal certainly exceeds my needs. Once my individual choppers W&B are installed the dynamic roll inputs are very easy. The updates have been appropriate usually dealing with small bugs which have been deep in the background. Definitely a recommend for any helicopter pilot. Im now looking for a fixed wing version..... Fly safe.

Very useful tool!

Well thought out app. I like the illustrated load page with the ability to drag weights to different stations; the chimes when you enter a weight that is overweight or puts you into out of CofG; the ability to add additional data such as cycles and other operational info. If I had one complaint, it would be the PDF / printed page. Can you simplify the final page into one page including the load data & longitudinal graph? It would be 5 stars in my opinion if that one complaint was redesigned.

Overpriced

Works, but not a good interface at all. Annoying sounds every time you swipe the screen. Not user friendly at all. Certainly hope you update with A LOT of improvements for the money that I paid for this app. Would not recommend unless the price comes down significantly or there are major improvements.

QA Flight Ops

Great app. Easy for all our pilots to use and developers are quick to add additional aircraft types for any supplemental equipment installed which may change arm locations (seats, etc.). Highly recommended.

Latest update

With the latest update to version 1.47, iBal Rotary now crashes every time on start up on my iPhone 4. Please fix it quick.

Ibal rotary

Ibal now crashes on my iphone 4 as well since latest update. Please fix ASAP.

Thanks iBal

Thanks to the iBal developers and support staff for an easy to use and well supported app. They have consistently provided excellent support for iBal which our company has used for several years to meet client requirements for documented weight and balance calculations for every flight. Thanks iBal staff, 5 stars.

Bailey pilot

Great simple and lightweight app makes weight and C of G calculations a breeze. Has never crashed or locked up on me in 3 plus years of using it. Does exactly what it says it will. Highly recommended.

Good app, great support

Very user-friendly app. Developers are open to suggestions and quick to make changes. Thanks again!

Great program

Been using ibal for years now and enjoy it. Makes life very easy with the ability to make custom load stations.

The best, bar none

I have used iBal for years and it is the best W&B program I have ever used, and that includes the ones I wrote myself. The speed and accuracy cannot be matched. The ability to individualize is unparalleled in my operating area. When I bring out iBal everyone just puts their computers away. There is simple no competition, there is a bunch of cheep stuff.

Needs to be cleaned up and updated...

Usually old and tired in the aviation industry means it needs to be revitalized or scrapped... This is a bare bones and somewhat annoying app. It does the job so functional it definitely is but... Technology has moved on and the $18 price tag here isnt value for money. Take some of that cash you made and put it towards making this a great app, for me its mediocre at best but could be better... Put yourself I the shoes of some that flies a lot of different aircraft all the time an not just 1... If you want specifics, get in touch.

Bad customer support

Good for the quick w&b checks between the dozen aircraft I fly. Math is sometimes wrong and the rounding of aircraft values is annoying. The worst thing is that I purchased it back when it was $7, when I finally got an iPad I was told by the developer that I had to purchase it again but for the new price of $18! No one should have to pay for an app they already purchased!

Awesome app for doing helicopter at and balance

Fantastic app!! Im a professional pilot (test Pilot) and am impressed by this app. Has every Helo model I fly in it, easy to use and accurate. Moreover, the app support is top notch...I had an issue with margins on the output...sent a message to the developers, who responded right away, fixed the problem and released a fix ASAP. IMPRESSIVE CUSTOMER SUPPORT!!

Just what we wanted!

Great support. They even added another variant of our model to help us out. Wow, that doesnt happen often! After setting up several customized stations I am able to quickly and easily reconfigure my weight and balance. Perfect item if you need to do this on a EMS scene flight. Its accuracy exceeds any resource I have yet to see. I will gladly promote this to my fellow helicopter pilots. A small price for keeping it simple in the cockpit.
