Pros and cons of Encyclopedia of Airliners app for iPhone and iPad

Encyclopedia of Airliners app good for

Needs some updates cause it keeps crashing , and also its really interesting! Update the app for newer airplanes and need more pics :)
It is a great app, very interesting and useful but could use some updates so it doesnt crash. Worth the money though
It is very good for modern aircraft and it is fun to use and usefull for plane spotting.

Some bad moments

The idea is good but content very limited. For the moment, the app should have been free. Please add aircraft quickly because a lot are missing as regional jet Embraer, Canadair, ATR or MDs etc... It need an option to personalize unit as Meter in Feet, Km in Nm which are usually used in aero. Need more pictures, you will not be able to make the difference between A/C with the one presented. Data missing in comparison as range between A320 and B737...
This is actually a really cool app. It would be better if it also had the seating charts of each plane
This app is really nice. Good comparison between aircraft. Recommend it.
Has all info of airliners and when i emailed them they replied and fixed the issue!
This is more like a "lite" or free app. They dont even have the 707, 727, or L1011. Would it been that hard to start at the beginning of the passenger jet age? Id say, save your money. Its not worth $2.00
I would like to see a wider variety of planes and more pictures but it looks good as a start. Look forward to the updates
