Been using Garmin Pilot for close to 2 years now. I haven't experienced the crashes or bugginess that others have reported, but I was very disappointed that the Android version doesn't offer all the same features that the Apple version does. Android users pay the same rates the Apple users do, we should have all the same features. I'm an Apple hater, but I'm considering an iPad so I can get access to everything.

The app randomly crashed, occasionally gave me taxi diagrams for airports other than what I've selected, and would sometimes miss showing NOTAMs for approaches on the instrument approach plates. The interface seemed somewhat unpolished too. Some menu items were cut off the screen, parts of the interface seemed to be a mix of old/new, etc. Even trying to add checkpoints by dragging and holding on my course line was buggy half the time. This was on a Z Fold 6—so it's not an underpowered device.

I've used this app for years, as I'm an Android user, and while it's never as smooth and easy as foreflight it's been excellent. However, a few months? ago it completely stopped saving my pilot profile and other things, which breaks half the functionality unless you enter it every single time you want to do anything. For example you can't get a briefing or file a flight plan unless you re-enter your pilot information every. single. time. It's made it borderline useless for planning.

Garmin Pilot is a comprehensive aviation application that allows pilots to plan, file, fly and log with ease.
Garmin Pilot is the most comprehensive suite of tools for Android designed specifically for general aviation and corporate pilots. Flight planning, filing, charts, interactive maps, weather briefing resources and navigation capabilities; it’s all included. The app’s intuitive interface mirrors those on the newest Garmin touchscreen avionics so you can go seamlessly from preflight to inflight. Plan, file, fly with Garmin Pilot.
Plan
Garmin Pilot’s powerful capabilities start with pre-flight planning, providing pilots with the most comprehensive aviation weather information to make better-informed flight decisions. Pilots can check NEXRAD radar, visible and infrared cloud imagery, METARs, TAFs, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, PIREPs, NOTAMs, winds and temperature aloft, PIREPs, TFRs and lightning data. With Garmin Pilot, data can be displayed over a VFR sectional or an IFR low or high en-route chart to visualize the weather for your route. Add text-based weather widgets and use the exclusive NavTrack feature to view weather along the planned route.
File
With Garmin Pilot, users can easily enter a flight plan. Pre-loaded forms make it quick to save and reuse data for frequently flown routes. And when the flight plan is ready, Garmin Pilot makes it simple to file, cancel or close the flight plan.
Fly
Garmin Pilot provides full en-route navigation capability on its moving map, while showing ETE, ETA, cross track error, distance to waypoint and current position.
Log
Garmin Pilot includes a comprehensive electronic logbook that syncs with flyGarmin. The logbook automatically generates entries based upon GPS data collected during the flight, tracks currency, supports manual entries, endorsements and creates reports.
