Available exclusively to AOPA members, AOPA GO delivers essential flight planning tools—AOPA Airports Directory, AOPA Weather and a select set of AOPA Flight Planning features in the palm of your hand.
AOPA GO is a convenient pre-flight planning tool, allowing pilots to search the industry’s most comprehensive airport directory; create, edit and file flight plans; and check a diverse gallery of aviation weather charts. Best of all, AOPA GO syncs all pilot information, aircraft profiles, flight plans, and user waypoints with the AOPA Flight Planner. Large text and different color themes makes the information easy to read in all lighting conditions. Whether you plan your flight at your desk or on the ramp, you’re covered with AOPA.

AOPA Airports Directory
AOPA GO uses your device’s physical location to identify the nearest airports, heliports, and seaplane bases. You can see all the most critical information about each at first glance or drill down to more detailed information with a single tap of the screen. The app also allows you to search for an airport by name, ident, or location and save your favorites for quick access. All the information you need about an airport is readily available—from communications and operations to fuel providers and other services available on the field and nearby.

AOPA Weather Charts
AOPA GO Weather is designed to provide “best of breed” aviation weather information by compiling the best sources available into one resource. With information and images from Jeppesen, Aviation Digital Data Service (ADDS), and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), pilots get a complete picture of the weather that could affect their flight. Quickly review the METARs and TAFs closest to your location right on the main Weather screen, or choose from a gallery of national or regional weather chart images. You can also see current and forecast weather conditions along your route of flight using the Route Weather feature. Adverse weather conditions are color-coded based on severity to be more noticeable on METAR and TAF reports.

AOPA Flight Planning, powered by Jeppesen
No matter if you are creating a new flight plan from scratch, or pulling up a saved route to file for flight, AOPA GO has you covered. Built on the same powerful Jeppesen flight planning engine as the AOPA Flight Planner, the app allows you create, edit, and file flight plans and get a weather briefing using CSRA DUATS or Leidos Flight Service. Users of the AOPA Flight Planner can also include any of their saved user-defined waypoints in a flight plan.

Latest reviews of AOPA GO app for iPhone and iPad

Flawed...
Have tried to download the data files on an iPad and new iPhone from 3 different wifi sources, one being 20 MbPS, and cant get dowloads to work.
Doesnt work
I keep getting an unable to connect to network error even though I am connected to the Internet and other apps are able to use the network.
Nice app but some flaws
It needs to remember me...I hate having to log on *every* time I go to use the app...or at least use touch-id! Also, it often says there is no network connectivity when there is.
No helicopter profiles available.
Ive been a member of AOPA for many years. I usually like their products. However, their APPs are never set up for helicopters. Why not? The helicopter industry is huge. Again, this new App has failed to allow for all types of aircraft. I even tried to create my own aircraft profile. It didnt work. I fly instrument flights in helicopters every day. Would it kill you to put in a profile for a B206, or an S70? Two stars from the helicopter community!
OK First Effort
I spent a day and a half out flying around on business and exploring the app, pretty neutral on first impressions. Reminds me of one of those upgrades touting a new "clean, crisp, minimalist display" which translates into way too much white space, difficult to quickly and easily pick out the information you are looking for with poor color and font choices only an 18 year old with 20/10 vision can easily read. Not fond of the weather format either, took some looking to pick out what I was looking at. I can get used to that with more use but the competition doesnt seem to require any effort. Improve the readability and consider a night mode and my rating would go up.
