HOW SURE ARE WE
Not in any grossing chart, so this comes from ratings growth (0.8 new ratings a month on average since launch): revenue grows with new ratings, more slowly for apps that collect ratings fast. Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2 times, and big earners tend to come out low. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • As a CFII, I thought this app would be great for practice for my students but it turns out that the Entries are wrong for the turns. 1★, Apr 18, 2026
  • I wish I had found this app before. 5★, Oct 30, 2025
  • Their tutorial section should include more methods than just the one way of doing it. 4★, Jul 10, 2021
  • I don't even need a pen or paper anymore, not to mention all the $$$ I saved not having to practice in flight! 5★, Feb 6, 2020
  • Wish there were more instructions with radials than bearings, since those seem to be more common in the real world, but it's good to practice with both instructions. 5★, Jun 15, 2018
  • Also, it would be great if the visual aid showed you the heading to fly for the outbound teardrop correction or the inbound parallel correction. 5★, Jun 15, 2018
  • My only suggestion would be to have a setting that turns bearing type holds on and off. 5★, Aug 11, 2012
  • I wish the app was more than just that though. 5★, Jun 19, 2012

★★★★★ The app was extremely helpful for me in learning the pen method as well as drawing the hold.

★★★★★ Perfect app for quick practice to make hold entries second nature.
★★★★★ After doing this for about 30 or so minutes I started getting these fairly quick.
★★★★★ But i just skipped the NDB part....long story short I became fast and confident in calculating my holds and entries just by practicing a few minutes everyday with this app.

Ap overall

Does a good job at explaining the process. When you get one wrong there should be an explanation as to why it was wrong so you can learn how to do it better.

Wrong Entries

As a CFII, I thought this app would be great for practice for my students but it turns out that the Entries are wrong for the turns. I do not recommend.

★★★★★Mar 11, 2026
This app has mistakes!

I even sent an email to the developer and they did not respond. I have decided they know and dont want to fix this. The practice screen seems ok, but then the plan view is incorrect. It has wasted valuable time. Do not purchase!

★★★★★Oct 30, 2025
Best Holding pattern trainer

Excellent tool. I wish I had found this app before. After battling with different methods. This has been the best , and easiest for me to learn about holdings and holding entries

Wrong answers

At first I taught myself through this app, but soon realized after watching several YouTube videos and getting CFI instruction I realized this app is drawing the direct, teardrop, and parallel entries in the wrong directions. They’re slicing the fix completely wrong which has caused me so much confusion. I am having to unlearn some things.

★★★★★May 15, 2025
This will improve your Holds

This app is an amazing tool to practice constructing holds. Simple yet very effective. I’d highly recommend it to anyone learning IFR

What's new in 1.4.0

- Improved ATC instructions - Removed setting to allow "TO" holdings over VORs

Released Aug 16, 2011. Current version shipped Jun 16, 2024.

Store description

Save time and money on your instrument flight training by mastering IFR holding pattern entries at the comfort of your own mobile device. Make IFR flight training easier! Is the following scenario familiar? You receive a holding clearance from ATC, and only have a couple of minutes, sometimes only a few seconds, to choose the correct entry. By the time you've figured out what's going on, you've already passed the holding fix and don't know what to do next. If this sounds familiar, then you need not to worry. Confusion during holding entries happens to practically almost every new instrument student. Even instrument-rated pilots occasionally have the same problem — when they don't get enough practice. Holding Trainer solves this problem and as a result, cuts the time you have to spend on expensive flight and ground lessons. With Holding Trainer, you can practice on your own time and convenience, so that choosing the best holding entry in the air becomes a breeze. Features: -Entry Trainer - Drills you on choosing the best holding entry. Practice until choosing holding entries becomes second nature and impress your flight instructor with your skills. -Holding calculator. Solve and visualize any holding scenario by entering your current bearing to the fix and a outbound or inbound holding radial. -Holding tutorial - learn how to choose the best holding entry quickly and easily. Holding Trainer for iOS is a complete rewrite based on my popular Flash-based desktop Holding Trainer app available on pilotscafe.com. ***Don't get "stuck" next time you receive a holding pattern clearance!*** ---------------------------------- For only a fraction of the cost of one ground lesson with your flight instructor, you can practice this important instrument skill at your own pace and save hundreds of Dollars on figuring out holding entries in the air. This is a great tool for anyone training towards their instrument checkride, CFII, proficiency check, or simply trying to improve their holding patterns. ----------------------------------
