Avare (pronounced "ah vAir" - like "aware" with a "v") is a free moving-map Aviation GPS & EFB app.
*Note: Internet access is required only for installing the free app, aviation Database, and at least 1 of the free charts; and for any updates. We recommend that you TURN OFF Play Store AUTOMATIC UPDATE for Avare, manually update it and all Downloads, then fly in Airplane Mode to save battery.

Avare offers offline moving map on all FAA charts (VFR Sectional, IFR lo/hi enroute, Approach Plate, WAC & TAC); plus A/FD info, Airport Diagrams w/GPS Taxi, and Terminal Procedures. Also: GPS status, Terrain/Elevation Maps, 50 Nearest airports, Obstacles, and more. Some FAA Charts cover Puerto Rico, plus parts of Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean. All of this is Completely Free with no ads.
*Note: Like all apps for portable devices, Avare is not FAA certified for primary navigation but may be used as outlined in FAA documents. See our NOTICE below, and the FAQ on our website for links to FAA documents.

After installing Avare, please use the Help feature to begin. New features are being added very quickly in response to user feedback, and may not be reflected in this Description page.

Great app, I would like it if had a possibility to use foreign charts (like pdf format), even if they had to be manually geotagged. Another detail is that I can't usually get very good info from the weather section and I would like to see a winds aloft reference that would work, also some more about cloud layers. But again, great app! After all if it got too much better it might start drawing flak from the big money company(s)!

I wish it were available for iPad. I actually use Avare almost exclusively. The caveat being I'm not a professional and my needs are very simple. I can foresee needing more in the future. 90% of this app is actually better (and less clumsy) than foreflight or Garmin Pilot. But a few issues and limitations might force me to change apps someday. That other 10% which IS clumsy is really distracting. In the meantime highly recommended

I use this as a backup for VFR flight on my phone if I forget my iFly tablet at home. Cannot imagine anyone using it for instrument flight though. (Can't load approaches.) I prefer the original Avare UI to that of AvareX. Would recommend this efb for any student pilot in primary training who wants to save $80/year on an EFB. A far cry from iFly.

Awful. I just want to be able to download & view charts. Completely unintuitive, hours invested and cannot even see a plate or taxi chart for a single airport.
