Pilot checklist apps compared.
Most iPad checklist apps for pilots are built around an aircraft type: pick a Cessna or a King Air and run its procedures. CrewCheck is built around the duty day instead, for pilots who want their own checklists next to Zulu block times and a crew rest calculator, in Slide Over beside the EFB.
We make CrewCheck, so read this with that in mind. Everything about the other apps comes from their own App Store listings as of 10 November 2026. Check each listing for what's current.
| App | Price | What its listing leads with |
|---|---|---|
| CrewCheck | Free, optional Pro | Your own checklists by phase, Zulu block times, crew rest calculator, Slide Over beside the EFB, fully offline, no account. |
| CrossCheck Checklists | Free, optional Pro | A clean checklist that highlights the current item, split-screen beside your EFB, editing from a web browser with Pro. |
| FlightCheck: Pilot Checklist | Free, in-app purchases | Ready-made checklists for 25 aircraft from the Cessna 152 to the Phenom 300E, V-speeds from the POH, and a scratch pad. |
| Checklist for Pilots | Free, optional Pro | Import checklists from a PDF or a photo, voice readback, iCloud sync. Needs iPadOS 26 or later. |
| FlightDeck EFB | Free | A light EFB: checklists from templates, flight logging, METAR and TAF, and a notepad. |
| Pilot's Checklist | US$3.99 | Custom checklists side by side with your navigation app, with items you can flag as an issue. |
Which one suits you
Flying a light aircraft and want its checklist ready-made
An app with aircraft-type checklists, like FlightCheck, gets you going fastest. Check its list against your aircraft's POH.
Want to digitise a paper or PDF checklist
Checklist for Pilots leads with photo and PDF import. In CrewCheck you can paste text from a PDF and it splits into sections.
Flying multi-crew, long sectors or a full duty day
This is what CrewCheck is for: your own checklists by phase, off and on blocks in Zulu with local time and ETA at the destination, a crew rest calculator for two to six pilots, and multi-sector days, all in Slide Over beside the EFB.
Want a whole EFB, not just checklists
FlightDeck EFB adds weather and flight logging. Many crews already have an EFB from their operator, which is where a checklist app that sits in Slide Over earns its place.
What CrewCheck doesn't do
It doesn't ship aircraft-type checklists or POH data, it doesn't read checklists aloud, and there's no Android version or cloud sync. It's for iPhone and iPad, and your lists stay on your device.
Your operator's approved checklists and SOPs always come first. A personal checklist supports them. It never replaces a normal checklist, the QRH, or anything your operator requires.
