What to look for in a weight & balance app

Every pilot's needs differ. Weigh reliability and offline capability first — an app that works at non-towered fields with spotty cell service is worth more than one that has every feature but needs five bars to load. Past that, look at how each app fits into the rest of your flight bag: the best tool is the one you actually reach for.
