It's free, and does things way better than AOPA's disaster. They get back to you with issues as well.

Final Approach
The one on the web that they call FlyQWeb still draws a magenta line for me. I'm using a Mac with Firefox. If you're also using the one on the web, maybe you should try a different browser, or update flash, or something?
My issue with FlyQWeb is the NavLog -- that's the only part of FlyQWeb that I use nowadays, but they've dropped a feature from it that I liked: the frequency and morsecode for a VOR, if it's one of your waypoints.

Touchdown! Greaser!
Thanks,
I am using flyqweb. I was having the problem on my Ipad mini using IE and on my IPAD 2 using FireFox. But it worked on the IPAD 2 using Chrome.

That is nice. I had to jump a lot of hoops creating an account before I could try it, but once I did all that I liked it.
The printable Nav Log does provide the VOR info that's lacking at AOPA, but it lacks columns with blank space to use while in flight to write "actual" times and updated "estimated" times between waypoints. What do you do?

Filing Flight Plan
We've had a number of pilots ask about expanding the printable NavLog to include space to write in actual times enroute, so this addition is definitely on our radar...
To your point about the account setup process, there's now a green, "Try It Out!" button on the homepage that links to iFlightPlanner.com/Demo so first-time users do not need to create an account, aircraft profile, etc. while deciding if iFlightPlanner is right for them.
Best,

Cheat, and follow the magenta line 'o' death along with whatever my GPS tells me for time to next waypoint. I haven't printed off a navlog to carry in the plane since 2004.

How does an FAA certified aircraft fly without paper???

Or is that certificated? I am sure someone will be along to correct me!!!!!

Whoa....can't you die taking such shortcuts?!
Maybe it should be the magenta line o doom rather than the magenta line of death. Although on my one gps it is green.

Green is politically correct which aint Ed.

Pre-takeoff checklist
I use iflightplanner too and love it. I copy their navlog from the website and paste it into an Xcel spreadsheet. I add a column for the frequencies at each of the airports I use as waypoints. I include the ATIS/AWOS frequencies as well as tower/unicom frequencies and ATC approach frequencies. Then I print the navlog out and I have nav and communications back up information in case my tablet crashes. When using the website for iflightplanner, I love the feature that let's you see your route over a Google map background in addition to the option for sectional or enroute IFR chart depictions. The weather overlays are pretty amazing too. I just wish they had an Android app in addition to their iPad app.
