To install ForeFlight Mobile on an older iPad or iPhone that doesn’t support the latest version of iOS and, therefore, the latest app versions, follow these steps:
STEP 1. On the older iPad or iPhone, sign in with the same Apple ID used to install ForeFlight Mobile on a newer device or one used to download the app in the past.
NOTE: To install ForeFlight Mobile on an older device, the app must have been downloaded previously using the same Apple ID or recently downloaded on a newer iPad that can install the latest version of ForeFlight Mobile.
STEP 2. Open the App Store.
STEP 3. Tap the Account icon or go to Purchased.
STEP 4. Use the “Purchased App” search bar in the upper-left corner to search for “ForeFlight.”
NOTE: Do not use the search bar in the upper right-hand corner.
STEP 5. Locate ForeFlight Mobile EFB and tap the cloud symbol.
STEP 6. Tap Download to download the latest compatible version of ForeFlight Mobile EFB to the device.
Depending on the device and iOS version, a prompt will be presented with the message “Download an older version of this app” or “Do you want to download the last compatible version?” In either case, tap Download.
See “What version of ForeFlight can be installed based on the version of iOS on my device?” for details on which version of ForeFlight Mobile works with the installed version of iOS.
