Ratings and Reviews
Great glide computer
Update July 2020:
Well they’ve updated it! It’s not dead.
On the bright side, the map data downloads again, and it’s been moved so it doesn’t let iOS automatically purge map data to free up space any more. That’s good!
Unfortunately: it no longer records my flights! It used to automatically add flights to the “logbook” but this no longer works, all flight GPS data is lost when you close the app and cannot be exported. I’ve lost three days worth of flight data this weekend.
Previous problem still exists: No “cancel” when tapping a map data time. Only “delete” or “reload”. This is a huge problem for the USA map because the buttons are tiny. See below.
Sadly, with the loss of the GPS data recording function, I now cannot use this app at all now, and will have to find a replacement. I will keep an eye out for updates though.
Previous review, ca. 2019:
This was a great glide computer. Sadly the map data doesn’t seem to be downloadable any more.
My most major complaint was that the app stores its map and airport/airspace data in a location that iOS automatically purges, so pretty much every time you use this app you have to redownload the map data, which is pretty tedious (the download screen had extremely small buttons and if you “missed” your only option was “delete” or “download again”—frustrating!).
Sadly I can not recommend this app since it appears to be abandoned (no update in over two years) and no longer downloads map data at all.
App is being updated!
The app is now on 2.7.1 as of yesterday, and Air Avionics says it is committed to more improvements in the next few months. All data is updated and available.
Easy to use!
This app is very nice, it’s great for airspace awareness and has a voice alert. I have upgraded to the advance version so I could get winds aloft. I’ve also added the WiFi connect device to use my C302 data directly in the app. I see comments on how difficult it is to use, but honestly I don’t see anything that’s tricky about this software. I created a polar version for my glider, and only download the maps you need. I use it on a 5c iPhone because it fits next to my panel.
Highly recommend!
