## Review summary

Gaggle is highly praised for its accurate flight tracking, comprehensive real-time flight information, and strong social/community features that enhance the flying experience. Users appreciate responsive developer support and continual updates. However, there are concerns about the app stopping flight logging when running in the background, GPS connectivity reliability, limited in-app search capabilities for pilots or groups, and the lack of sectional charts. Overall, it's regarded as a top choice for paramotor and ultralight pilots, with some room for improvements in stability and features.

### Pros

- Strong community features allowing pilots to track friends, create groups, and communicate.
- Provides useful real-time flight data such as altitude, wind direction, fuel status, and traffic alerts.
- Responsive developer support and regular feature updates.
- Free tier with lots of functionality and reasonably priced premium options.

### Cons

- App sometimes stops logging flights when running in the background or when switching to other apps like the camera.
- Occasional GPS connectivity issues reported by multiple users.
- Lacks integrated search for other pilots, groups, or launch sites within the app.
- No sectional chart maps or advanced ADS-B integration mentioned by users.
- Some users find the subscription cost ($40/year) a bit high.
