## Description

IGC Viewer is a modern, lightweight Chrome extension designed specifically for pilots to quickly visualize and analyze their flight data recorded in IGC files. It supports files from loggers and apps like XCSoar and SeeYou, allowing users to access detailed flight information such as altitude, speed, distance, and flight time. The extension features flight track visualization colored by altitude, task display, and smooth flight replay with speed controls.

Additional functionality includes sorting flights by pilot, glider, or date, sharing flights easily, and opening IGC files directly from Gmail. Compliant with the FAI Technical Specification for GNSS Flight Recorders, IGC Viewer provides a fast, user-friendly solution to enhance your post-flight analysis and better understand your soaring experiences.

## Review summary

Users appreciate IGC Viewer for being free, fast, easy to use, and effective in displaying flight tracks and altitude data. It is valued for quick flight review and file management features. However, common requests include adding detailed flight statistics (speed, altitude, climb), options to toggle measurement units (metric/imperial), displaying time data, enhancing the graphical interface, and improving playback controls. Despite these, the app is regarded as stable, useful, and well-designed for soaring flight enthusiasts.

### Pros

- App is free, fast, stable, and easy to use.
- Effectively displays flight tracks and altitude as expected.
- Useful for quickly reviewing flights and managing IGC files.
- Provides accurate records of flight duration and speed.
- Allows deletion of errant files and sorts flights for convenience.

### Cons

- Lacks detailed stats display such as height, speed, climb, and glide angle during replay.
- No option to change measurement units between metric and imperial (feet, knots).
- Missing time display on the map or during flight replay.
- Graphical display improvements suggested, like stacking map and altitude graph or showing graphs simultaneously with map.
- Playback controls could be improved (e.g., pause instead of stop, play/pause/stop functionality).
