User Reviews

User feedback highlights a polished, intuitive interface and strong data/tools for soaring, including airspace awareness and good map display. However, persistent reliability issues (map data download, purging, crashes, and data loss) and concerns about long-term support and documentation undermine confidence, with several reports of abandoned status and no download instructions. The app shows promise, especially with external hardware integration and advanced features like drag-and-drop task editing, but reliability and support gaps are the top recurring negatives.
Pros
  • Easy to use and intuitive UI for flight planning and navigation.
  • Rich airspace data and navigation features (airspace awareness, SUA vertical profile, winds aloft with ADV).
  • Detailed maps and high-quality display (Retina, detailed airport/runway data).
  • Good hardware integration and cross-device support (Air Connect, Cambridge 302) for wireless data.
  • Advanced UX features (nav boxes for quick access, drag-and-drop/rubber-band editing for tasks).
Cons
  • Map data download issues and iOS purging causing repeated downloads and lack of maps at times.
  • Crashes and instability, including direct-to crashes and general reliability problems.
  • Flight data logging/IGC export failures (GPS data not recorded, logbook not updated, exporting data difficult).
  • Perceived abandonment/slow updates and insufficient support/documentation (no US data, unclear download instructions).
  • Lite version limitations and value concerns, with some users pushed toward Pro and missing features in lite.

The app could be improved by showing the track flown, i.e. both out and return in addition to the track displayed to a destination. This is would be particularly useful while flying in blue wave. The map page used to add area has no maps available to download. Who’s minding the app support? This is unacceptable for an app that costs more than $100!

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.

I’ve worked with this for months but now have given up. Can’t get a valid IGC file out, constantly crashes and reboots, no updates in years. They’re taking money but doing nothing. I don’t believe anyone is really still using this. Newer iOS probably killed it.
