## Description

FlightControlRP is a tool for tracking and calculating YPM (yards per minute) or MPM (meters per minute) between two latitudes and longitudes or race stations and lofts. Used in Pigeon Racing, this app uses the GPS to create new stations and calculate pigeon loft distances. Meters and celsius can be changed in iPhone Settings.

Using OpenWeatherMap data, the weather can be displayed for each race station, and the forecast can be analyzed to determine if conditions are appropriate for racing and training your pigeons. 

Pigeon race progress can be tracked in real-time and displayed on a map with a current weather overlay. 

Arrival times and YPM can be sent via Twitter.

Overfly is automatically determined and finish times can be adjusted on the fly.

Lat/Lon can be added as hh:mm:ss 

52°12′17.0″S 

Can be entered as any of the following...

DMS: -52:12:17.0
GPS: -52:12.2832
Decimal: -52.20472

## Review summary

Overall, the app shows promise for pigeon racing with useful distance and ETA features and is free to use. However, multiple reviews report a consistently poor user experience: the UI is not user-friendly and difficult to figure out, the flow is confusing, and configuration is clumsy. Reliability is another major issue, with the app failing to work after certain uses or at times. Some users note it works better after learning how to use it. In short: strong potential and some solid features, but it needs major UX improvements and stability updates.

### Pros

- Potential and usefulness for pigeon racing
- Simple to use for distance to loft and estimated arrival time
- Functions are strong when they work
- Free to use
- Works well once learned

### Cons

- Not user-friendly / hard to figure out
- Reliability issues / inconsistent performance
- Flow and navigation are confusing
- Needs updates and ongoing support
