## What is eVario?

eVario is your connected flight navigation companion during and after your adventure trip, helping you to visualise relevant data, assist you while progressing in the air by returning visual and acoustical feedback.

eVario is a 9-axis measurement (accelerometer, gyrometer,  gps), barometer assisted, connected and intuitive instrument with a polychrom display, exploiting the embedded device’s hardware and accurate sensoric, without need to connect external devices. It typically provides real time information of a variometer like altimeter, speedometer, odometer, chronometer, gyrometer, anemometer for every (air)craft pilot. Its configurable cockpit allows you to keep track of the most relevant to you. The integrated data logger automatically records your 3D location and provides the recorded track file to e.g. your iCloud Drive for track visualisation or flight metrics.

Turn on & Fly!
No need for additional/external hardware.

eVario is mainly designed for paragliding/hang-gliding, but may be used as well while biking, hiking, running, sailing, skiing, flying, …

Optimised for low battery usage, the app lets you:
▶ TOUCH&GO: Turn on & Go fly! The cockpit shows real-time data after a short automatic instrument calibration.
▶ TAKE OFF: Automatic track recording is taking place in background and take-off altitude is referenced.
▶ STAY IN CONTROL: Control the behaviour, update rate, unit of the instruments, anytime and anywhere.
▶ THERMALLING: Get acoustical and visual feedback of the encountered thermals and easily locate them when returning back.
▶ BE EFFICIENT: Track wind estimation, direction and force, to soar or prepare your landing.
▶ DO MORE: Review your activity track and metrics in Health app or replay your 3D flight e.g. in GoogleEarth, Analyse flight metrics in BaseCamp.

### 5/5 — Super Gleitschirm-App!

*2022-11-19*

Die Kombination Watch und eVario2 funktioniert erstaunlich gut. Die App ist sehr übersichtlich aufgebaut und hat etliche Einstellungsmöglichkeiten. Sehr zuverlässige Flug-Rückmeldung, sehr erstaunlich wie Integration in HealthApp Nutzt Barometer, Accelerometer, Gyrometer und GPS. 
Ich fliege ohne Profi-Variometer und habe mit dieser App einen 50 km Flug hingelegt, der mich jetzt noch begeistert.
Vielen Dank für diese tolle nützliche App!!!

### 1/5 — Catastrophe

*2022-04-30*

L’application ne marche pas du tout et ne fait que de planter lorsque l’on va dans les réglages. Impossible à utiliser ! Une mise à jour urgente est nécessaire parce que sinon cette appli ne sert à rien et vous a coûté 5€.

**Developer response:** Edit: Apple WatchOS 9 will fix the issue.

Bonjour, 
Merci pour la prise de contact avec nous.

Le problème décrit est lié à une fonction interne Apple.
Nous avons rapporté le problème à Apple (cas 9707706) et attendons une résolution de la part des développeurs Apple.

Il est facile de contourner le problème lors de l'affichage des réglages: il suffit de scroller lentement vers la bas jusqu'à l'affichage des slider Audio. Une fois que les sliders sont affichés, il est possible de scroller librement.

Nous restons attentifs à la résolution définitive par Apple.
Bon plaisir!
