### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-07-30*

I really like all the features of this app and love how it tracks your flight and always shows you which way the landing zone is.

### 5/5 — ✌️

*2026-07-12*

🤩

### 4/5 — Great app only one complaint

*2025-10-01*

For paramotoring this app is amazing. Not only does it log your flights but gives you your ground speed and an easy way to make it back to your takeoff location. 
Only thing I think is super super selfish of and wrong of the company is the new power line feature will only warn you about power lines if you pay for the most expensive subscription. 
I seriously can’t comprehend why anyone would be so selfish and greedy that they would only give you the audio alert that can potentially save your life, if you pay for the most expensive monthly membership they offer. 
I understand we should not fly low and that we can’t rely on that to always work but they have the ability to possibly save someone’s life and won’t do it unless you pay them for the most expensive membership. 
That’s why I gave them 4 stars and not 5.

**Developer response:** Hi ceeeejaaayy, thanks for the detailed review. We put the feature behind our top subscription to cover the expense of processing and maintaining the power line data. Subscriptions also help us cover the cost of developing and maintaining Gaggle. If you would like to try out the feature, please email us at hello@flygaggle.com, and we will give you a free trial to our Adventurer plan.

### 5/5 — Great community tracking

*2025-09-24*

Love the ability to see your friends flights; review your past flight tracks; and the analytics

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review!

### 5/5 — Best In Flight App

*2025-07-18, version 1.72.20250710*

I never fly without Gaggle!! Not only is it the easiest way to log my flights, track my fuel usage mid flight and locate my friends in the air, but it also keeps me safe notifying me where air traffic is near me. There are so many awesome features and more are frequently added

### 5/5 — Fantástica

*2025-06-09, version 1.72.20250605*

Me encanta la app, es muy sencilla de usar y su aspecto es muy limpio. Lo único que mejoraría es poder poner la pantalla de vuelo en horizontal, aún con la rotación de pantalla activada me lo sigue mostrando en vertical.

### 5/5 — Nothing better

*2025-05-24, version 1.72.20250514*

Absolutely the best app for PPG!  Worth the membership price, and even the free portion is great!

### 3/5 — Inaccurate Readings

*2025-05-18*

This app has great information while in flight for recording flight information. However, only prompts for the first 10 minutes. After that, it is inaccurate while in flight and stops prompting the flight information. Not worth $89 a year. I hope they fix these bugs. I’ve heard so many other pilots complain about this lately. Also, how do we find other pilots to friend. I asked Gaggle and tried exactly what it told me to do but didn’t work at all.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your review and feedback. We are busy making audio cues more robust, as well as introducing a feature to make searching the community easier. If you are willing to, please send us additional feedback on the inaccuracies you experienced to hello@flygaggle.com and we will fix it as soon as possible.

### 5/5 — Best PPG App

*2025-03-29, version 1.72.20250323*

Hands down the best paramotoring app. Devs are consistently making improvements for safer skys.

### 5/5 — A must have

*2025-01-25*

Gaggle is the must have app for paramotor pilots. It has everything you can think of and more! The developers of this app have a discord you can submit bugs and features to and they are constantly improving the experience! Not only that the have weather, maps, tracking, maintenance tracking, and a platform you can make friends on! Get the adventurer plan it is well worth it!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for the thoughtful and thorough review!
