Tracking Function
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!

Pratique
J’utilise cette application depuis maintenant 2 ans. Elle me sert à savoir déterminer quels sont les terrains qui sont dans mon local. Cela fonctionne bien en France. J’ai un seul regret, le calcul ne prend pas en compte le vent. C’est rare mais quelques fois j’ai du redémarrer le moteur !
Segelflieger Navigationsapp
Bin wirklich zufrieden mit der App. Für mich bisher nichts vergleichbares unter iOS.
Great glide computer
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.
