### 5/5 — Weiterhin beste App- endlich wieder entwickelt

*2026-08-15*

Zuverlässig seit vielen Jahren zum Segelflug egal in welchem Typ und egal in welchem Land Europas. 
Pinch to zoom ist deutlich besser einen Überblick zu haben als im LX. Zum Glück wird es weiterentwickelt, danke!

### 2/5 — Tracking Function

*2022-01-31*

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!

**Developer response:** iGlide will have a more active development now by me, with more frequent updates. Sorry to hear you had this problem in the past. Please try the latest update and create a support ticket if any issues stil remain. Also create a support ticket if you have more detailed feature requests, as I am really interested in your suggestions.

### 1/5 — Impossible d avoir les map data

*2021-10-31*

Install ok
Ajout de waypoints persos ok via itunes
MAIS
Impossible d avoir une map data dans les paramètres de l application !
Aucuns choix proposés
Donc pas de map de fond
C est tres decevant et semble non aboutis comme logiciel
Une solutions ?

### 4/5 — Pratique

*2021-10-03*

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 !

### 5/5 — Segelflieger Navigationsapp

*2020-10-24*

Bin wirklich zufrieden mit der App. Für mich bisher nichts vergleichbares unter iOS.

### 4/5 — Great glide computer

*2020-07-06*

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.

### 1/5 — Crashes, no updates, do not buy!

*2020-06-02*

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.

### 5/5 — Eine tolle Segelflug-App für iPhones

*2020-05-28*

Ich habe mir zunächst iGlide light zum Testen gekauft und war von der Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Qualität der App sofort begeistert, weshalb ich auf die Pro-Version „upgegradet“ habe, um die volle Funktionalität nutzen zu können. Seit mehreren Jahren nutze ich iGlide auf meinem iPhone 6 und will es nicht mehr missen. Die Funktionalität, Bedienung und sehr flexibel konfigurierbare Darstellung aller möglichen Dinge ist schon richtig beeindruckend. Sie läuft absolut stabil und ohne Probleme. Bisher habe ich meine Flüge als freie Flüge ins OLC gemeldet, indem ich mein Power-Flarm mit Butterfly-Display über den USB-Stick ausgelesen und die IGC-Datei vom PC hochgeladen habe. Seit ein paar Tagen beschäftige ich mich mit deklarierten Flügen und Flugaufgaben, die ich ins Power-Flarm laden möchte. Dabei habe ich festgestellt, dass iGlide pro fast alles für die Deklaration bereits mitbringt und auch Aufgaben, flexibel konfigurierbare Wendepunkte mit Sektoren, Zylindern usw. beherrscht und nach FAI-Regeln darstellen und im Flug verfolgen kann. Jetzt fehlt mir nur noch die Möglichkeit, eine Flarm-Konfigurationsdatei aus der Aufgabe zu erstellen und auf den PC übertragen zu können, damit man diese per USB-Stick auf das Power-Flarm bekommt und die Datei nicht parallel erzeugen muss mit der Gefahr, dass die Koordinaten der Sektoren und Start-/Landelinien zwischen Flarm-Deklaration und iGlide eventuell nicht übereinstimmen und die Aufgabe damit nicht ordnungsgemäß erledigt werden konnte, obwohl in iGlide alles grün dargestellt wurde. Die Übertragung könnte beispielsweise per Webserver-Funktion geschehen, wie beim Übertragen der IGC-Dateien. Ich würde mich freuen, wenn diese Funktion bei einem späteren Update noch ergänzt würde, aber ich kann diese App schon in der vorliegenden Version wärmstens empfehlen.

### 4/5 — App is being updated!

*2020-02-28*

The app is now on 2.7.1 as of yesterday, and Air Avionics says it is committed to more improvements in the next few months. All data is updated and available.

### 1/5 — Warum löschen sich die Karten von selbst?!

*2020-02-13*

Wenn man iGlide mal 2 Tage nicht benutzt löschen sich alle Karten. Und das schon seit längerer Zeit. Ich hatte gehofft, das es nach dem letzten Update nicht mehr passiert. Aber leider funktioniert es immer noch nicht. 
Wäre schön wenn das endlich mal in den Griff bekommen wird!! 
Von der Funktion her finde ich die App super und würde bei Behebung der Fehler auch auf Advanced upgraden.
