### 1/5 — Compass bearing is backwards.

*2021-10-07, version 0.9.4*

Compass bearing is backwards.

### 1/5 — Outdated port from android

*2021-09-04, version 0.9.4*

App need a lot of work. Clearly a port from Android that needs to be updated

### 1/5 — Good app to get lost and stay lost

*2020-07-16, version 0.9.4*

Compass off by 90 degrees, recalibrated all compass, and map programs
Now off by 200 degrees. 
Following this app will get you nick named “Wrong Way” if you are ever seen again. 
I was Ripped for 3.99, useless app.

### 1/5 — Bearing is backwards!!  🥴

*2020-04-06, version 0.9.4*

First thing I noticed right away is the bearing is exactly opposite the direction I’m facing. Even the map shows I’m facing east when I’m really facing west. What’s going on?

### 3/5 — Great App, few bugs

*2019-11-18, version 0.9.4*

Great app designed for paramotor pilots. Like the screen layout and information, but the flight logging is hit or miss. Sometimes it logs a flight, sometimes it doesn’t. Hope the app gets updated soon as it’s a great tool for paramotor flying.

### 4/5 — Love it!

*2018-09-24, version 0.9.4*

I love this app it is very well done. There are still a few things that need improvement. Sometimes it doesn’t track but that could be due to losing location services. All in all great app. Also it would be awesome if this was available for Apple Watch.

### 3/5 — Fuel needs to be more accurate.

*2018-08-25, version 0.9.4*

I need the fuel to be more accurate. My paramotor uses 1.2 gallons of fuel a hour that’s cruising. So that needs to be fixed and i want to use my Apple Watch . You used to have it.

### 1/5 — Junk

*2018-07-08, version 0.9.4*

Terrible app the map always opens in France that’s a big problem because I’m in the US

### 1/5 — OOPS

*2018-06-11, version 0.9.4*

This app needs to be fixed.   
I found this problem within 60 seconds of buying it: Fuel consumption is LIMTED TO WHOLE NUMBERS.

We’re not flying 747’s here where rounding to the nearest full gallon makes sense.

But when you are chewing through 1-2 gallons per hour... being forced to choose between 1 or 2 gallons is no small error!  An optimistic flyer might choose 1... DOUBLING HIS FLIGHT TIME... 

This is no laughing matter... it’s a flight safety issue.

This setting should be set to accept AT LEAST one decimal place.

Why wasn’t this addressed in the last update 2 months ago?

Do we have to wait another 2 years before the next update?
