Nice app but No sound
Hi bought your app today as I didn’t have charge on my vario but can’t get beeping sounds any ideas
Thanks
Thanks
Don’t buy this app
It doesn’t work and it is a waste of your money!
Save your money
App does not work as described. Wasted $5. Does not work as a vario at all. Some settings are totally inoperable.
Fails to work
Great idea but DOES NOT WORK ST ALL. Have tried a number of times with updates but still 0 audio comes out and reads nothing. Do not buy this app. Developer needs to fix it.
Customer service
Following a problem upgrading my app and losing my flight data I emailed Ronald and asked for help and he responded really promptly and did a brilliant job of helping me fix the problem and retrieve all my data - thanks Ronald, from a very satisfied customer - the app is great too!
Variomter
My variomter app stop work
Need improvements
I had high hopes for this app to use as a backup vario in my sailplane. Granted it will not be compensated and less accurate than pressure based but should still be helpful in case of dead vario. But I found it not very usable from the following reasons:
1- as soon as I get high enough and outside cell coverage it keeps complaining with error messages and freezes. Not having cell coverage is common 90% of the time where I fly and there is no need for cell coverage just for the vario functionality.
2- audio beeps are very unintuitive. The rate of the beeps should increase, not just the pitch, like any normal vario.
3- it is not clear what is the purpose of the secondary vario scale. Surely the needle should not move down to the center if the rate of climb exceeds 5 m/s!
4- the app should not allow the iPhone to auto lock !
5 - feet per second is not a common non metric unit. The scale should be in knots!
6- digital rate of climb should be 20 sec average not instantaneous especially since GPS altitude is not smooth.
Please fix all these and ill be happy to give a better review and recommend it to the whole gliding community.

do not bay it
it is waste of mony do not by it work to slow
Its pretty much waste of money
Sluggish, variometer is useless. Don't bother.
Doesn't work
Great idea. I'm a paraglider pilot and was attracted to how much the variometer screen actually looks like a real vario but ---- no matter what I set the climb threshold to (from 0 -always beep, to +10) there is no acoustic cue. Same for descent. The numbers do not change either, no matter how fast or slow I descend or climb either. No manual or instructions as well. So it's useless. And, yes... I used it outside.
iVariometer, despite having a painful widget setup system and also no manual at least works. Definitely get that instead.

Para
Its good app for beginner to have a variometer without give lot of money
Some what ok
It's a nice toy. Ok to register your flights and then see it in a map. Latly very much problems with accuracy in altitude. It showed 1400m when i was at 1200m AMSL. Registers movements in altitude even when I am stand still with my glider waiting to take off.
Excellent
Very accurate, quick, precise. Love it. Can't beat the price.
Total waste of money
Do not even bother to buy this for fun let alone true flying. No volume control, vario goes crazy every few seconds and app crashes after switching from vario to map screens few times by itself.
