## What is Variometer?

Variometer+ measures your vertical speed (climb/sink rate) in real time using the barometer sensor. Audio vario feedback helps you find thermals while paragliding, hang gliding, or gliding.

A simple, focused variometer without the complexity of full flight apps. Just launch and fly.

Key Features:
- Real-time vertical speed gauge (m/s, ft/min)
- Audio vario feedback (rising tone = climb)
- Barometer + GPS sensor fusion
- Thermal assistant (best climb direction)
- Flight log with altitude profile
- Max climb/sink rate recording
- Battery optimization mode

A free alternative to $200-500 hardware variometers. Perfect for paragliding, hang gliding, and soaring.
