### 5/5 — Unexpectedly sensitive

*2023-06-15*

With this plus FlySkyHy, a phone might be the only instrument you need

### 5/5 — This app is incredible!!!!

*2023-04-28*

I ran out of battery on my vario and only noticed on my way to the take off… this app saved me! So cool!!! Thank you for this gift

**Developer response:** Amazing feedback! Thank you :-), and fly safe!

### 5/5 — Super auf der Apple Watch!

*2023-04-23*

Läuft ausgezeichnet auf der Apple Watch. Akkurate Höhe und super Reaktion auf Höhenänderungen. Präzisere Angaben als vergleichbare Apps. Vermutlich sehr gute Gewichtung zwischen GPS-Höhe und Barometer-Höhe.

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank fir the review! Yes the accuracy is really good thanks to the special algorithm created specifically for this app!

### 5/5 — Perfect for hike & fly

*2022-12-20*

Awesome to have a phone + watch instrument for paragliding hike & fly.  Thanks for developing this app!

### 5/5 — Nice additions to our flight tools

*2022-11-10*

I have been using this app on my watch in light off-season conditions. It seems to be working roughly as well as my external commercial Variometer.
It has a haptic option, which I thought would be useful but I guess I am too conditioned to sounds:-)
I haven’t used it in a wide range of conditions and flights yet, but I’m excited to have it with me.  Thanks!

### 5/5 — Smooth!

*2022-08-26*

This is smoother and yet more sensitive than all the Variometer devices I have. It’s nice that the UI focuses on one thing only - being a vario.

**Developer response:** Thank you for this amazing review. I'm very happy that the app can help a fellow pilot :-). Fly safe!

### 1/5 — Fonctionne avec 3s de décalage

*2023-09-26*

Je ne recommande pas.

**Developer response:** MISE A JOUR: Bonjour, j'attends toujours de vos nouvelles ! N'hésitez pas à me contacter depuis l'app pour toute clarification. Je serais ravi de discuter avec vous!
-------

Bonjour, comme indiqué, l'algorithme réactif ne fonctionne que sur un iPhone relativement récent (de 2020 minimum). Pourriez-vous ne pas punir l'énorme quantité de travail que j'ai fourni pour réaliser cette application ? Ca impacte mon travail et ma famille. Ravi d'en discuter avec vous si vous prenez contact avec moi depuis l'appli. Merci pour votre compréhenstion 🙏🏻, belle journée, John.

### 2/5 — Not reliable, inaccurate

*2025-12-02*

Inaccurate. When my phone is stationary, this vario app jumps around a lot. Please add the ability to get data from a bluetooth vario (for those that have a screen less device like Stodeus or BlueFly) instead of the using the phone's limited sensors (phone us far less accurate).

### 4/5 — Feedback

*2022-09-23*

I would just like to say thank you for providing me with this app

**Developer response:** UPDATE: no news from you, have you tried the latest version? I think maybe you'll want to update your rating? Thanks :-)
-------

Thank you for your review! How can I deserve my 5th star, which is so important to me 🙏🏻? Please?? :-) Thanks so much 🙏🏻, Jonathan

### 5/5 — Wonderful App

*2026-06-04*

Wonderful app, easy to use and accurate. I only wish there was an option to display speed in knots, as this is the common speed unit used in aviation.

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-06-01*

Thank you for your work and support our community

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-01-17*

Love this! Thank you for building it. It works great and saves me a lot of money

### 5/5 — Awesome app

*2025-08-27*

Easy to use. Just wish I could have a flight log of my flight, to see height gained,climb rate,etc after the flight.

**Developer response:** Thanks for your review, for flight log, check out www.wingmanfly.app 🪂⛰️☀️

### 5/5 — Perfect!

*2025-05-23*

works totalky fine and reliable. i love the simplicity if the app, thank you so much! can you do gps recording for a one time payment? 😉

**Developer response:** Thank you! For GPS recording, check out www.wingmanfly.app 🪂

### 5/5 — Simple, parfait pour débuter

*2025-05-04*

Application simple et gratuite (sans pub !)
Fonctionne très bien sur iPhone 13, je débute et je ne peux plus m’en passer, j’hésite à acheter la version pro, mais je voudrais comparer avec un vario dédié avant.

### 5/5 — Worked great with my watch

*2024-12-29*

Flew today in light conditions using it on my watch. Responded to weak surges with sound and haptics. I look forward to using it while giving instruction in club gliders that just have mechanical varios.
