What's New in Vulture

3.4.0

September 2, 2026

The biggest update Vulture has had: a new flight detail, the airspace above you drawn as a profile, twice the SkySight weather, three widgets, and Soaring Spot results that open without the app. Plan * Scan a task from a QR code — the codes XCTrack and the other gliding tools share tasks with, assigned-area tasks included. * Roughly twice as many SkySight layers: cloud cover, significant weather, CAPE and storms, rain, Cu depth, overdevelopment, and surface wind — each with its own legend and explanation, in your language, and matched to the sport you fly. * The weather picker opens straight on the layers, with the days in a row and the time on a slider you sweep through the day. * Drag a task onto the flight map to give every flight there that task, or drag a task out of the list as a CUP file. Fly * The airspace sheet draws the airspace above the point you tapped as a vertical profile — every band from its floor to its ceiling, with your altitude marked in flight. On iPad the selected sector's limits and frequency sit beside it. * Sectors you have hidden can be kept in the sheet without coming back on the map. Analyze * The flight detail opens on the flight itself: its track drawn large, distance, duration, speed, and height gain, with one row per analysis page. * Every flight row shows a thumbnail of the track you flew and every task row its shape, synced over iCloud. * Run a finger along a thermal's climb graph and the glider follows on the map. * Press and hold a flight or task in the list for a preview card with the track drawn large. Widgets * The METAR widget is a wind rose now, with a large size that lays tomorrow out in three-hour steps. * A new Tomorrow widget shows the forecast for tomorrow's launch window, and a new Flight widget draws a flight from your logbook as the shape of its track. Both are made for the nightstand in StandBy. Everywhere * A Soaring Spot results link now opens without Vulture installed — the day's scoreboard, and each pilot's flight on a map. * Airspace files show what is in them in Files and Finder, drawn as a map of their airspace, and a flight preview now shows its distance too. * Settings, the lists, the file managers, and the service sign-ins are rebuilt for iOS 26, with search that unfolds from a button. * Much better VoiceOver, Dynamic Type, Reduce Motion, and contrast support throughout. Fixed * Opening Vulture from a link, from Spotlight, from another device, or from the icon's shortcuts works again. * The flight list no longer stutters while its thumbnails are drawn. * An imported flight or logger download could be silently lost when iCloud had changed the same record. * Uploading to WeGlide works again, and a whole Soaring Spot day now loads every flight. * The GPS-altitude graph now leaves a gap where the recorder logged no GPS altitude, instead of plunging the line to zero. * Siri's METAR answers and the location permission prompts now always appear in your own language.

Very nice

Nicely designed, has most of the featured you’d want especially for pre-flight planning and post-flight analysis. For in-flight navigation, SeeYou Navigator is more feature-rich at this time. Would prefer a one-time purchase option as an alternative to subscription. Works great on Mac and iPhone.
