Tolle App

Ich benutze Wingman jetzt seit einigen Wochen und bin super zufrieden

Response from developer

Vielen Dank 😊😃⛰️🪂, John

Schon ne geile App, da gibt’s nix.

Tracke mit der App ganz bequem meine Flüge. Da ich noch kein Vario hab, hab ich ohne große Erwartungen auch diese Funktion mal getestet und muss sagen, ich glaube ich brauch vorerst kein Vario mehr kaufen. Funktioniert besser, als die erfahrenen Kollegen mit ihren Skytraxx so wahrhaben wollen. Bisher einziger Kritikpunkt: Starterkennung funktioniert mit der AppleWatch nicht so zuverlässig, wie mit dem Smartphone. Aber gut, mit dem Handy ist es halt mega.

Beste Vario-Alternative für AppleWatch und iPhone

Ich habe sie immer parallel zum Skytraxx laufen und sehe keinen relevanten Unterschied. Auch das automatische Hochladen zu DHV-XC ist toll.

Super!

J’ai l’appli depuis plusieurs années, et le développeur, même s’il est indépendant, commence à rivaliser avec SportsTrackLive qui me semble être le géant du secteur, même si l’appli est devenue payante…
Une version avec paiement unique et premium à vie serait la bienvenue!

J’adore quand même! Tout est très bien conçu, on peut fusionner les vols qui se sont mal enregistrés, partager les données, avoir une vue 3D, etc etc etc. Le développeur est vraiment sympathique quand on lui fait des recommandations par mail, et les mises à jour sont fréquentes, mais elles sont surtout réellement utiles et apportent souvent de nouvelles fonctionnalités.


Tout est parfait, merci.

Très bonne app de vol

Parfait pour suivre sa progression et ses vols. Je l’utilise depuis la fin de mon stage pour le suivie de ma progression. Le lancement de l’enregistrement est automatique au décollage, plus le stress de lancer la montre. On peut ajouter des commentaires et revivre le vol pour analyse les trajectoires.
En plus l’app fait vario donc pas besoin d’en acheter un supplémentaire :) Merci
