Variometer+ is the most responsive variometer for your iPhone or/and Apple Watch. Works for all activities (paragliding, hang gliding, aviation, ...). • Super reactive / responsive thanks to a very advanced algorithm • Beeps like a real variometer (or haptic feedback on your wrist) • Shows ground speed & altitude (sea level & relative to take-off) • Sink alarm • Entirely configurable (settings sync with Apple Watch through iCloud) • Choose among several gauges • Change units (m/s, ft/min, ...) • Customize beeps tresholds • Customize gauge max & min values based on your activity • Customize the sound of your vario (frequency, cadence, ...) for maximum comfort • Independent Apple Watch app (sound, haptic feedback, ...) → everything on your wrist • ... and more Use at your own risk. The creator cannot be held responsible for any issue that might arise. Common sense should prevail. Fly safe! This app respects your privacy and does not collect any data. Feedback is welcome and appreciated, you can contact me from within the app :-). Please be nice with me ;-). About the algorithm: This variometer is not an ordinary app. To provide this level of responsiveness, a very advanced mathematical technique is being used. This is called ‘Sensor fusion’. It uses data from multiple sensors of your devices, and combines them to increase accuracy and responsiveness. This has been developed in collaboration with researchers from the university of UCLouvain in Belgium. Because of the efficiency, hence complexity, of the algorithm, a great amount of computational power is required. This is why, based on the tests, the advanced level of responsiveness is only available on recent devices. The app still works - but is less responsive - on older devices though.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Variometer+ at 89% against JARVISH's 41%. Variometer+ also leads on ratings volume (27 vs 2) and device support (4 vs 2). JARVISH's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

JARVISH holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Variometer+ has 27 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 41% of JARVISH's written reviews are positive against 89% of Variometer+'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

JARVISH ships an update monthly, Variometer+ every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
