Read full descriptionHide full description
This application allows you to revise important subjects (weather, piloting, equipment, regulations, flight mechanics) to prepare your theoretical certificates of free flight (paraglider, hang glider), whether it is the initial (green level), pilot (blue level) or confirmed level (brown level) ! You have access to the entire database. For those who don't want ads, an in-app purchase allows them to be removed. Indispensable to revise everywhere!
SoaringForecast
Read full descriptionHide full description
SoaringForecast provides weather forecast information of interest to glider pilots for the New England and Mifflin areas. Turnpoints can be downloaded and used to create tasks, and a task can be overlaid on the forecast. Soundings, special use airspace, and turnpoints can also be overlaid on the forecast. Tapping on a turnpoint will display an overhead view of the turnpoint. Long press on a turnpoint, taskturnpoint or map location will provide a local forecast graph. Task estimates (task time, estimated tail/head winds, ground speed, thermalling estimates) can be calculated based on selected model/date/time. METARs/TAFs come from 1800wxbrief. Authorizing your 1800WxBrief account to allow SoaringForecast to request briefs, you can get a local or task briefing (based on current selected task)

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SoaringForecast at none against iGLIDER QuiZ's shown. iGLIDER QuiZ's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 weeks) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
