Um app de paraquedistas, para paraquedistas! do AFF aos GODS, todo PQD sabe que a vida no chão seria muuuuito mais fácil se todas informações estivessem reunidas em um só lugar. E o APPqd chegou pra isso! Se liga no que dá pra fazer: - Consultar a previsão da DZ a gente sabe que só salta quem tá na área, mas ter uma noção de se a área vai tá aberta ou fechada, a velocidade do vento e muito mais, é sempre bom né? - Adicionar seus jumps num logbook super simples e fácil de ser preenchido Chega de ter que carregar caderneta pra lá e pra cá, anote de maneira bem fácil seus jumps e tenha tudo no seu bolso - Adicionar seus equipamentos e a gente te avisa quando o velame reserva estiver pra vencer! - Calcular o seu wingload Aquela informação super importante que as vezes é chata pra lembrar o cálculo. A gente resolve bem rápido. Só colocar o peso, peso do equipo e tamanho do velame e o resto deixa com a gente! - Fazer simulados pra treinar pra reciclagem, mudança de categoria e muito mais treinando com os simulados, tocar o sino e conheecer mais do nosso esporte favorito fica mais fácil! E tem muito mais vindo por ai!
