See g-force calculated from your devices internal accelerometers, along with speed and altitude. Track how your favourite rollercoaster or track car compares to aerobatics! Caution - NOT FOR USE IN FLIGHT OR SAFETY CRITICAL OPERATIONS. Negative g calculation is not accurate due to device hardware limitations.
FlightSix
Read full descriptionHide full description
FlightSix brings the familiar six-pack flight instrument layout to your iPhone. The app combines data from your device’s motion, location, compass and pressure sensors to present: • GPS ground speed • Attitude indication • GPS or barometric altitude • Turn coordination • Magnetic heading • Vertical speed Instrument Test mode lets you control every display manually, making FlightSix useful for demonstrations, familiarisation and learning how conventional flight instruments respond. Features: • Responsive six-instrument cockpit • Live GPS ground speed • GPS and pressure-derived altitude options • Adjustable altimeter pressure setting • Attitude-level calibration • Turn-coordinator sensitivity settings • Live sensor-status information • Manual instrument demonstration mode • Works without an internet connection • No account or flight recording required Important: FlightSix uses consumer-device sensors and is intended for educational and demonstration purposes only. It is not certified aviation equipment and must not be used for navigation, aircraft control or safety-critical decisions. GPS speed is ground speed, not indicated airspeed. In pressurised aircraft, barometric altitude represents cabin pressure altitude rather than the aircraft’s actual altitude.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: FlightSix at Free against G's $0.99. G's advantage is iOS requirement (13.5 vs 18.6). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
