iPowerRocket vs ApogeeLog

iPowerRocket is an application that allows an amateur rocketeer to perform all the calculations for rocket design and flight planning on his or her iPhone or iPod touch. It includes tools for barrowman CP computation, flight simulation, calculating ejection charges, dimensioning parachutes and a flight log, all in one application. To see iPowerRocket in action, have a look at the video on the iPowerRocket home page.

Predict your apogee, size your recovery, and log every flight - 100% offline at the launch field. ApogeeLog is the model rocketry field companion: real boost-and-coast physics off a bundled certified-motor database, parachute sizing for a safe descent, and a searchable flight & motor log. No account, no internet, ever. Every apogee carries an honest error band - it's an estimate to plan with, so verify altitude with a certified altimeter. PREDICT YOUR APOGEE - FREE, UNLIMITED - Deterministic boost-and-coast physics - the same ~10-15% band the desktop tools work in - Predicted apogee + max velocity (with Mach) - every result shows a visible +/- error band - Altitude-vs-time and velocity-vs-time charts - see the whole flight, not just one number SIZE YOUR RECOVERY - FREE, UNLIMITED - Solve parachute diameter for a target descent rate - or enter a chute, get the rate - Flat and dome presets, a 3-6 m/s safe-band check, and a wind-drift estimate - Density-altitude refinement from your field elevation and temperature LOG EVERY FLIGHT, PROVE EVERY CERT Your fleet, your motors, your L1/L2/L3 cert history - off the spiral notebook for good. - Predicted vs measured apogee on every flight - the record that actually means something - Live stats: highest and fastest flight, total impulse, cert progress, most-flown rocket - GPS landing, motor inventory, searchable history, CSV import/export EXPORT A CERT PROOF REPORT - One-tap PDF + CSV - rocket and motor spec, altitude curve, recovery plan, log summary - Assumptions and the error band printed on the page, honestly labeled - A self-reported estimate for record-keeping - not a certifying measurement THE CERTIFIED MOTOR DATABASE Searchable, offline, and built on the public NAR/Tripoli/CAR certified lists. - Search by designation, class, or manufacturer - impulse, thrust, burn time, thrust curve - Bundled snapshot works with zero signal; optional refresh keeps it current (Premium) - Every entry attributed and date-stamped, so you always know how current it is BUILT TO LAST, MADE FOR THE FIELD The desktop tools need a laptop; past iOS apps were abandoned. ApogeeLog is native, maintained, and fully on-device - your data never leaves your iPhone. GROUND ALTITUDE TRACKER (an estimate - not an altimeter) Point your phone at apogee for a no-hardware altitude estimate with an uncertainty band. Two-station tracking adds the NAR 10% "track closed" confidence. A practice tool - it does not replace an onboard altimeter. FREE FOREVER - Unlimited apogee prediction (full motor database) and parachute/recovery sizing - Single-station altitude tracker - Up to 3 saved rockets and 10 logged flights PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION ApogeeLog Premium adds: - Unlimited flight & motor log + your full rocket fleet - The certified motor database, kept up to date - One-page cert proof report (PDF) + CSV export - Two-station altitude tracking and advanced calcs (Barrowman stability, ejection charge, drift, optimal delay, density-altitude) Subscription options: Premium Monthly: $3.99/month Premium Annual: $19.99/year - includes a 7-day free trial Payment will be charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
