AscentPal simplifies the tracking of indoor bouldering events. As a first step, organizers add their events to the system. Climbers browse these events and register to them. During an event the climbers will track the completed routes with the app. Either by scanning the route's QR code or tapping on a route on the scoreboard, the climber can mark it as completed or flashed. The total score and current ranking is displayed on the scoreboard.
RoVFR
Read full descriptionHide full description
This app leverages the official vfr.caa.ro web platform's API in order to provide an easier, handier, VFR flight management tool for paragliding pilots. In Romania, for a legal VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flight with any ultralight aircraft, including paragliders, gliders or drones, you need to have an active VFR notification submitted to Romanian CAA (Civil Aeronautical Authority). For this, the Romanian CAA provides an official web platform accessible at https://vfr.caa.ro . This app is built on top of that for an easier and handier usage.
