OutDare is the all-in-one paragliding app: know when and where to fly, record every flight, and share the sky with your friends, from your phone to your watch. Stop refreshing weather apps. OutDare reads the forecast for every flying site near you and tells you exactly when it's flyable, based on YOUR wind range, gust tolerance and minimum flying time. A WHOLE NEW LOOK Light, glassy and calm, across the app and on the web app on laptops. KNOW WHEN TO FLY • Flyability verdicts, green / yellow / red for today and the next 7 days, tuned to each site's wind directions and your personal limits. • It shows its work, every verdict names the one thing holding it back, and whose limit that is: yours or the site's. • Smart alerts, get pinged when a saved site turns flyable. Choose the days, the hour and how far ahead. • Where to fly today, on the Today screen: the best flyable spot near you. • Flyable Nearby: a map with numbered pins and a day strip. Search any town on Earth, or by drive time from 30 min to 3 h with real road times. • Share your Flyable list with your crew as a link anyone can open, even without the app. • Travel mode: pick where you sleep, see drive times to each site, set exact trip dates and get trip alerts. RECORD & RELIVE • Flight recorder with a live vario, route guidance and screen-free spoken callouts. • Never lose a flight: forget to press record and OutDare still quietly captures it. Rides up to launch are not logged as flights, and a real takeoff is never cancelled. • Signed IGC tracks with one-tap upload to WeGlide, DHV-XC and Leonardo, or send to XContest. • 3D replay, every flight filmed like a drone over the real terrain; share it as a film. • Your flying passport, countries, launches, records and your flight history on your profile. ON YOUR HOME SCREEN OutDare widgets, redesigned: your favorite site's verdict at a glance, plus a "Where to fly" widget with the best spot near you. ON YOUR WATCH Apple Watch: start and stop recording from your wrist, with a glanceable cockpit and a haptic vario you can feel.
