With it you are able to check in, self manifest, load organize, send your Burble enabled dropzone your location when you land out, view your transaction history and maintain a full electronic logbook . Check with your local dropzone to see if they are using Burble. Payments. Add money to your account directly from your phone at enabled Dropzones. Ratings card: Ditch it. Connect Burble directly to your Merit account and the dropzone will be able to see your USPA and UPT licences and ratings immediately. Self Manifesting: No more lining up to manifest. Now you can put yourself and your friends on a load with a couple of click. Great for fun jumpers, load organizers and teams alike. Load Organizing: Just scan your jumpers QR codes to add them to your list. Send jumpers on a load a message. Reuse a previous load. It's designed to help you keep a boogie rocking! Transaction History: Complete history of every transaction you have made at your dropzone. No more bothering manifest at the end of the day. Be their best friend and check you jumps on your phone. Log Book: A full electronic log book automatically keeps track of your jumps at any Burble enabled dropzone (you can add jumps made at other dropzones manually). You can save signatures and pictures of the people you jump with making it a full electronic logbook. Location Notifier: Landed out? Let the dropzone know where you are. You can now send the DZ a message from the app that will send your GPS co-ordinates and display your location in a map back at the dropzone. Your status - "Injured", "ok, need a ride" or "ok, walking back" is also sent at the same time.
