Works great, but seems to malfunction on 64-bit android devices. Could you please provide an upgrade?

Unmaintained (does not connect with the vario)

Works great, and the layout of the screens is totally adjustable. I added screens for different types of Google Maps, simplified screens, etc. Q: Where do I find, and how to I open/review, the flight data after I started then stopped a flight? A: Start looking for a path in /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/com.bfv/files/, or look in the same path in which custom layout files are usually saved, and the file contents will be CSV format.

The variometer does not connect with the application while it works very well on a PC or with XCTrack, it is very unfortunate because the variometer works perfectly well so I do not recommend this version of application with the variometer BT_USB_V12_r4.

Love being able to connect to my vario and tweak settings on launch using phone! Very simple. Great package.

Must have

... Ergonomics and looks stuck in the 80ies. Could do with a GUI overhaul (material design...)

Love this little device

App is very configurable, and works consistently with Blue Fly vario. Alistair is a wizard, constantly looking for ways to improve things. I truly hope to see this become a mainstream product.

Cant test it right now because lack of the required bluetooth hardware. Looks good and works on Galaxy Nexus. A very nice feature would be to also support the internal pressure sensor on devices which support these: Sensor type = TYPE_PRESSURE.

Developer always responds promptly and positively to feedback. This project has a lot of potential.

Works significantly better that my current competition IQ+
