It does what the name sais with the following features:
- Altimeter with altivariometer indication the vertical speed acoustic and in a classical scale (+
- 5m/s or +
- 10 feets/s)
- It can speak the vertical speed, so it is cool for audio only
- It has tracking/recording of the flights in icg file so you can download and post the track to various sites
- Compass
- Last thermal point inside the compass
- Wind direction
- Last X (configurable
- default 10) seconds altitude gain/lost
- Flight duration
- History of the tracks recorded with (max altitude, start end altitude, max min vertical speed, etc)
- 'Look around' feature to get from the internet the paragliding places around your location

Please don't override the user's audio settings without asking permission. It's incredibly annoying.
Ugly as Sin but it works okay. Interface is clunky, but it kind of works.
Doesn't adjust GPS altitude to MSL, and relies on Legacy menu button. I have to force close to quit
I like the looks of this app and I know it works in flight but, as I have it installed on a Galaxy Tab S2 & not a phone, is there another way to access the menu? When I long press the left button on the tablet all I gets is a message saying that split screen is not supported. I need to change the display from metric to statute units.
works now ..a little slow to start n seems to wait for the gps to acquire sats first. great little app for week ends,paragliding activities . thanks
Thank you for the app
Once I discovered press and hold left menu button the app transforms to a seriously good bit of software. Thanks
3-1-15. Thanks for all the great work you have put into developing this app. Runs well on my GS4.sold my vario last year and right now my only flight instrument. .... 1-4-16. App freezes up when climbing in a thermal. Never had a problem before but. Now it is unreliable and driving me crazy. Rating dropped to 2 stars. :(
Barometer exist, sensor multitude shows pressure reading. However, this apps only worked 2 out of 10 times of starting. So I don't know if the app is not compatible with Marshmallow or it can't read the sensor reading. Sesnor I've got it with phone is BMP280 pressure from Bosch.
Last version keeps the soft buttons light on, please fix!
Just won't work and the email (yes only one) I got about it said it should....no other help. ***update... Got another email stating get there was an update. Appears to be working but haven't flight test it yet.
Love it
The Samsung Galaxy S4 works well with this app. Squeezing the case of the phone has no effect. The Samsung Galaxy S5 is more tightly sealed to help make it more waterproof. Sadly, it does not leak air in and out easily, so the vario function does not work well. Light finger pressure on the phone squeezes the air inside the case, indicating strong sink. Lifting the finger indicates strong lift. Really not usable with this phone, though it is a good app.
i'm having trouble saving places on my S5, i was able to on my S4, so not sure what is wrong, whether it's my phone or something with the newer version. Also, i keep hitting the home button while flying and losing the screen, not so bad with light gloves in the summer, but horrible to get back when wearing thick winter gloves, almost impossible to recover while flying. it would be great if there could be a lock setting on the screen like with the video apps that will lock key input to prevent losing the app screen while flying.
Latest version worked great on a Samsung S4, now the app's sound is linked to the phones sound and and the sink sound is very annoying... almost like a very annoying alarm, please avail the previous version
I was able to make this app more responsive on the airtight S5 by simply opening the charge cover on the bottom a tiny bit.
Great app, thanks !
It does not show the correct altitude. I have set the right altitude but it changes after restart. Overall, very good app, vario accuracy is pretty good, interface is good too. Plus I can customize baro sensitivity.. Best vario app so far..
It works as stated in description. The sensitivity seems to the changing wrong way round? ! Sliding the yellow bar way to the right makes it less sensitive on my S4 Samsung but this is minor or I might understand it wrong way round. Tha lag time between altitude change and audio beeps is a major concern and seems to be a generic one with other similar aps. Why can't it be instantaneous like a real vario?
Hey Mihai. thanks for a great app! I just have similar problems with the barometer initialisation on my Google Nexus 5. Other barometric apps work so its not the device it self. Thanks for trying to solve this
Didn't work on my S5. No menus just the main widget making noise that I couldn't shutoff or exit. Had to kill it to close it....
Really nice and clean looking vario. If I could only ask for OLED black screen to save battery?
