App does not work as described Wasted 5 Does not work as a vario at all Some settings are totally inoperable     Save your money Ol'bart
I had high hopes for this app to use as a backup vario in my sailplane Granted it will not be compensated and less accurate than pressure based but should still be helpful in case of dead vario But I found it not very usable from the following reasons 1 as soon as I get high enough and outside cell coverage it keeps complaining with error messages and freezes Not having cell coverage is common 90 of the time where I fly and there is no need for cell coverage just for the vario functionality 2 audio beeps are very unintuitive The rate of the beeps should increase not just the pitch like any normal vario 3 it is not clear what is the purpose of the secondary vario scale Surely the needle should not move down to the center if the rate of climb exceeds 5 m s 4 the app should not allow the iPhone to auto lock 5 feet per second is not a common non metric unit The scale should be in knots 6 digital rate of climb should be 20 sec average not instantaneous especially since GPS altitude is not smooth Please fix all these and ill be happy to give a better review and recommend it to the whole gliding community         Need improvements Ramyy
Its good app for beginner to have a variometer without give lot of money                     Para Mohsenpara
