  • Annoying Ads, Useless App

    I installed this app to check it out. The first thing it did was to show me a 5 second pop up ad which repeats every so often. The app seems to have no information about several sites near me that I know are in use. Overall this app is not worth it.

  • Shows wind barbs

    I have to admit, I don’t use this for paragliding. I use it mainly to show wind speed and direction with standard wind barbs. There have been some issues in past releases, but this one works great! I’m super happy.

    Just got the app and have checked it out but not used it for flying yet, but had some difficulty installing it and had one on one support throughout the process, which never happens when you download an app these days!

  • Fine

    I have been using the App for two years now and it has helped me greatly planning my travels for unknown flying sites and choosing depending on actual weather. I recently had an issue with the App and emailed Craig. He fixed the issue almost instantly and was incredibly helpful. This is a « must have » for paragliding pilots. Well worth the subscription!

  • Weird stuff

    Hit the “write a review” Icon and was dumped in the middle of someone’s attempt at writing a review, had to send it myself to be able to start my own review? Weird! Now for more suggestions, since we pilots like to travel around a lot, it would be helpful if the developer would add contact information for local instructors and anyone apt to give site intros. Also local flight clubs for the purpose of supporting the club and making sure we are keeping up with local restrictions. Also the locations where gear may be obtained? This option may encourage input from local instructors and club members who want their services to be more readily available.

  • Used to be good

    This used to be the best. I even had a Pro subscription. Seems they got greedy. Raised the price to nearly 5/mo and apparently canceled grandfathered in subs. Now the app shows ridiculously invasive ads about every 60 seconds if you don’t have Pro. I understand developing costs, to charge 5/mo for the mostly user submitted info from this app. Not cool.

  • Be aware rip off, not able to unsubscribe

    Unsubscribe function does not work under iOS IPhone 8+ with latest iOS. Do not subscribe unless you want to pay forever!

  • Nothing enabled on trial version. 😒 LAME

    This app seems like it has some potential, but I can’t really sort out whether it’s worth keeping it—much less paying for it. It’s basically a map database with launch sites, LZ’s, webcams, and even thermals marked, as well as a future flyability (forecast) function ...theoretically. The problem is that the trial/free version has too many features disabled to assess it (basically all those I mentioned, plus no topo/terrain maps, satellite maps, etc.). So, unless you do a 7-day trial with automatic subscription renewal unless you cancel, you basically just have the simple map from Google with a bunch of pins in it. For someone with cursory knowledge of local launch sites, the trial version of this app has LESS information than simply going online to look at ParaglindingEarth or government maps and checking weather. So, as one could imagine, I’m DEFINITELY not going to go for a 7-day free trial with automatic subscription renewal just to see if it does anything more useful. I was actually interested in the webcams too, since I wasn’t aware of one of them at a local spot. If dev would do something like temporarily allowing all features of the app without forcing people to do that dumb 7-day automatic renewal thing, I’d say there might be a good thing here. I’ll never know because I’m not interested in getting roped into a subscription just to find out. *Delete*
