Mike, that's great that you find Top Hat intuitive - that's the reason behind the project - to make a glide computer that's easy-to-use. You can read more about Top Hat and post feedback regarding Top Hat at tophatsoaring..org. Rob Dunning I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is to try to please everyone.

Easy to access, most often used info, at your fingertips with a uncluttered interface.

The interface is excellent while flying-all info you usually need with few screen taps. Will stay with it-very nice.




Sorry for being dense, but what platform does the Top Hat soaring app run on? I use XCSoar on my iPAQs and Androids. I was hoping for an iPhone app..


It's a derivative of XCSoar. The claimed hardware on their web page is
the Dell Streak, Nook, Samsung Galaxy, and DroidX, so that's basically Android.
I haven't heard of XCSoar being ported to iOS.
