This new app for iOS looks interesting and is supposed to be available this month. It will be interesting to see how it compares to iGlide.

Looks nice. Do they think they can make a better programme than iGlide or Winpilot, or will they make it cheaper?

Do you iPhone users know that Naviter the SeeYou folk are also creating flight computer software for iOs?

Currently, this is not a full-featured glide computer product, but I suspect that it will become so before long - perhaps when they have cleared stocks of the Oudie!

Android users are currently driven to XC Soar or Top Hat by the tempting price - zero. The programs are good so why would anyone want to pay for an alternative?

I have an Oudie IGC, which although old tech still has overwhelming advantages over phone based versions - IGC logger status, and an internal battery which runs all day. I also very much like the SeeYou software.
