If you are an Air Avionics iGlide user, please share your evaluation.
Also interested in knowing if you are happy with the sunlight
readability of your iPhone. Is iPhone 6 brighter than iPhone 5?

Top Hat https://www.tophatsoaring.org/ is another excellent glide
computer (glide computer only, not a logger). Impressive on a Samsung
S10 and its free.


Top Hat as well as XCSoar has a logging function..


So does the other clone, LK8000. It writes G records at the end of a log,
so I suppose that means that XCsoar and TopHat do too.

But AFAIK none of these are accepted anywhere as equivalent to a secure
FR or PR, which means they can't be used for badge claims. They're fine
for the BGAladder and similar national league tables. I don't use OLC so
don't know if they will accept logs from them.


Yes OLC will accept them. Unless you're a motorglider, they don't
record engine noise.
