Default alternative to iGlide for iPhone (6 plus)

I have been using iGlide now for about 20 flights, and I really don't like it very much. It is riddled with bugs (which I have duly reported to Butterfly only to hear "yes, we're aware of that"), the user experience is terrible (and I speak as someone who has worked in user interaction and user experience for years), and the documentation is woefully out of date (last updated 2/2013) and incomplete. So I have wasted $33.

Are there other apps that people recommend for IoS?

thanks, bob


Just goes to show that there are many different tastes in the world. I am curious though, you say it is "riddled with bugs" - what have you run into as examples? I am aware only of a couple of fairly obscure ones and have flown with it for many hours.

Winpilot for iOS has promise, but it does not work very well on the 6+ and the up time before a hard crash seems to be only a few minutes.
