A really cheap shot. We all had to start humbly before spreading our wings.

Dan if you look at his flights it looks like he had several short flights on one day and several more on the next day. Is it possible this is the bugs Bob is referring to?
My comment was not an attack, it is an obersivation some of the times look to overlap. Bob can't or won't explain, Mr. Fiddler is the one picking on Bob : ) .
Bob grow up.

Dan no problem this is a public open forum we all should realize that when people use real names it opens up for more scrutiny. I do find the OP's thread a little bit over-the-top with accusations that aren't being backed up. I looked at his flights it's possible that the bugs he is talking about are related to his flights. Maybe he got phone calls that interrupted the recordings? Maybe there's other things involved he's not divulging. But if you're coming on a public forum like this you better expect every answer except for what you're looking and plenty of thread drift. That's why I call this the "rec aviation speculation" group. There is plenty of really good information here, and there's plenty of thread drift and speculation. There's a lot of kudos and a lot of insults and a lot of in between, and there's a lot of white elephants in the room that everybody sees but nobody wants to talk about.

I too have used it in the Iglide light configuration and found it very easy to use and when my GPS 20 failed to record my last ( and only flight this year) flight, without knowing that Iglide would record I downloaded it to OLC it did it without fail and I was very impressed. The only bug I found originally was trying to download use your way points from a database into the App. A few emails back to the makers were replied to and timely manner with an explanation of how to do it and that they were aware that there was a bug. I was told to start the app and then download it from iTunes and I was successful in getting my waypoints installed.

I upgraded to iGlide Pro yesterday after using Lite and Advanced for over a year. I use iPhone5 and mount it on a $10 suction cup phone holder from Walmart. I really like the program because it is easy to check my situation at a glance and to modify my task enroute. I have purchased SeeYou Mobile in the past and have NavPro on the same phone. Glidergeek's comment on the failure of his GPS20 and the iGlide record caught my attention. About 200km into a flight last Wednesday my iGlide wouldn't load so I switched to NavPro so I could figure out where I was on task. I struggled with the screen but it got me through. At the end of the flight I downloaded my flight log from iGlide and much to my amazement it was all there even though it had not been operational for the last 150km. It loaded to the OLC without problem. You can see from the OLC that it performed perfectly (with the exception that I couldn't get it to stay on the screen)

Any advice on how to declare a task so that an OO can see it and confirm it at the end of the flight?
