iGlide Lite App Reviews

Nice app, but limited in lite form. Go-to flights only, no drag-and-drop route planning (advertised on Butterfly iGlide editions page). Maps are huge, but gorgeous on iphone 4 Retina display, fuzzy on non-Retina iPad. I'd give the lite version 5-stars if it would replay IGC files - the simulator is clunky. With a couple of revisions, it should be very nice.

The app is generally well organized, but is very buggy. Using the 'direct to' feature, for example, reliably causes the app to crash, deleting any data about the current flight, and leaving no clear options for restarting the recording. The screen occasionally locks up and has to be reset by scrolling away and then back again. So far, I think this is the only iPhone app of this kind. But if you need something even remotely reliable, you should look for another option

I looked at this long and hard before purchasing. Couldn't find much feedback on the Internet. However, I gave it a shot and have not been disappointed. My first indication is that it is a VERY good app. As an added bonus it works VERY well with Condor! I am looking forward analyzing it further during the soaring season!

I bought this app because I am coming into the cross country world. I've used it multiple times and It has blown my mind on how easy it is to use and how simple it is compared to other glide computers such as a Oudie or a PDA/PNA. In fact: When recently flying a good friend of mine in a Duo Discus I programmed iGlide faster than he could with his $700 Oudie! Buy this, you won't regret it.

Excellent product! So easy to use, very intuitive. I love all the nav boxes, especially the SUA vertical profile. Great database. This product is ahead of its time. I use to use CUMobile, but love that this works on iPhone and iPad too! One less device to carry. I also got the air connect to interface it (wirelessly) to a Cambridge 302. About support - awesome! I got my questions answered in less then 1/2 day!

I purchased iGlide lite, liked it, and upgraded to iGlide Pro. On my iPhone 6S, the moving map has good brightness, contrast and resolution. In flight, my Cambridge 302 digital vario sends data to my iPhone via Air Avionic's 'Air Connect' Wi-Fi interface unit. Works great!

This app is very nice, it’s great for airspace awareness and has a voice alert. I have upgraded to the advance version so I could get winds aloft. I’ve also added the WiFi connect device to use my C302 data directly in the app. I see comments on how difficult it is to use, but honestly I don’t see anything that’s tricky about this software. I created a polar version for my glider, and only download the maps you need. I use it on a 5c iPhone because it fits next to my panel. Highly recommend

The app is now on 2.7.1 as of yesterday, and Air Avionics says it is committed to more improvements in the next few months. All data is updated and available.

The app could be improved by showing the track flown, i.e. both out and return in addition to the track displayed to a destination. This is would be particularly useful while flying in blue wave. The map page used to add area has no maps available to download. Who’s minding the app support? This is unacceptable for an app that costs more than $100!
