Flyskyhy

Xc track is better for free. I thought I would like this app but for the money it’s not worth it. You can’t customize your screens and you only get two screens even with buying all the options.

Best app ever for paramotoring. Easily share your flight with other pilots. Pinpoint accuracy to check flight history. Flight replay.

Any plans for Apple Watch support? That would be very useful for basic info like altitude ground speed etc. just a thought. Awesome app.

I’ve now used this app for more than two years. I’ve logged both PG and PPG flights during that time with more than 200 hours para motor flights. Since my first review, I’ve had several exchanges with developer by email who was always very responsive. Kudos. The newly added Comments field (after flight editable) and other enhancements are greatly enhance this App’s use as useful logbook to record notes about each specific flight. The flight tracking function and ability to replay the flights seems very accurate. Found and linked to my BlueFlyvario easily.

I use this app for paragliding, Bluetooth paired with my XC Tracer Mini II GPS (instead of internal iPhone sensors which aren’t as accurate), and it works splendidly! IMO, anyone who is expecting an app to turn their phone into a solid variometer is kidding themselves, and really not using this kind of app appropriately. Doing that is relying on internal phone sensors that simply aren’t meant to be used for a variometer. However, if one pairs their phone to a REAL variometer and uses this app as the display, it is GREAT! Customizable screens make personalized layout easy. Landscape layout means it fits on my flight deck nicely. Thermal display and auto-switching to thermalling display facilitate centering on the thermal core. The Telegram group chat for extra tips and help is super handy too. I really don’t have any complaints.

The only useful thing this app does is send data to livetrack24, and it only kind of does that. There is no feedback if someone messes up their livetrack24 login credentials in the app, it just doesn’t send data. We were fighting this all week at our event after recommending people use this app. Also when uploading flights to leonardo the data (glider type etc) doesn’t work correctly. Anything else this app could be good for requires buying “extensions” so to have full functionality this is a $40 app. I would love to have a moving map with airspace, roads, towns, waypoints and maybe even other pilots I am flying with. This app might do it but no way it’s worth $40 to find out.

I looked at many different apps to use while paramotoring, and even considered the expensive (but nice) Garmin smartwatch options. FlySkyHy gives me everything I would want and more, in a highly customizable interface clearly designed by someone who flies. I particularly like the automatic flight logs and the ability to display altitude above sea level and above ground level at the same time. If I had any criticism, it's that the emphasis on function over form leaves it looking a tiny bit homemade. But I would trade an ornamental interface for an well-considered and functional one any day.

I normally use the “thermal assistant” like back up from my vario, this last weekend I forgot my instrument and one of the back up batteries on home. I was able to close a dreamed FAI triangle and make a small 30 kms task the next day. I highly recommend this app, my only suggestion is: “Is possible have a “voice assistance” with a count down for the start, like 5 minutes, 1 minute, 30 seconds, 10,9,8…. and/or can choose any sound we want for the alarms like Start open or en every waypoint? Thanks 🙏

This app perfectly replaces the need for a high end flight instrument for just a few dollars. And it makes sense, you already have the best computer/gps in your pocket. The thermal centering tool is excellent and has significantly helped me improve my thermaling abilities. I also love how it will switch between the glide screen and thermal screen automatically. The wind direction tool is also pretty accurate and has helped me determine the wind direction a number of times. Battery life is good on an iPhone 11 but I do recommend using an external battery for longer flights. You can also turn the screen off which will save battery. I even broke my vario and for a few months used the built in vario in the app. While slightly delayed compared to a dedicated vario, it still works very well. So well I’m fact, that my 3 longest flights were all accomplished using the built in vario. An awesome option as a back up vario, or for more casual pilots that don’t want to pay big money for a dedicated vario. Also, you can change the vario sound! As someone who uses a Bluetooth speaker to listen to music while flying, this is a hugely underrated feature. Finally I can pick a sound and volume level that blends perfectly with my music instead of a clashing beep beep. I could go on and on about the features, but overall the app is extremely well built, performs a variety of functions, and is incredibly stable. I was considering switching to android but I think I may have to stay in the iPhone ecosystem just for this app—it’s that good. Strongly recommend to anyone who’s a paragliding pilot with a flight deck.

The new iPad Mini is the perfect size for a paragliding instrument panel. The app works, but only fills about 75% of the screen. It would be perfect if it filled the entire screen! Thanks!
