## Hot Air Reviews in United States

### ***** "Love it but…"
Please make it an option not to send a Glympse! It’s not necessary and a waste of time to some of us. Other than that, it’s great and I use it for every flight.
-- Balloon Woman in the Sky, 2024-06-02

### ***** "Nothing better."
Hot air is a great app for ballooning. The best value on any app I’ve had to purchase. Thank you for making our ballooning more enjoyable!
-- mtl_nh, 2021-09-19

### *---- "Crashing"
App is crashing after newest update
-- LTAHAB, 2021-04-01

### ***** "Insanely Accurate!"
I can’t brag enough about Hot Air for my hot air balloon flights! My crew, my passengers and I ThankYou for your generous sharing..🎈👍 It is a God-sent app here in Leon, Mexico!🎈
-- Golden High, 2021-01-18

### ***** "Don't fly your balloon without this !"
I have been flying balloons for more than 40 years and I can say this is the best navigation program on the market and I would not consider launching without taking "HOT AIR", with me in the balloon.
-- Ted Gauthier, 2019-10-27

### ***** "Outstanding for LTA pilots"
I use this application on every flight.  It gives invaluable information in flight, including giving me a view of things like powerlines (loaded by KML) as I fly.  

Also serves as outstanding reference on past flights, to view trends over time, and also as electronic logbook, with back-up features.  

Outstanding app that increases my safety in-flight, and increases my enjoyment of the flights as I review the experience with outputs from the tool (like the flight track) after the flight.
-- TrappePH, 2019-01-21

### ***** "Love it"
So happy with this. An amazingly helpful tool for new pilots and chase crews!
-- Straight Up Ballooning, 2018-10-23

### ***-- "Hot air ap"
I love this ap. My crew would not be able to find me without this ap. Sometimes we land in mountainous areas and from the road the balloon disappears. Having the hot air ap. is awesome.
-- hot springs123, 2018-07-14

### ***** "Stay with it"
I stay with iPhone just for this app
-- flypanacea, 2018-07-01

### ***** "Excellent"
Great app for ballooning.
-- MFRBenzo, 2017-10-06
