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!
Update July 2020: Well they’ve updated it! It’s not dead. On the bright side, the map data downloads again, and it’s been moved so it doesn’t let iOS automatically purge map data to free up space any more. That’s good! Unfortunately: it no longer records my flights! It used to automatically add flights to the “logbook” but this no longer works, all flight GPS data is lost when you close the app and cannot be exported. I’ve lost three days worth of flight data this weekend. Previous problem still exists: No “cancel” when tapping a map data time. Only “delete” or “reload”. This is a huge problem for the USA map because the buttons are tiny. See below. Sadly, with the loss of the GPS data recording function, I now cannot use this app at all now, and will have to find a replacement. I will keep an eye out for updates though. Previous review, ca. 2019: This was a great glide computer. Sadly the map data doesn’t seem to be downloadable any more. My most major complaint was that the app stores its map and airport/airspace data in a location that iOS automatically purges, so pretty much every time you use this app you have to redownload the map data, which is pretty tedious (the download screen had extremely small buttons and if you “missed” your only option was “delete” or “download again”—frustrating!). Sadly I can not recommend this app since it appears to be abandoned (no update in over two years) and no longer downloads map data at all.
I’ve worked with this for months but now have given up. Can’t get a valid IGC file out, constantly crashes and reboots, no updates in years. They’re taking money but doing nothing. I don’t believe anyone is really still using this. Newer iOS probably killed it.
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.
Total waste of money! It leads you to spend it on the Iglide Pro which is probably better..
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!
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!
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!
Cannot find any support. Cannot figure out how to use it. Has no US map data, no instructions how to download the data. Looks like abandoned software, with good potential, but left hanging in thin air by the developer.
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.
