FunJumpr

The funjumpr app is a game changer for my primary passion sport of skydiving. I started jumping out of planes in 1998 - and I find this app making it so much easier to figure out what day or days it makes sense to jump for the upcoming seven days at a glance. It makes the actual jumps safer by being able to see the effects the winds aloft will have on the jumps clearly and memorably by posting them on an aerial photo of my drop zone where I jump several times a week. I also get to see who else is going to come on a given day that is a good match for my abilities - and also see whether tandems are scheduled for when I come out, ensuring that loads will go up. The drop zone is a three hour round trip drive for me - so making the go/no go decision is a crucial one for my busy schedule. The app shows the predicted winds and weather hour by hour - so when you combine that with scheduled tandems, and who else is going, that decision is much easier to make. Previously I had to go to a lot of different websites to get all of this information, and funjumpr makes it a quick-flowing dynamic decision. You input your own wind limits into your profile - so if the winds exceed your personal limits the app paints a red line down the right side of the hourly weather and you know immediately there’s an issue with your jumping that day. The aerial photo of my drop zone with an adjustable arrow for the jump run is invaluable for planning safe skydives. My responsibility is to consult with the pilot and or dz staff/dz notification board and then input the actual/scheduled jump run onto the aerial map in the app. Once this is done, the app then shows a predicted “drift box” for where canopies should open. This makes the app a great tool for planning both canopy landing patterns (especially for newer jumpers) and for planning movement/angle jumps. You use a finger to draw planned movement jumps for up to 4 different groups to make sure conflicts will be avoided. The technical savvy to do this is easy even for a Senior citizen like me. But the icing on the cake is the ability to see the wind directions in freefall,canopy flight, and ground altitudes laid out clearly on the aerial map. You see the windspeed and direction the winds are blowing right on the map. My drop zone has a runway with a 40/220 degree heading - so being able to understand the wind directions at a glance eliminates a chunk of mental math in translating the wind numbers to what’s actually happening.

This is by far the best app out there for sport jumpers. It has replaced at least 3 different apps for me. This and burble are all you need!

This app is so cool! It allows you to make a profile and add a photo, include your jump number and all that. It also has a social feature that people can say they are going on a certain day, and you can see who will be there! It’s also amazing to have the burble board and weather in the app. Super cool and user friendly, I’d give it 10/5 if I could.

No more running back and forth to check the lock clock cuz this app has it all! Super easy consumer experience! I’ve been using it pretty most days before I jump! From the moment you download the app, you're greeted with a sleek interface designed which is super easy to use for anyone. Insanely easy to navigate!

Incredible app for skydivers. Amazingly smooth interface and easy to use! Been a fan since the beta and looking forward to what’s next!!

4 stars for now would be nice to add Piedmont Skydiving in Salisbury, NC.

Downloaded the app. I like it a lot. Promptly forgot my password. I don’t see a place on the app to reset the password. Thanks.

I began skydiving just over 4 years ago and I have to say, if I would’ve had accessibility to this app in my younger skydiver days, I could’ve saved myself a lot of stress! The ability to adjust your position for accurate landings and proper drift separation, the ability to show accurate weather predictions and even just seeing who will be attending at your designated drop zone, this app is such an awesome tool to have! Seriously recommend it for anybody that is newly licensed! It is such a useful and sometimes even life saving app to use!

All the data you and the homies need for the day at the DZ. Highly recommended especially for organizers to see who’s there, check conditions, and check weather.

DZ’s are graciously being added as needed. Some account verification issues that arose appear to be corrected. App appears that it will be useful, especially as more users begin to utilize it and the who’s going when feature. Definitely looking forward to seeing how it develops and is improved with time and use.
