theVariometer

It doesn’t work and it is a waste of your money!

App does not work as described. Wasted $5. Does not work as a vario at all. Some settings are totally inoperable.

I had high hopes for this app to use as a backup vario in my sailplane. Granted it will not be compensated and less accurate than pressure based but should still be helpful in case of dead vario. But I found it not very usable from the following reasons: 1- as soon as I get high enough and outside cell coverage it keeps complaining with error messages and freezes. Not having cell coverage is common 90% of the time where I fly and there is no need for cell coverage just for the vario functionality. 2- audio beeps are very unintuitive. The rate of the beeps should increase, not just the pitch, like any normal vario. 3- it is not clear what is the purpose of the secondary vario scale. Surely the needle should not move down to the center if the rate of climb exceeds 5 m/s! 4- the app should not allow the iPhone to auto lock ! 5 - feet per second is not a common non metric unit. The scale should be in knots! 6- digital rate of climb should be 20 sec average not instantaneous especially since GPS altitude is not smooth. Please fix all these and ill be happy to give a better review and recommend it to the whole gliding community.

Its good app for beginner to have a variometer without give lot of money

It's a nice toy. Ok to register your flights and then see it in a map. Latly very much problems with accuracy in altitude. It showed 1400m when i was at 1200m AMSL. Registers movements in altitude even when I am stand still with my glider waiting to take off.

Very accurate, quick, precise. Love it. Can't beat the price.

Do not even bother to buy this for fun let alone true flying. No volume control, vario goes crazy every few seconds and app crashes after switching from vario to map screens few times by itself.

Aufzeichnung funktioniert jetzt nicht mehr. Landungszeit ist immer 1:00:00. Die App habe ich bis jetzt bei 5 Flüge benutzt. Sie funktioniert bisher fast gut. Die Funktion mit dem autotracking ist aber leider unbrauchbar, da sie oft die Aufzeichnung stoppt und wieder startet. Was neue trips generiert obwohl man noch im selben Flug ist. Eine Erklärung der Funktion wäre notwendig. Die Anpassung an das iPhonex wäre mM nach angesagt. Die Aufzeichnung an sich ist manchmal fehlerhaft. Ein Demo der Töne wäre auch gut zu integrieren. Für den Preis erwartet man schon mehr.

leider nicht gut:-(

Nix gut, funktioniert nicht.
