Possibly the future of soaring flight instutments. So happy to see this development happening! Clearly, this is a work in progress but it's pretty remarkable. I'm still learning the ins and outs, but loving this app so far. The Google overlay is incredible. Worth every penny...especially when you consider the cost of an equivalent flight instrument. Keep it up. I can't wait to see where this goes!!

Good app but buggy.. I just landed my paramotor and my flight summary said my max ground speed was 386mph... And if you try to playback a flight, none of the graphs work properly when you fast forward the timeline. In addition apple watches have been out for years now, when are we going to log heart rate to go with the flight data?

Not working. Cannot get it to start... I'm using an iPhone 4 on OS 4.3.3 Hope it will work somehow...? Or do I need OS 5 for this? It is not marketed as so like other apps that do the same stuff.

Great info - and they have in app options. I just posted a review that said they need in app options to changes the units of measurement, but those options are included! Such a great app!

Good, but...... Awesome app, always use it!!!!!!!!!!

Best PG iphone app by far. Been using it all last season w an ipico vario and it has replaced all my instruments. Now I only have my phone in my flight deck and love it. The customizability of the screens is GREAT. You will need an external battery but they are cheap and still way less than a dedicated instrument. The waypoint and task setup could use refinement but they work and I've used it in our local comps many times. I'd pay more if it meant faster development but as is its insanely cheap for what you get when you compare to dedicated instruments.

Incredible app for Paramotoring. Can’t say enough good things about it. One feature I’d like to have is the ability to name your logbook flights and save some comments on each flight. This app is worth every penny. Update: Please fix bug on flight log replay. The “distance covered” data will continuously add up if the replay is reversed and played again.

Happy to be HIGH. Fantastic app. I use this app, in conjunction with a bluefly vario. I love it. I also use it when I fly my powered parachute and experimental amphibious fixed wing.

Altimeter issues. App worked great in the past? But is no longer reporting on my altitude. Not sure if this is due to an IOS issue or maybe Apple Watch integration, but it’s annoying. Otherwise the app has been great.

Great but needs a few tweaks. This is a great app. I was a bit surprised, however, that it does not use the barometric sensors that exist in most smart phones today. I would think that provides better accuracy.

Good App. 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 🙏

Fantastic paragliding vario app!. I’ve been using FlySkyHy as my primary vario for 2 years now. Works great with any iPhone with a barometer, and even better with any paired micro-vario, such as the cheap (but excellent) BlueFly. I use it to log all of my flights automatically, and it well and truly has the capability of replacing expensive dedicated costly varios. The new thermal centering tool in the XC pack is an incredible addition to an already fantastic app!

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

Needs to use barometer for altitude. I like this app, but it needs a little improvement. Mainly it needs to use the built in pressure sensor of smartphones. The gps altitude is always displaying inaccurately. It needs to at least use the barometer to display height above ground and not gps. Or at the very least the ability to choose either gps or pressure altitude. Pressure altitude is way more reliable. That’s what drones and virtually all aviation uses. Because it does not utilize pressure altitude, I had to buy an altimeter watch that does. But id prefer to use only one device. Especially for data and flight telemetry. If altitude is displayed wrong, then the recorded telemetry is also wrong. Sometimes by several hundred feet. The last con is the map. Tap to zoom is not intuitive. It should use pinch to zoom.

Great app for XC Tracer & PG. 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.

Crashed instant upon opening the first time. Has potential but many bugs. Maybe next year they will get this figured out.

App works great for sailplanes. App has been great so far but could definitely use additional sailplane features like an estimate of needed altitude to reach target based on glide ratio and groundspeed. The maps could be a bit more clear resolution as well. I'd like the app icon to be updated to reflect glider pilots as well :) Keep up the good work!

Works well for gliders too. I bought this for just the flight track recorder, but then added the thermal centering extension. Works very well! Much easier to get the most from a thermal and stay attached in it. Very pleased with it. Wish I had a bigger phone.

Great App. I use this app all the time. I have a vario but this app is so much simpler and does everything I need so use this exclusively. An addition that would be cool would be saving layouts so you could swap back and forth.

Best Paraglidng instrument App. I think it’s the best paragliding app out there right now for both completions and free flying especially when you pair it white a small vario like xctracer.

Avoid this app!. Been a Powered Paraglider for years. Bought this app on the recommendation of a fellow pilot. Mistake! Very poor documentation; expensive compared to other more powerful apps that are free; and any real useful features are $7.99 each. Look around and you’ll find much better free apps with great documentation and tutorials.

Only good for recording tracks. None of the numerical instruments give useable numbers: - lift is insanely optimistic, often showing 2m/s+ when my other instrument and senses tells me more realistically that I’m going down. - glide ratio is very pessimistic - wind speed calculations always believe I have a massive tailwind when on glide because of speed bar. Calculations are even further off if your phone is not aligned to your direction of flight. - if more than 100km from my house, height agl is equal to my altitude msl, indicating that the app is not loading ground height data. This is even when I have very good reception. As a result the only useful things the app does for me are: - show a map (with airspace and waypoints) - record my track - report my position to livetrack24. It does not feel like the full fledged instrument I would expect from a phone app.

Xctrack is better for free. 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.

Works great on iPhone 6. I have no experience of using another device other than an audible only vario. This works consistent with my solar vario. The moving map and red lift dots are great. The wind direction is great. And the graph showing the rate of lift and sink are great. Also that it does not start recording until you launch and stops when you land all automatically. And to be able to replay your whole flight and send or share the flight file makes this a great app. Thank you very much.

Almost 5 Stars. I wish there was a tabulation feature or page. You call it a flight log and while it records all the flight data it doesn't display cumulative flight time. Please list the total flight time elapsed and total number of flights flown. You could provide further info such as flights per month and per year if you were so inclined. During flight playback you can't zoom. And I also don't know if tapping to zoom in/out is better or worse than pinching but it took me a little while to figure that out.

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

?. One major drawback (for USA pilots) is the inability to switch to feet and miles instead of meters. Also, to be able to manually stop and start and pause recording would be nice. Being able to resize graphs and zoom out and scroll the map would be nice too. But overall, very nice and useful app.

Wonderful app. This app contains all my PPG and PPC GPS tracks since nearly all the way back to when I started flying. Hundreds of flights. It integrates seamlessly with LiveTrack24, and it’s nice to know that all my flights are automatically backed up through that integration. Love it.

Unintuitive and frustrating. I really hate to write a bad review especially for such a niche sport but this app is painfully unintuitive and confusing. I was not getting accurate information either compared to another similar app I’ve used. Hope the devs can work to improve the experience.

Not great. 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.

No other paragliding / ppg app compares. Easy to use and loads of data logging for flight track junkies. Easy to use interface makes it effortless for you to control app. Developer is very involved and always available for emails. Great product!

An exceptionally well built app. 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.

Great App with a few shortcomings. Great App. Been using this for couple days. Works really well and nicely picks up known Paragliding places. Adding following features can make it great and the reason I gave it 4 stars only. 1. Can’t Zoom the map. 2. Can’t edit and add a custom name of the paragliding site if it’s not automatically picked up by the App. 3. The ability to make a manual entry to the flight log. Others it’s a great app

Fantastic for paramotors too. 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.

Great map and waypoint app. This is a full featured app: - moving maps - digital instruments - waypoints, routes - airspace The waypoint and airspace features are add-ons, but worth the cost. This gives XC pilots everything to plan and fly a route.

Amended: My ‘Go-to’ App for PPG and Pg. 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.

Great app. I use it on an old iPhone 6+ and pair it to an Xc tracer 4 for vario as the vario lag from the phone is terrible (not the fault of the app) But this combo is amazing. Fantastic app. Can’t fault it.

No hight data for airspace. Hi, i just purchased the subscription for the airspace just to find out that it only shows the airspace borders but doesn’t show me lower or upper limit of airspace. So if I’m to approach a class c airspace let’s say 2000-5000 I would not have the information that I could fly below the airspace. I think for a yearly subscription we could expect to have the airspace limits written next to the boarder lines on the chart. Thanks Regards

Nothing beats it!. I used XCsoar on andriod & kobo ended up selling it when I found "flyskyhy" which beats it hands down, so much so I updated from 5s to iphone 6 plus just to run it full on. It seems to be reliable, in flight never stops or freezes is easy to use and the screen is perfectly visable on iphone 5 or 6 when flying. I also bought ivariometer, thermgeek, flynet all do not come up to the high standard of flyskyhy. Get it and you wont regreat it. Update 2016 - It has become all iPhone paragliding owners Main software. For longer flights extra battery needed. 5 star colour graphics mapping and extra ease of use to program tasks.

If you’re paragliding with an iPhone, this is the one!. I’ve been using this app for years, it does almost everything you could want in a vario/navigation app. Some won’t like the pricing model, but if you don’t need airspace or waypoints, or offline maps, then congrats, it’s cheaper! Get the XC package though, the thermal centring tool is amazingly helpful for finding and staying in that lift.

Awesome but bring back open in Google earth working. I ve been using this app for paramotor since my debut. Love it, most useful tool during my flight. But Open in Google Earth use to be working. Not anymore, can you repair it please? Thx Stephane, Quebec, Canada

Great App. Would love to see this work with Apple Watch as the Apple Watch would be a natural for this app.

Some instructions would be perfect!. I don't know really what to say about this. It looks like a good app, but it thinks that I'm in Germany someplace. I don't know how to import a map for my area.. Though I gave it my lat and long and a 20 km radius... Once it loaded the map I figured it would be easy to find. No clue at all where that map is.. How to access it or anything. Maybe a nice tutorial for people who aren't living in Germany. If I can use it.. Then I can rate it.. But for now I can't.

Decent app, some significant problems.. I've been using this app for almost a year now and it works well enough. Though I have some big issues I would like resolved. - prices for the additional packages, especially the XC package, are outrageous. Over 11 dollars for like 1 useful feature is insane! Come on. - sometimes my screen rotation locks in landscape for no reason and I can't fix it while flying without force closing the app which will obviously interrupt my flight tracking... - the vario used to seem really good on my 6+, but for some reason on my 6s it has a pretty bad delay. Not sure what that's about.
