Whats new in theVariometer v3.1

6 things about theVariometer

1. Usage - without - an internal or external sensor is possible, but subject to known the limitations of a pure GPS operation, such as using only open-air, a good GPS signal and altitude changes > 5m with at least 1-2 m/s.
2. The app reacts a little somewhat slower, as e.g. a Bräuninger- or Flytec Vario, if you use the internal pressure sensor of the iPhone, because the sensor doesn't provide data as often as an external sensor.
3. The app requires a good GPS signal, if no internal or external pressure sensor can be used.
4. In conjunction with an external sensor such as ASI FlyNet2, FlyTec SenseBox or the XC-TRacer, the app provides even more precise climb- and sink-rates.
5. Since version 3.0 the app supports iOS9, as well as the pressure sensor of your iPhone 6(s) or iPhone 6(s) Plus.
6. This nice little tool - a must have for every paraglider pilot - emulates a variometer on your iPhone.

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

Need improvements

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 Android 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.

Some what ok

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.
