Hot Air for Positive User Reviews
✓ Fantastic programI have used this program for a year now and it's fantastic WELL DONE.Version: 6.3
✓ Amazing appReally great app for balloonists. Thanks.Version: 11.0.1
✓ FlyingOmaGreat app. I have been using this app since it came out. I am amazed at how it works. When I started ballooning we only had CB radios. iPhones and these apps change ballooning and the way we communicate with our crew! Wonderful!! No more sitting in a field for crew to catch up..Version: 9.1
✓ Hot air app is fantastic!I am a pilot and i have been using this app for a few about 2 years now, I just love it. My favorite part is not the log but the real time tracking showing positioning on the map as well as direction (love the bearing bar that stretches with speed), speed, altitude, and even Wind Map that i only have seen before on a flytec 6040. It can record flight paths and display on map, which is very nice too. It now features glympse tracking for the crew and little refinements like trimming your flight track when you forgot to press stop at the end of the flight. The interface looks very good and it has all the functions I could dream of. Without data service, the map range is limited to about 10 miles from the last place you had connection to the Internet, this can be a little short if you have to drive away from home before you launch. It would be nice to have a little more map buffer, but it does work without connection. When i manage to tether my iPad to my phone then the map keeps updating, I don't enter the "uncharted territory". I will download the in-app maps, hopefully this will address the issue. Every balloonist should give it a try, this app is such a bargain for what it provides to the pilot. It is awesome, and Shawn you are awesome too for creating it. Thank you!.Version: 8.0.2
✓ Good ballooning app esp as it remembers winds at different altitudesGreat app, worth the money and apparently now linked to glympse..Version: 8.0.2
✓ Hot airSo far it works GREAT!.Version: 5.0.2
✓ Almost complete balloonist appHot air improve since its begining... realy enjoy using it. some feature would been even more great with some improvement. but event then... still one of the best..Version: 11.0.1
✓ Much Needed ToolHighly useful app. Something I can rely on every day as a commercial pilot. For challenging flights it can be essential. Once, when surface fog suddenly encroached below, this became my window to see where I was ultimately able to land safely. My VFR aircraft became IFR capable. It's also great to be able to send customers a view of their flight path..Version: 9.0
✓ Fabulous training toolAs a rookie pilot, this is a great tool to review my flight and learn much more than memory alone. Very helpful logbook feature. I recently lost some data, emailed the developer, and got a quick and very helpful response. Thanks!.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Great logbookGreat app to keep details of your flight! Glympse is also great to help your chase crew. Great teaching tool..Version: 8.0.3
✓ Good app, but could be betterThis is a nice app, and the live tracking is great. Needs to be able to transfer live tracking info into flight log..Version: 0
✓ Totally Awesome!Brand new to the Ballooning community… this App rocks! Having a visual map of the flight's track is just cool and the app reminds me what basic information I should be tracking. I agree with another's suggestion that some way to remind me to begin the track (and a simpler way to start the track) would be icing!.Version: 7.1
✓ Hot AirExcellent app for hot-air ballooning. May need some minor tweaks for UK use (e.g. Option of knots as well / instead of mph please). But overall the best app for the purpose!.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Great toolGreat for family and friends to follow your flight. They even often meet me at the landing site. Sometimes even beat the crew!.Version: 8.0.4
✓ PilotFlying balloons in southern cal for the summer. Just flew 24 times in a month. Love the app. Wondering why tracking doesn't go to flight log..Version: 9.1.2
✓ All you needI have been using this app now for 2 month everyday hot air ballooning. If you are a balloon pilot get this app. With the map overlays you can put all your takeoff and landing sites, PZs, and a file from the power company you can have all power lines on it too. This is a must have for the balloon pilot. Just love it..Version: 9.0
✓ Flight log - AwsomeEasy to use. Works well. Should have had it years ago. Keeps track of my flight activity. Gives a nice record of the flight path to my pax..Version: 7.2.1
✓ Love it!Great app for any hot air balloon pilot!.Version: 9.1.3
✓ Best ballooning logbookThis is a great app and the best ballooning logbook out there!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ DriceBrilliant!.Version: 9.1.1
✓ Excellent app, really usefulPerfect for logging flights. Good features..Version: 8.0.4
✓ Insanely Accurate!I can’t brag enough about Hot Air for my hot air balloon flights! My crew, my passengers and I ThankYou for your generous sharing..🎈👍 It is a God-sent app here in Leon, Mexico!🎈.Version: 11.0.1
✓ If you even think about flying balloons, get this!I can't add much more original praise for this incredibly useful app than what has already been said. Regular updates, solid reliability now, multiple user suggestions that have been integrated quickly, and many useful features come together in a bargain-priced package. Its value is worth ten times the price. The track projection feature is a most handy way to check your likely flight path. My only suggestion at this point is to add an option to stretch that path beyond 5 minutes for extended projection. This app is simple to use even for those afraid of electrons. Flying as much as I do, it's easy to get behind on logging flights, and this app makes it dead simple to stay up-to-date no matter how long I've been away from home. If you even think about flying balloons, get this!.Version: 6.2
✓ Hot airGreat and vert usefull app With GPS glimpse position added and sent to the chase crew it makes life easier for everyone..Version: 9.1
✓ Don't fly your balloon without this !I have been flying balloons for more than 40 years and I can say this is the best navigation program on the market and I would not consider launching without taking "HOT AIR", with me in the balloon..Version: 11.0.1
✓ Best Balloon pilot AppLove it ! All in one place, dont need my GPS anymore,.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Great App but...This app likes to freeze on iOS 8 if you switch to another applied the camera. There has been a few times that one of my friends I was flying with used my phone to take photos and when I went back to the app, it was frozen and/or unexpectedly quit. I guess it's not meant to run in the background. Other than that, it's an amazing app and I love it!!!.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Love this app!I use it for flying my powered paraglider. It would be cool if you could call your aircraft an aircraft rather than a balloon, but this is an app for balloons. :) Love to have playback capability of flights but this app suits my needs perfectly!.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Really great app and supportI've been using this app for a couple of years and has become my goto app. I use it for tracking as well as for my logbook. My phone crashed and mangled the database. I asked for help from the developer and had a very quick response from the developer. I emailed him my database and had it fixed and back to me in less than one day. I love this app!!! Only wish I could share data between my iphone and ipad..Version: 8.0.4
✓ Hot AirThe only thing that I have not been able to do is track (ground crew) the flight from another iPhone. The app itself is very reliable and does as it was designed to do. The tracking data is as cool as one would expect. The flights on google earth are way cool to look at. I would definitely buy again if I had to! Did anyone notice that we are not pilots but just lowly crew members? I love this app!!!.Version: 7.2.1
✓ Line to Target?This app is fantastic, but if it had a line to target (a la MotionX) I would give it all 5 stars..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Hot AirExcellent application. Very handy, even in the air..Version: 6.1
✓ Nothing better.Hot air is a great app for ballooning. The best value on any app I’ve had to purchase. Thank you for making our ballooning more enjoyable!.Version: 12.1.2
✓ Great record of flightReally pleased with this App which records the flight track, max speed and altitude etc. of a flight. It totals up the cumulative hours for the pilot and for each registered balloon flown, the pax details, weight, propane used, names of crew. Reads speeds in MPH not knots which I would prefer. This can all be synchronised with google earth to provide a 2D track. A very cool App. Recommended..Version: 9.1.3
✓ Love itSo happy with this. An amazingly helpful tool for new pilots and chase crews!.Version: 11.0.1
✓ Hot - great ballooning app.I think this app is superb for ballooning. There are a few things that I would like to have enhanced, however I have now used it for 18 months and found it to be very good. It is reasonably easy to add the sensitive area maps for uk..Version: 7.1
✓ FB stopped workingThey fixed the bug with Glympse, but now the only way to post to Facebook is to save a track image and start a post in the Facebook app..Version: 12.2.0
✓ UsefulGreat app. Wish one could draw boundaries and other stuff but still, excellent navigational aid.Version: 11.0.1
✓ Great App, very useful!I find this app to be invaluable in helping me to organize and keep track of my flights. Anyone who flys at any frequency should own this. Ali a nice tool to show friends your flight paths..Version: 9.1
✓ Awesome!A great app! It makes logging your flight easy and quick..Version: 9.1.1
✓ Use every flightI love it! Use for every flight. Today the satellite image to make an approach to land in a non familiar area..Version: 9.1.2
✓ You can't beat it!This is an awesome app for a balloon pilot. I used numerous other tools to tracks and log my flight before Hot Air came out; now I am down to just this application. It allows me to post my location in real-time by integrating with Glympse and provides me post flight data to review my conditions of the flight. If you are a balloon pilot I say you shouldn't fly without it!!.Version: 8.0.4
✓ Great but...... The iCloud function does not work which is a real shame, flights on my iPhone do not show up on my ipad or new iPhone..Version: 7.0.1
✓ Needs IPadOS 16 updateI have been using this app for many years, both privately and commercially and it works great, up until I updated my iPad to IOS16, since then, it keeps freezing mid flight. Another very useful suggestion would be to enable different colour Overlay pins. Great work though, really appreciate all your hard work. 👍 (Using iPad Pro M1 11inch 2021 Cellular).Version: 12.2.0
✓ Great ballooning app!I'm hooked and a daily user with my ride business. I would like to see it easier to upload a map. To get more than a straight line between start and finish points I have to email the map to myself and save the image on my home computer. 2 steps. I would also like it if the bread crumbs left on the track would interact with Google Latitude which I already use with an iPad in the truck. It's just hard to see the path of the balloon with out crumbs..Version: 4.1
✓ Hot airVery good apps for hot air balloning. Once you understand how it works, it is like having cruise controll on your balloon! Shawn is open to idea and constantly improove the apps..Version: 4.3.1
✓ Love itLove the product. Nice to be able to run on both iPad and iPhone..Version: 10.0
✓ Excellent valueCombines real time tracking with logging and documentation - sharing the track as a 3D Google Earth display really wows the crew, passengers and student pilots..Version: 10.0
✓ Great appI have used this app for a couple of years. My customers love seeing their flight on google earth..Version: 8.0.2
✓ AmazingHad to change my phones and ran into some issues with Hot Air and my new iPhone 4s conflicting. Sent Shawn a email and within no time he had me back up and running and helped rescue all my old flight logs. I have to say this has been the best app with my phone and more then worth the purchase price. If you have a iPad or iPhone and a balloonist this is a must have app..Version: 7.0.1
✓ My mapping appGreat app for balloonist! Really like it!.Version: 9.1.1
✓ AppsAwesome apps for pilot.Version: 6.2
✓ Great AppAwesome digital logbook! Flight tracker!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Well doneI like the navigation through the app. It makes it easy to add trips. Nice design!.Version: 6.1
✓ Best 4 dollars you will spend in ballooningI fly balloons for a living and just being able to track the data from flights is very helpful ( take off and landing sites, fuel consumed, # pax, crew members, aircraft each have their own place for log entry). Analyzing the flight track afterwards can also be very helpful in improving your flight decisions and techniques. I use it in an area that I am very familiar with and I still extract map data from it which is very helpful to get the crew to the appropriate landing site ahead of time. This aspect would be invaluable in an unfamiliar area. Great product!.Version: 7.0.1
✓ Stay with itI stay with iPhone just for this app.Version: 11.0.1
✓ ExcellentGreat app for ballooning..Version: 10.1
✓ One of my favorite apps! A must have for all balloonistI wish I had time to write a lengthy review outlining everything about this app that I like. If you fly balloons you should buy this app, period. Do it..Version: 6.3
