Flyskyhy for Positive User Reviews
✓ 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!.Version: 6.5.2
✓ 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..Version: 5.1
✓ Great map and waypoint appThis 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..Version: 4.2
✓ Great appBrilliant app and getting better all the time. Don't waste your money on oudies etc if you have an iPhone. Get this and an external battery and you're sorted..Version: 4.5
✓ Best PG iphone app by farBeen 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..Version: 3.2
✓ Top appFantastic app you couldn’t ask for more…. works better than any virometer I have used EVER…. now the only instrument you need is an iPhone 6 plus and this app. strap it to your arm with wireless head phones (saves hours of phone battery life) and away you go. no need for a bulky flight deck on your lap. virometer £600 gps £300 maps £600 compass £100…….this app priceless…...Version: 4.2
✓ Good, but.....Awesome app, always use it!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 6.15
✓ App works great for sailplanesApp 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!.Version: 7.2
✓ SuperbUse this app every microlight flight. Absolutely indispensable!.Version: 3.2
✓ 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..Version: 7.3.2
✓ Amended: My ‘Go-to’ App for PPG and PgI’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..Version: 7.3.2
✓ No other paragliding / ppg app comparesEasy 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!.Version: 3.1
✓ Great flight appI am a CP and was looking to replace an ageing Garmin and decided I wanted to have a solution as flexible as possible. After some research I purchased a Sensbox and was thrilled with it but wanted to find a fantastic companion app that was good but did not break the bank. FlySkyHy once the Wayponts and Airspaces options were purchased "in app" is simply a fantastic App. As I use it I am finding that compared to other more expensive apps that pair up with the SensBox it meets them head to head and works brilliantly..Version: 3.2
✓ Altimeter issuesApp 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..Version: 6.5.2
✓ ?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..Version: 2.0
✓ ParamotoringBest app ever for paramotoring. Easily share your flight with other pilots. Pinpoint accuracy to check flight history. Flight replay..Version: 7.3.2
✓ Incredible app for ParamotoringCan’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..Version: 6.14
✓ Good AppI 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 🙏.Version: 7.3.2
✓ Great AppI 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..Version: 4.4
✓ Great app for flying PPGThis app has great potential. Easy to make changes and settings. Great menu layout, totally customisable. Feature requests: 1) Be able to change colour / size of breadcrumb trail. More details included with pacifier for how far map preload is? (Maybe total MB to be downloaded and how much still needs to be done?) 2) To have my LIVE flight log posted to Facebook and have a live feed into a map of where I am flying like I do on my Runmeter app on my iphone..Version: 3.5
✓ Best Paraglidng instrument AppI 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..Version: 6.15
✓ An exceptionally well built appThis 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..Version: 7.2
✓ Excellent app. Thank you.Thank you for an excellent app. Whilst I have yet to connect to a device via Bluetooth it still gives me very useful tracking data. Please keep up the good work and thank you again..Version: 3.2
✓ Works well for gliders tooI 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..Version: 6.11
✓ Great appI 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..Version: 7.2
✓ Great AppWould love to see this work with Apple Watch as the Apple Watch would be a natural for this app..Version: 5.1
✓ No hight data for airspaceHi, 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.Version: 7.3.2
✓ Possibly the future of soaring flight instutmentsSo 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!!.Version: 3.0
✓ Almost 5 StarsI 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..Version: 5.2
✓ Good option for PG or PPGI have now done 5 PPG flights with this APP and have 4 customised pages to suit my needs. For PPG in the UK the airspace option is very useful. I have recommended it to folk at my club. I would advise that you attach your phone to a power bank as you fly as it uses a lot of my battery. It is also possible to view your flight records in 3D google earth.Version: 6.15
✓ Happy with thisI fly paramotor (PPG) and this fits my needs best out of the few apps I have tried. Nothing wrong with E.G. XCSoar, Paraglider Dashboard or Variometer this is really a personal choice depends what you want. This app is so easy to personalize ie set your own screen layout. There are nine after flight log file output formats choices, they should cover most users needs. The “show hand go to next screen” works well. Mostly I was impressed with the support though. I asked a question from the developer and got a reply in less than 24h (October 2018)..Version: 6.12
✓ Best app everBought this app as my Flytec 6015 kicked the bucket. Brilliant vario and gps. Better than my Flytec by far. Works a treat. Why would any pilot now buy expensive vario/gps when there is this app..Version: 4.2
✓ Just superbI use this for hang gliding. Paired with a Flynet 2 Bluetooth vario and with an iPhone 4s mounted on my arm. I also use an external battery and wired earphones inside my helmet. About 14 hours battery life. Intuitively customisable and very clear display, so full of features that it defies description. Would like a separate volume control for the sink tone but that is my solitary, non-significant gripe. Try it!.Version: 4.2
✓ Great for iPhone, what about for iPad?The new iPad Mini is the perfect size for a paragliding instrument panel. The app works, but only fills about 75% of the screen. It would be perfect if it filled the entire screen! Thanks!.Version: 7.2
✓ Works great on iPhone 6I 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..Version: 4.2
✓ بهترین وریوبهترین وریو متر و سنسنور حساس نسبت به بقیه نرم افزار ها داره.Version: 6.12
✓ Great info - and they have in app optionsI 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!.Version: 7.0
✓ Wonderful appThis 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..Version: 6.16
✓ Brilliant paragliding gap vario.Works best when paired with a power pack (to keep iPhone charged) and one of these makes of Bluetooth vario: Digifly Bluefly XCTracer Totally customisable displays. Great for XC and airspace avoidance..Version: 8.0.2
✓ Great AppFantastic app at a great price. Starting out in paragliding this is a great way to track and review flights. Any chance of adding a running total time of the logged flights? This would make it easier to track airtime and hours on the wing..Version: 7.0
✓ Great but needs a few tweaksThis 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..Version: 6.12
✓ Fantastic for paramotors tooI 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..Version: 7.3.2
✓ Happy to be HIGHFantastic 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..Version: 6.9
✓ Needs to use barometer for altitudeI 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..Version: 6.12
✓ Great App with a few shortcomingsGreat 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.Version: 6.15
✓ Awesome but bring back open in Google earth workingI 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.Version: 6.16
