About this app
CloudAhoy is for pilots’ flight debriefing. Data is logged during flight, and the post-flight service provides a comprehensive debriefing: VFR and IFR, with 2D or 3D flight tracks, profiles, maneuver analysis, instrument approaches and more. Flight logging, listing and viewing is free. Debriefing service is free for 35-days, then it is $65/year.
OUR USERS
CloudAhoy is being used by students, professional pilots, CFIs, military and GA. They fly fixed-wing, rotorcraft and gliders. It is used to debrief VFR and instrument training flights, XC, and special missions such as search and rescue. It is used by recreational pilots for sharing flights with their passengers or friends. Many CloudAhoy users routinely record every flight so that the unexpected can be studied.
OUR TECHNOLOGY
CloudAhoy combines the data captured during the flight with data from other sources including weather, aerodrome data, IAPs, aircraft registry and more. Its rule-based knowledge engine has information about aircraft flight characteristics, and how specific maneuvers should be flown. For example, CloudAhoy understand traffic patterns, steep turns, chandelles, missed approaches, autorotations, and thermalling. CloudAhoy integrates this to provide pilots with clear and precise information about the flight’s stages. The user interface is designed to enable detailed analysis with clarity and ease. And with fun.

Two flights, no data. On two different flights, I've been logged in, tapped the start button, GPS was enabled. Zero data. In fact the second flight didn't even show up at all. Go figure. I've seen FlightChops use the app and I had such high hopes... Primarily because I'm a student pilot and wanted to see things. See what I was doing, what errors I was making. No joy.

The actual service is fantastic, but this app which logs the flights crashes every time I start recording. I hope it can be fixed soon so I can start using it again. I'm on a Pixel 2 XL.

Four flights in and I've got nothing. Insufficient data points is the message. I go online to get help. Help doesn't exist, just report after report of how great the software is. The Cloudahoy blog is similar, no suggestions, just self flaggelation.
