Ratings and reviews

Installed and was repeatedly blocked by a full page ad with a long delay before I could "X" out of it and get back into the app. Over and over... Another pilot kept referring to this app, saying it would be flyable at a certain time, or the winds would be this at another time. Those forecasts were wildly incorrect. I don't "look for places to fly," so the default map view of sites would have little value.

The Idea and functionality is very good. Used often free version. Due to my work I was wordwide on remote places. Many sites were not updated. On a trip in Turkey, I started subscription. This app is the easiest way to find/navigate_to new sites. I was in contact with the developer, Craig. Very helpful and responsive. He needs input from pilots or locals to update the sites to get a valuable and all-in-one tool for enjoying paragliding all over the world. I will contribute with information.

Update 2020: this is still my Go To app when travelling or abroad, and at home to. Lots have been added and updated so try it again if you weren't sure B4 100% worth paying the subscription especially when travelling even if you just pay for the month while on holiday. I love this app. Makes life so much easier seeing everything at a glance. Links to more detailed sites if you want to get more in depth info. Had an issue but Craig sorted it out incredibly quickly. Well worth the money :D :D .
