Live tracking does not seem to be working. I would love it if had the ability to to display ADSB-in traffic. I would pay more if you could have it display ADSB traffic data from uAvioni PingUSB or other ADSB-in devices.
Best PPG tracking app for Android!
Entered waypoints are not saved for recalling later unless you allow the app to access your phone files. If you don't do this when installing the app, you can't enable permission later. In that case, you must uninstall, then reinstall the app. Documentation lacks adequate description of terms and operation. Poor responsiveness to my questions from developer. Nice that you can arrange the screen as wanted. Overall, I like it for the price of under $5. The app has potential for a 5 rating if the developer would listen to and implement improvement ideas from customers.
Doesn't record full flight. Only tracks maybe 1/5th of it.
Well done. That bit where you determine the winds aloft from ground track is a nice piece of code!
I'm happy with this app. In fact it was only one that didn't record the flight.
Great Paramotor app. Unfortunately, live tracking is not working for any Android devices (only iOS shows up). This is a great safety feature (if someone has trouble and don't come back, it's easy to find them). Other than that, best Paramotor APP available
Help, after this upgrade my tracks are gone from the menu.
I really like this app. But is there a way to save flight logs so you can go back later and review them? Would love to be able to title and save my flights so I can go back and see things like what my highest altitude was etc. Thanks!
New to Ppg and this app Works great. Keeps me oriented and perfect for wind direction
