Great review! I would only ask about battery life with respect to
flight time.

My own iGlide experience came about from being an eeejit. I left my Oudie 3 at home (a country different to my gliding location/s) and wanted a cheap stand-in to use in a club glider for a 500km task. For me, iGlide worked really well. It logged the entire flight, uploaded to OLC directly as well as emailing the file in both .igc and .kml formats to myself. It also synced with the iPad version via Dropbox. The iPhone was held in a suction mount in vertical orientation and was always readable, no washout in the sun. I use an iPhone 5 and the screen could do with being a little bigger (# of nav boxes are limited). An iPad mini would be too big unless panel mounted. An iPhone 6 would be better and a 6+ great. UI is intuitive and easy to use. I used it without the local TP's because unlike maps and airspace, they can only be loaded via iTunes and I was without my laptop too. Task creation isn't difficult, you can choose your type of OZ and there are some great rubber banding options for modification (like Oz Runways, ForeFlight Mobile, etc). Overall, a good product! It certainly saved me from 'map and compassing' my way around!

I post this from the perspective of a computer literate glider pilot (yes, one of the 12 :P ) and low glider time, high powered time. It was a competitive flight but not a competition (ie. only amongst friends)
