The iOS app (GlideTrack) is free (I think) but, unsurprisingly, has also not been updated since 2014!!! Can you imagine how much iOS has changed in nearly FOUR YEARS? It simply does not work on my iPhone 7+. These developers should be annually compensated with an annual fee.


I just downloaded it. Yes, free. Looks to be a extremely simple app, with almost no UI -- the kind of thing you could throw together in a weekend.

The app shows a URL on the settings screen: http://glideport.aero/api

I went to that address hoping to get the specifications of how to write an app to talk to the server, but that page is a 404 (http not found).
