This new app for iOS looks interesting and is supposed to be available this month. It will be interesting to see how it compares to iGlide.

That page says, among other things:

"Full-feature Gliding navigation powered by Mapbox
Airspace warnings, airports, waypoints, simply anything you might need
on your route via blue skies."

- the meaning of that is unclear, but I suspect that means it will get
map data "on the fly" from their server? Or will it download such data
at home before flying?

I wouldn't count on a cellphone data connection working continuously
while flying. My experience with live tracking using the IGCdroid app
is that the cellphone data connection is in spurts, often disconnecting
for 15-30 minutes before finding a signal again. That's in the Vermont
and New Hampshire area, it probably differs in other areas - for better
or worse.
