What Patrick says. I have an iPhone in my pocket and like my iPhone. I want to be able to continue using it for everything else, phone calls, taking photos and what not. For a flight computer (in my case it is the backup flight computer) I rather have a dedicated no data plan smartphone (I recommend Samsung Galaxy 8 plus or better for couple hundred bucks) running XCSoar and nothing else (I actually also run IGCDroid for tracking).

Stephen, just get an old Android device and run XCSoar.

No data, easy file management, fully-featured. I just don't understand the preoccupation with inferior flight computers on iOS because people won't shell out $60, not $6000 for a flight computer solution used by world champions. XCSoar isn't just attractive because it's free, it's attractive because it's effective and it's free.

I can hardly remember my days using Soar Pilot on a Palm.

This is the way.

How many people at the Worlds are using iGlide. lol. Oh, I crack myself up...
