Is there any value to iGlide (iOS app) if you don't have their sensor / vario hardware? What features remain?

Isn't one of only two gliding apps for iPhone? If one already has an iPhone no need to buy a navigation display. Compatible with 3 different live tracking sites and upload to OLC. Emailable IGC file. Updating seems easy. Beautiful screen image and easy to use. Drop and drag task or go to that is easily changed on the fly. Suppose to work well with Flarm.

But what do I know, I just downloaded last night.

Yes, but you must have an iPhone to run it...

Having said that, I just flew my new Stemme from Laredo, TX to Payson,
AZ and my copilot/CFI had an iPad, Foreflight and Stratus. I was very
impressed with that combination.

Hmmmmmmm.... That's almost enough to entice me to sip from the Apple
kool-aide.

iGlide is gorgeous on my iPad Mini because it uses the extra screen area
to show more, but the Mini is not as bright as my iPhone 6. I plan to
use my iPhone with iGlide in my ASH 26 E, and try an iPad with iGlide in
my Phoenix, where the panel has the room for it. The newer iPad minis
may be brighter than my iPad mini, but I think it will be adequate.

Also the Ram X-Grip mounts are great.

And also on a plain iPhone 6. Foreflight, iGlide, and some other apps
still don't use up it's meager 16 GB memory, either.
