If I use an iPhone 6 plus and not upgrade the OS (it's and old phone ?) I shouldn't have these problems ? it's a question and a wish as well...

If you are going with iGlide, be aware that many of the configurable features are hidden in the xml files of the app. They are easily editable, but iGlide has no published documentation for them. Also, to get routes, you need the Adv version, and to get configurable turn points for racing, you need the pro version. If you need assistance email me and I will try to help.

In my opinion (remember, everyone has one...) iGlide is far easier to use than SYM - or any of the others. I own and have flown extensively with XCSoar, SYM, and Winpilot, often 2 at a time.

I like iGlide but I keep having to reinstall "Aeronautical Data", "Map Data", "Flight Parameters", and "Flight Recorder" information. Airglide said its because I do not have enough memory remaining on phone, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

I have not had to replace the files, except after certain iOS updates. There have been two that have wiped one or more of the data files that iGlide uses, while perhaps 10 or 12 others have not. I don't know why the difference. I do have sufficient memory left. I am running it in two phones, a 5s and a 6 Plus. It is possible to back up and reinstall the files from iTunes without having to download them again if this happens. The only ones that are very large are the terrain maps, and they are very large indeed.

It isn't really much of a problem. I have been running iGlide on two iPhones for 4 years now, and have upgraded the OS on both with every new release. This has broken iGlide a couple of times, each time easily fixed. But certainly with any computer, leaving it alone is the best insurance against problems. Since both the program itself, and all of the associated files can be downloaded via WiFi or cellular data it is generally easy to maintain.
