We are not aware of any crashing bugs for WinPilot for iOS in the past couple of releases.
We started writing support for the LxNav’s S100 flight computer using a wireless Bluetooth connection, and the current WinPilot build on the AppStore already has flight log download and McCready setting transfer built in. It looks like the S100 transmits vario data pretty fast, so we will try to port our Widows CE ClimbMaximizer to the iOS as well. We aren’t aware of Butterfly vario problem. Users of older flight computers (like CAI 302) can use Butterfly’s WiFi stick to connect to WP. Winpilot for iOS is free to download and free to test in GPS mode for 30 days, after that the subscription is $4.95/month. For more info visit our Facebook page. Hopefully this info is helpful to someone, Jerry / Winpilot.com |

Hopefully this info is helpful to someone, Jerry / Winpilot.com I'll have to give WinPilot iOS another try. I haven't looked at it this season and most of last so hopefully it is more finished. The problem with the Butterfly was (is) on the old Winpilot Avier port, not on the iOS version. Butterfly changed the format of their LX serial stream slightly, which caused Winpilot to switch to CAI mode, then fail immediately. If you port the WinCE climb maximizer (still the best in the business) to iOS, will it be able to use Butterfly data via the wifi connection? I'd also like an alternative source of info beyond Facebook. Some of us don't participate there, and without an account you can't see most things. |

Yes, the WiFi connection between Butterfly and WP iOS should already be working now, and should also be able to power the Climb Maximizer when its done. Bluetooth is more difficult on the iPhone, but people are starting to figure it out as well, like LxNav in their S100 vario which connects to WP/iOS ok. We would be happy to work with you on implementing more stuff. J. |

Hopefully this info is helpful to someone, Jerry / Winpilot.com I downloaded and tried Winpilot iOS (now called Winpilot Live!) for a little while. I could not make it crash immediately, which is a good sign. How do I get the 30 day trial in GPS mode? The only options offered in app start the fee based subscription, and the moment you click on GPS mode you are asked to pay. Also, how do I provide feedback and bug reports? I do not (and will not) have a Facebook account. |

"do not (and will not) have a Facebook account. "
I have one, (actually two, and I'm not sure how, probably the result of my wife's inpatient urging), and I'm ready to delete both. Great mines think alike! |

AppStore does ask for payment info, but it doesn’t charge your card until second month of your subscription, so that you have a chance to cancel it within the first month at no charge if you want. If you don’t like this, you can send us an email to winpilot.com with your WP account, and we can enable gps mode remotely. The next drop of WP Live will add support for iPhone X.
