The first vario app for paragliding engineered around the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) to detect motion in all directions. The IMU centric design allows for a vario app outstanding in both, precision and robustness. What your hear is what you feel. Centering the core of a thermal is now simply intuitive and natural.

XC Vario
XC Vario
Fully packed with airspaces, thermal hotspots and waypoints. Visualized on terrain maps and a vertical view displaying the terrain elevation and glide ratio to assist in making tactical decision when flying cross country. Not (yet) perfect - but working on it. 🧑💻
Fly Vario
Fly Vario
Stripped down to the essentials of paragliding, the Fly Vario app suits pilots focusing on just the necessary visualization to find the next thermal and be alerted of airspaces vibrant colors on black. A simplified vario with low energy consumption for longer flights. 🌤️
Hike Vario
Hike Vario
There is more to paragliding than just flying. For all pilots where flying is merely part of the adventure and a bare minimum vario with dedicated high contrast readable tiles is all that is needed. Go ahead and try The Hike & Fly Vario. 🌤️ ⛰️ 🪂
At the core of all our vario apps is the AI Sense V3 Vario Engine which is (heavily simplified) cross checking all sensor readings from the accelerometer, gyroscope and magnetometer with the barometric sensor. In contrast to varios and apps built around the barometer only, false indications of lift are minimized and the feedback is instant. A zero lag vario with no thermal missed!
Shared across all lines are the following features: A convenient background mode operation with other apps on top if preferred. An FAI approved Flight Logger will provide valid .igc flight logs with a valid G-Record. Cloud synchronization of flights let's you easily switch between vario apps. Multiple altimeter settings including Auto QNH let you toggle through flight levels, barometric or GNSS altitudes. The Audio Engine allows for full customization of vario tone curves including high pitch equalization and custom tones with presets included. And if you like to tweak the UI further or want to design your own Customized Vario UI that shows exactly and only what you need - Go Ahead!
First vario app built around the Inertial Measurement Unit with best in class precision and outstanding location accuracy. Instant vario feedback by processing all sensor readings to a true climb rate. Compare against varios: SKYTRAXX, Flymaster, SkyDrop, Naviter, Flytec , MipBip & more.
openAip airspaces with above ground level (AGL) information that can be drilled down by country and region for informational purposes. A vario with colorful vertical and horizontal airspace visualization to back up flight preparation.
Hotspots and heatmap overlays will ease the planning and assist throughout your first cross country paragliding. A vario that will guide you to the next thermal. Auto selection of hotspots based on season and position of the sun.
Insights on routes and strategies for cross country paragliding. Skyways indicate typical cross country (XC) routes taken by paragliding pilots.
Integrationg of Puretrack and SafeSky tracking and traffic information systems improves situation awareness and can act as an extra margin of safety. Check out how SafeSky and theFlightVario team up.
Quickly create routes and waypoints from scratch or import .cup files used in paragliding. Navigate while paragliding with bluetooth remotes, proximity sensors or on screen using a stylus pen. Swiss Obstacle Database incl.
A convenient flight book to log, store and analyze all of your paragliding flights. Keep all your flights in one place and share with friends and family. Analyze flights in Google Earth with .kml or igc viewer with .igc. Valid G-RECORD!
Easily connect to bluetooth varios like the blueflyvario, xctracer, Skybean 2, MipBipS+ and more. You can also have your phone act as bluetooth vario itself to provide variometer readings to another device (BETA users and only in XC Vario app)
Sensor Fusion and Dual Rate GNSS allow for precise positioning capabilities for even small movements. This enables a fast calculation of wind strengths and directions while thermalling. It also allows for calculating the speed of your paraglider.
Providing These Vario Apps
Providing These Vario Apps
Sensors and integration of sensors in smartphones have undergone a rapid change. While sensors started out as supplementary technology for providing relevant information for things like screen orientation and assisting in vertical orientation (altitude), smartphones turned to being incredible sensor boards that combine updates on environmental conditions on a millisecond scale paired with immense computing power. Computing power that is unmatched with regards to dedicated varios allowing for sophisticated algorithms that are hard to implement at low level such as our AI Sense lag free vario engine.
With that said, being a paraglider for decades now, I love pushing these vario apps further and further, testing new features and making them available to paragliders or pilots in general.
