With just one click on instruments you switch easily between different data modes : instantaneous, average and maximum values.
Altimeter can be set to actual altitude or elevation (QHN, QFE) just by long-pressing on the altimeter.
If your smartphone has a barometric sensor, it could be used to compute a very accurate altitude.

Prepare your waypoints from Google Earth and import your KML files (PPGpS folder in the phone).
Waypoints may be automatically loaded at startup and saved at the end of the session.
In case your KML file doesn't import well, please send me the file and I will fix it quickly.

The average ground speeds are graphically displayed for every azimuth.
The wind direction is displayed (red arrow) and may be reset at any time during the flight.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

User's Reivew

5 ★Good
1 ★Purchased full version. Great app if it didn't kept crashing multiple times throughout the flight. Might have to get an iphone just so I can switch to flyskyhy
2 ★Every 2 mins or so you have to press back button to remove pester box to upgrade to full version. Not a whole lot of time to look for other features and try them. Free version not really useful as youll probably fumble the phone in mid air.
1 ★Can't get past tips to allow GPS access, hopeless to review.
1 ★Can't get out of the start up tips. App is completely useless.
1 ★Purchased full version but refunded immediately. Downloaded airspace but it does not show the heights of airspace, so useless than. I fly under class b and NEED to know what my limits are without having to open another app. Goodbye.
2 ★For what is supposed to be an evaluation version, your cant even evaluateit. Too many things disabled. Suggestion for the creator, give fullpermission for 30 minutes, then restrict the features.
2 ★Give more attention to the inbuild magnetic compass. Relaying on the GPSderived compass only, is a mistake!
2 ★This app drops features from the paid app. Enough to not know if the paid app works properly or if those features are useful. Missing items are altitude correction, waypoints, airspace, etc. Also the menu UI is buggy. I'm not able to use the phones menu button to get to the menu. It pops up and immediately dissappears.
5 ★Its for flying ppg its awesome
