Its a must have app for paraglider, hang glider, outdoor walkers, sailor ... .Using speech instructions you can enjoy your course and listen simply to direction informations (like known from car navigation devices) or your climb/decline rate using beep tones just like a real variometer or view your track in real time. Additionally Google Earth is now supported (KML-File), to send (via email) and view your tracks offline on your home PC... . The latest version supports (2.5.5) also the hydrostatic sensor (barometer), so the climb rate will be calculated based on ‘true’ air pressure like real variometer’s do. This option will be additionally available, if your mobilephone contain this particular sensor, otherwise Gps-based or phone acceleration sensor based calculation take place.Feel free and enjoy your lifestyle.Please read the short usage hints under:http://wrapware.de/android/variometer.htmlVersion highlights:===================2.5.11- Several Fixes2.5.10- Fixes for Samsung Galaxy S3- Barometer manuell correction added (first option in menu more)2.5.6 - 2.5.9- Add sea level calibration for barometer- Barometer finetuning, more sensors, UI revised 2.5.5 - Add the hydrostatic sensor (barometer) to calculate the vertical speed (climb rate) based on ‘true’ air pressure- Fix UI problems on larger screens2.5.4- Revise and polish complete UI- Add realtime view of track position in online-mode- Add route and track management- Track view offline in the app- Add Google Earth support to view tracks and several sensor informations offline on your PC- Add send Tracks (KML-File) via EmailVersion highlights:2.5.11-15- Several Fixes2.5.10- Fixes for Galaxy S3- Barometer manuell correction added2.5.6 - 2.5.9- Barometer finetuning, more sensors UI revised2.5.5 - Add the hydrostatic sensor (barometer) to calculate the vertical speed (climb rate) based on ‘true’ air pressure- Fix UI problems on larger screens2.5.4- Add realtime view - Add Google Earth support to view tracks and several sensor informations offline on your PC- Add send Tracks (KML-File) via Email- ...

Absolutely outstanding app. replaces my $700.00 vario AND does more! (moto X, droid 4.4.2)
Doesn't work, even on Samsung Galaxy S3 a phone that has a Bult-in Baro. Dont waste your money, get XCSOAR, its free or Gaggle.
Don't recommend for nexus s 2 users.
Does what it is supposed to. I think all the bad reviews re the vario accuracy must be using GPS based... which is silly. On the Xperia active it works great.
Great concept but useless Don't waste your money.
The idea is good and viable. The system GPS has, in principle, precision and speed enough to be used in a variometer. Perhaps the GPS on Defy has no conditions to carry out the task. Perhaps the variometer-plus software has bugs.
As good as it can be with the phones hardware.
Useless:(it just looks like vario,concept is interesting,but not more.sorry.
Nice concept, however, neither the gps nor the phone's accelerometer are sensitive enough to make the variometer of any use. No beeps in 5 m/s lift.
Very nice app and less expensive as a real vario!
