Just be aware it won't be nearly as accurate since the sample rate on your phone is much lower.


As accurate as what? Sample rate is lower than what?

My app uses 150ms update rate (which equates to about 6.5 times per second). This is more than enough to provide adequate accuracy both in free fall and under canopy. Pressure sensors built in most phones are capable of higher rate, but that would come with higher power consumption and greater noise level.

A couple friends and I have been building a logbook app called Boogie and we just launched a beta version.

Boogie allows you to record a skydive or manually enter one. It taps into your phone's pressure sensor and GPS to get the altitude and location data.

Right now it has limited features / functionality. Here's the website to request a beta invitation.

A new Android logbook app called Boogie just launched for private Beta testing. Boogie allows you to record a skydive or manually enter one. It taps into your phone's pressure sensor and GPS to get the altitude and location data.

Right now it has limited features / functionality, but it looks promising. Here's the website to request a beta invitation.

For wingsuiters and trackers, I created an iPhone app called L/D Magic:

(and for a limited time, Flight Data Recorder feature and additional Kalman Filters are free)

It's not a simple logbook, though - it's a scientific application for serious flyers.

Example of data (Lift-to-Drag ratio, Glide Ratio, lift and drag forces and coefficients, momentary and sustained horizontal and vertical speeds, momentary and sustained polar curves):

To get good results, you need an external GPS running at a minimum 5Hz (the app supports Bluetooth GPS Dual XGPS 150A and 160 and plug-in units like Emprum UltiMate GPS and BadElf GPS). For best L/D data, however, nothing beats using accelerometer/gyro with the phone mounted on a vane. A couple of videos to give an idea of what it looks like:

Are you planing any new features?

I think exporting the jumps and importing previous jumps would be a great feature.



I have many ideas, but not enough time to work on them (I'd rather rather be jumping). This is open source app, though, so everybody is welcome to add any features they want.
