Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

Now your Android device can automatically record your flight and keep ground crew and friends updated in near real-time. Perfect for all pilots * Students recording their training flights * Weekend pilots keeping their partners informed where and when they land * Competition pilots with followers on the ground. WARNING : The IGC files contain security records for OLC use only and may NOT be accepted for competitions. Unfortunately it is NOT possible for ANY Android apps to provide higher levels of security because the hardware itself is not protected. Features * Simple set and forget operation * Track your flight in near real time * Record OLC validated IGC files * Simple post flight statistics * Email notify crew and friends of your flight progress

IGCDroid APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the IGCDroid APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 70838bf5dcb7f242eb6954362a3747cf.
