[NSRCA-discussion] Virtual Caller for iOS

Tue Dec 16 19:49:12 AKST 2014

I fully agree with your assessment.  I fall into the #1 and #2 categories, although I have no problems paying for apps if they solve a problem.  I guess that’s the developer in me wanting to get paid myself if I put out an app.  Anyways, I will certainly be a buyer once this appears in the Play Store.  Thanks for the effort Peter.

If you need a tester for another device, I have an HTC One (M8) and will be going out to the field this weekend (finally).  My preference would be voice as I usually fly alone when practicing and I have an active noise canceling Bluetooth headset.

Peter, this effort is awesome, way to go. I fear you may learn the true meaning of "No good dead goes unpunished". :)

Regarding the Android version, at my company (an online brokerage for active traders) we found that though Android has a large footprint in the market there seems to be a big disparity in adoption between iOS and Android. We have MANY more iOS users than Android even though the products are virtually identical in functionality. It seems that Android users very generally fall into one of three buckets 1) nerdy tinkerers, 2) anti-Apple, or 3) lower income. This is clearly a VERY broad generalization I know, but seems to be a pattern I've noticed.

For the pattern community (not a lower income crowd) I'll bet you have a much larger iOS adoption than Android.

Just sayin'

Thanks for doing this and for donating to the F3A teams!

Pete,

F3P currently only has the AP15 and AF15 sequences which are in the FAI book (with F3A P15 and F15).  In North America, we are flying provisional Sportsman and Intermediate sequences which can be found at:

PITA or not (and I believe you it is a PITA), Android is now something like 85% of the smart phone sales.

Thanks again!!

Regards,

Dave

It has all the F3A and CPA sequences. If someone sends me a pointer to the F3P sequences I can add them for everyone, but you can add sequences for yourself as well (or edit existing sequences to call the way you like) from the app.

Team Canada greatly appreciates :)

Great idea, does this include all the sequence?  Will it be available on android?

I will forward the link on to our f3p Canada Facebook group.

Given that every sequence is changing for next year, it seems a good time to introduce people to the virtual caller application I listed on the Apple App Store yesterday:

Video of it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOEfi3VqnCQ
Get it on the Apple App Store: https://t.co/aIBFvQBsuI

Available now for a limited time at $1.99, price will increase soon to $2.99 This will work with every iOS device out there -- iPod touch, iPhone, iPad Mini, etc. (though I wouldn't want to put an iPad on the bottom of my transmitter to use the tilt control!) but the screen format is optimized for iPhone/iPod touch.  You will need to be on the network the first time you run so it can download the sequences from the cloud.

All profits go to F3A Team USA -- if you are Canadian and buy it, shoot me a note and I'll apply profits from your purchase to F3A Team Canada!  If you prefer the donation to go to F3P Team USA, shoot me a note and I'll apply the profits to F3P :-)

I'll add $1.00 per review of the app that hits the app store this week to my donation!  Be sure to mention in the review if you fly/support F3A or F3P (or both).

This is the product of 100's of hours of development, not so much because the app is complex or hard (it wasn't) but getting a method of controlling the caller that works in field conditions took a lot of trial & error.

Your feedback is welcome!
