VOG-Altimeter

Overall works as described but I wish it was louder. Maybe having some other voices or tones to choose from? Also it isn’t as reliable on my way up in the plane. Otherwise I think it’s perfect and the app is simple! Wireless charging so I can set it up for my drive or in-between jumps. Also very slick design

I drive an hour away to my DZ every weekend. And my DZ is 1,500ft above where my home is. Since the Vog turns on with motion, it turns on with the car ride to the DZ and therefore thinks I’m way higher in altitude when the plane is barely taking off yet. To fix this I have to take the wireless charger to the DZ with me and place it on the charger for about 30 seconds to reset the altitude. I emailed the creator almost a year ago asking them to add an option to the app to reset the altitude. However they have not. Also the app keeps resetting my “jump numbers” to a lower number. I reset it to the correct number, and it goes back down to a low number the next time I open the app.

Seeing how it’s an interface for the VOG altimeter it’s basic functionality is sufficient to quickly adjust or program the altimeter. However, the app won’t connect to the latest firmware update for the altimeter and only displays a “connecting” status bar for over an hour. Additionally the bottom tabs for the settings and the altimeter are cut off and barely able to be selected. Hopefully a near term update is in order to improve its functionality and enable firmware updates to be pushed via the app.
