Glider - Soar the Skies 4+

I purchased after finding out they added accelerometer support but once flying, I noticed that none of the gauges work. Can’t even tell my airspeed. Graphics are beautiful though.

This is one of my favorite games on the iPad. The scenery is easily the best I’ve seen for a mobile flight simulator. There’s not much to do in the game but such is the nature of being a Glider pilot. The goal is to stay aloft as long as possible. You accomplish this by seeking out the Thermals which are pretty hard to find. The landscape is pretty large, I was able to stay in the air long enough to explore and I found a town and a pretty neat looking lake. If you’re a try fan of flight simulation I highly suggest this game. If you just want to show off what your iPad can do I also suggest this.

Pros - Great graphics
Cons - No missions and a lack of modes isn't great

This app appears to give you the experience of flying a glider at your fingertips. As a glider pilot, I thought what would be pretty cool so I went ahead and got the app. It turns out, the app crashes when you try to do anything, I didn't even get to the part where there is a simulation because it crashes on the home screen. Until this is improved, I don't think anyone should get this app.
