Hi I think a new version will probably a few months away. I'm super
busy right now and hopefully some of the other devs will have checkins
and we'll spit out a build.

In the next version I'll probably turn the donation prompt off.
According to the anonymous usage data on a typical weekend 1500 people
use Gaggle for about an hour each. The total amount that has been
donated is a little less than $200.

I pledge to donate the same day as the next update. Already
recommending it around, with a bit of improvement and some comp
features, this could be a popular paid app.
Best of luck,
-Doug

Hi Kevin, I use gaggle every flight for many hours, apart from my
radio, my Xperia active is the only electronic paragliding device I
take with me for flying, so I'm forward looking to the updates.

I saw somewhere a picture from the screen from a gaggle prototype
where the infoboxes together with an analog and digital vario + map
all together in the same screen like XCSoar, if you can bring that to
reality it would be a dream. The worst thing I find on gaggle is that
the map and infoboxes are not in the same page, I have to keep taking
hands off brakes sometimes in turbulent conditions to change from
infoboxes to map.

Also the vario beep is peeping is connected to the positive values of
the digital vario, climb +1m/s stop climbing the digital vario start
going down ex. +0.9, +0.7, +0.3 and the beep still peeping even tho
it's not going up anymore. On brauninger, cpilot pro, etc the software
intelligently knows its not going up anymore and stop the beeping even
tho it's still showing + positive values in the digital vario. It's a
tip I found to improve gaggle vario.

I really like and use this application a lot, so thanks for that and
keep improving pls.

Hi !

While reading your mail, I was wondering how many devs were actively
hacking Gaggle, apart from Kevin ?

github has pretty awesome graphs to answer such a question :
https://github.com/geeksville/Gaggle/graphs/impact

In short, kevin is doing most of the work.
