Description
A fully functional portable glass cockpit (EFIS) for general aviation pilots. It improves your flight experience, offering you intuitive visualizations for enhanced situational awareness. It provides a backup system for all relevant instruments for navigation and orientation in the air using the internal sensors of a tablet or smartphone or an external solution (such as our SensorBox https://helios-avionics.com/product/sensorbox/ or third party GDL90 compatible devices like Talos, Stratux or Levil). Therefore, it contains all relevant functions of a modern glass cockpit on a tablet, as well as the advantage of redundancy due to complete independence from the built-in avionics. New intuitive visualizations improve the situational awareness and thus make it possible, in particular for private pilots, to provide greater flight safety, less stress and thus greater enjoyment of flying. "Horizon - Your Portable Glass Cockpit" is currently available for Android, iOS and Linux.

Comments on Horizon Portable Glass Cockpit for Android
★★★★☆Jozko Mrkvicka· May 24, 2018
I tested this app with Flightier. Absolutely perfect. With weather CAT III minimum visibility I was able to cross the Alps in Twottie without any trouble. But I missed one thing - flight plan direct from Flightier's Route manager. Because this app have not RNAV fixes in the database, I can't make flight plan for RNAV approach.

The best Glass cockpit app I have used. I would like it could be paired with the stratum ahrs. Thanks for making this great application.
★★★★★Ronald Monsen· Nov 1, 2019
I have had it for over a year. I own two aircraft, and I use it in both. The latest revisions that support other ADSB/GPS sources have really made a big difference. In my Sonex I have no attitude indicator, and I fly under a Class B airspace. Knowing where I am in that space is important. Even better, in my Sonex, I installed a avionics ADSB "out" system, and I use it as a hybrid AHRS / GPS solution. I use the phone (Galaxy Note 10) for AHRS and the avionics WiFi connection for ADSB traffic and GPS. My only complaint is some UI issues which I would be happy to point out in more detail if you wanted. I am also a software developer, so I appreciate good quality stuff. Keep up the good work!

Looks like a very nice app, but too amateur for the asked price of €100/year :). Asks for calibration and EULA accept on every start. As an addition it never asked me to provide a password for my account... I created an account and then just provided the username, and it logged in :) If it was 3-5 € / year was going to be a good deal for what it offers. If you don't care about the price, and potential reliability problems it definitely looks like a nice and useful app..... Just to answer your remark: Having in mind the poor quality of the application and how unreliable it is, one has to be demented to rely on this application in a real airplane
