Major update and new version of the FAI Balloon Live app

The Balloon Live Team is very excited to announce the release of a major update and new version of the FAI Balloon Live app.

The new version has been completely redesigned and rewritten to offer an even better pilot experience and optimal in-flight features:

  • A brand new user interface design with a better look and feel.
  • Faster response to marker drop and goal declaration.
  • New core of the app helping to be faster and more stable in competition environment.
  • Easy and fast in-app purchase feature to pay for pilot fee for the use of the Balloon live system in a competition.

The related website balloonlive.org has also been updated to give the best possible support. Guides and tutorials are available for pilots and officials. The installation of the new version is different, depending on the mobile device you are using:

For iOS: Simply update the app through the App Store. If you have not yet installed the app, you can download it directly in Apple's App Store.

For Android: Due to some technical changes, the app had to be created as a new, separate app in the Google Play Store.

To avoid anybody having already bought the old version, paying for the new one again, we have lowered the price to approx 0,1€ until end of June 2022. You can then uninstall the old version, as it will be deprecated sometime in 2022.

If you have any questions, please check all the helpful information about the app on the Balloon Live website balloonlive.org/about-balloon-live/ or contact us by email to support@balloonlive.org.

Looking forward to seeing many of you flying with Balloon Live in the coming competitions, we wish you a great weekend.
