About Aircraft Horizon Free
NOTICE: This app is heavily dependent on your devices available hardware sensors, version of the Android operating system and last but not least, your device vendors software. For this reason, the app can behave with different results on different devices.
Aircraft horizon is the most advanced artificial horizon on the marketplace.
It fuses data from your devices accelerometer, gyro and magnetometer sensors to provide you with accurate pitch and roll information depicted as a typical aircraft artificial horizon.
Features:
- Sensor fused, accurate pitch and roll via internal accelerometer, gyro and magnetometer sensors
- Linear acceleration compensated - it is accurate whilst moving (with appropriate sensors)
- Automatically selects the best available sensors to use from those available on your device
- Filtered, smoothed and reactive display - no jitter or jumping!
- 'Pitch level' levels the horizon to your installation
- Supports multiple screen resolutions
- Supports display in both portrait and landscape orientations
This is the free version of the app. It is ad supported and has a two minute time limit. Upgrading to the paid version removes both of these limitations.
Usage:
Aircraft Horizon is very simple to use. Pitch and roll is dynamically shown when you move your device. Using the menu, you can pitch level based upon your installation, switch between portrait and landscape modes and toggle debug data on and off.

I'm a professional software engineer, part-time android developer and passionate private pilot so would love to hear your thoughts, feature requests and bug reports.

It doesn't detect tilts and thinks coordinated turn as a horizontal flight, and acceleration as a pitch up.

Works perfect on the ground for demonstration purposes or early training. Not in the air, because if you are in a 2G turn for example, it will think the direction of the G force is down. This is no fault of of the software, and people who complain are idiots. Obviously your phone doesn't have a gyroscope spinning inside it like a real attitude indicator.

I'm using this with my nexus 5 and I have NO problems whatsoever. I actually use this, believe it or not, when I'm shooting video on my DSLR, since my model is not high end enough to have an in built horizon. Helps SOOO much to be able to check if my camera is level on my rig on the fly. The high contrast colours make it perfect for quick comprehensive checks without taking too much focus off my video when recording.

Really, really nice presentation and works great. Best on market! Look no further. Will be buying paid version. Thanks developer!

It does not show attitude, in stead it shows acceleration. When making a turn in my aeroplane it shows me as upright while banking at a steap angle.

This artificial horizon does not work in an aircraft and is only practical for use in 2 dimensional space. ie on the ground

Fun to play with. Do not try rely on it it in a plane. It will stay level in turns as it is not gyro operated

Cool! Yeah it responds to centrifugal force but it's on a phone! I think it's awesome. Nice work!

Does not work as an artificial horizon, it responds to centrifugal forces and acceleration, an artificial horizon does not, sorry!

As free apps go, its does what it says on the tin, plus no over powering advertising, which is nice,

This app does one job very well - the horizon display is rendered very smoothly at 55 FPS on my Desire Z. Great use of sensors which makes it feel like a physical instrument. Nice!

Really had high hopes but absolutely no roll information using a Galaxy s4 in a Piper Vagabond.

This is the first app that I actually paid for and had very high hopes! I even went and got a Nexus (it has gyros). fitted a mount to the aircrafts panel so it had a firm base and fired it up. It suffers badly from acceleration / deceleration, will not give a true horizontal hold, bottom-line, It does not work! it uses the accelerometer but not the gyro's and therefore does not work in flight. Pity as this would have been good.

An accident with a cotton bud left my sense of balance ruined. This app has changed my life! I use it everyday to stay upright and walk straight. When I get my pilot's licence I have no doubt it will become even more of a life saver!

Nice on the ground but useless in flight because gravity force vector always points to the bottom of the aircraft.

Saw in a sailing magazine a waterproof ipad case! Om my. So these are the new avionics huh? Theres no purpose, maybe make it a widget or live screensaver? Thatd be even cooler in my jeep. Cool toy and much more accurate then the stupid compasses. Perfect and flawless, almost real it seems

What a waste of time does not work in the air with Galaxy S7 which has every sensor known . MAKES SENSOR WORKS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE
