Top Hat is a project to create an intuitive glide computer for soaring.
We've also added support for US task rules and one of the ways we've simplified the interface is to allow the user to set their nationality -- this way, when creating tasks, only the options for their country are shown, making the process faster and easier. This includes TAT, AT and MAT tasks.

Perhaps the best interface of all Soaring Apps. Important flight info is very easy to access while flying.

I have previously been using SeeYouMobile on an Ipaq 4700. I have switched to a Dell Streak 5 android platform. Top Hat is a great, user friendly soaring app. Highly recommended.
