Privacy Choices

The first time you open Wader 5.0, the app asks you to Connect with your friends and shows your privacy choices. You can change them at any time in More › Settings › Privacy.


Choice When it is on
Show me in search Other pilots can find you by your name or your pilot code
My location Friends you add can see the last airport you landed at, or your route while you fly
My roster Friends you add can see your roster.

A choice you have never saved counts as off: no one can find you or see your location until you say yes.


With Show me in search off, no one can find you by typing your name or your pilot code. A pilot can still add you by scanning your QR code in person.


If you turn My location off, your friends see Location not shared next to your name. Your own friends list shows a banner with a Share button to turn it back on.


More › Settings › Privacy also has Ad measurement. It lets Wader see which of its ads bring pilots in. It never uses your flights, your logbook or your name.
