No more need to worry if your flight will be smooth!

• SOAR In-Flight researches your flight.

• As you fly, SOAR In-Flight tells you when turbulence will begin, how long it will last, and when the flight will be smooth again.

• While not a course, SOAR In-Flight is the perfect complement to the SOAR Program and an excellent tool to take on your flights.

It's like sitting next to a pilot with access to complete flight data! SOAR In-Flight explains every sound as you hear it, and every sensation as you feel it.
SOAR In-Flight is able to do this by combining data from professional sources used by airlines with information from your iPhone sensors. No wifi or GPS required on board. SOAR In-Flight accompanies you through your entire journey, explaining everything that is going on, as it is going on. This amazing app was created by professional pilot and fear of flying therapist Alex Gervash.

Good features, terrible ui.

I can’t purchase additional flights, which seems like a pretty serious oversight. When I can use it it’s awesome, but it’s often hard to navigate through.

Great App for Anxious Fliers!

This app is excellent! I have done the SOAR course and it made a huge difference in my fear of flying. However, using this app is like having Captain Tom right there with you during the flight. The tips, I do and encouragement really help and the g-meter, speed, altitude and attitude gauges are really cool to watch. They prove everything Captain Tom tells you in the SOAR courses.

The app isn’t perfect though. But it will help you. My phone never got GPS reception the entire flight even though I had a Window seat so speed and altitude were a bit off as expected. But given it was working off of calculations it was relatively close.

Developer Response ,

Hello and thanks for your review. Indeed, GPS signal can not be guaranteed, it depends on satellites, your position in the airplane, e.t.c. Than's why we made this app working fully autonomically, even without any external source of data.
Next flight try to keep your iphone close to a window for couple of minutes during a level flight - it gives more chances to get the GPS though.

App is great! Absolutely no customer service support

I have loved this app and it has helped me greatly with anxiety when flying.
The last time I flew I purchased some trips, I didn’t see them in my “flight purchased” so I purchased again thinking something didn’t go thru. Those purchases never loaded into my app.
I’ve attempted to reach SkyGuru thru the app/email etc... there hasn’t been any follow up. My emails are returned undeliverable.
Basically if it works for you, GREAT.. it is a great concept. If it doesn’t, do not plan on a refund or any type of service from the developer.
