I am a flight attendant and checking this app has become a part of my routine every day I am at work. It is standard for pilots to brief with flight attendants before each flight about what kind of turbulence to expect. Quite frankly, I find this app *at least* as reliable as the briefings I get from pilots, sometimes it is more reliable. There have been many times where the pilots have told me they expect a decent ride, but the maps I see on this app suggest otherwise, and this app has been correct. In fairness, after almost 10 years on the job I understand that turbulence can be difficult to predict, sometimes the flight is smoother or bumpier than this app has me anticipate, but I sincerely believe the information you find here is as reliable as any information available anywhere. Highly recommend.
I don’t know how they do it, but Peter and his crew come through for me every time. I use their maps religiously before a flight. Sometimes I check them out days ahead and multiple times before heading out. I beyond recommend the detailed personal forecasts! Sometimes it helps just to know what it might be like. I find there has been. pretty high accuracy rate in all my time using them. Thanks!
I fly 100K+ miles a year and remain an anxious flier. This app helps reduce the anxiety because I can prepare for what we are flight into/through. I have also used the custom, detailed forecasts for international travel. Totally worth it if you’re like me and benefit from knowing if you’re flying into forecasted turbulence or going to have a smooth flight. Highly recommend!
I’m a very nervous flyer, which is silly because I fly multiple times a year, but I still get nervous every single time! So I was happy to discover this app right before my 2 flights last week. I scoped out the three “recommended maps” and found them to be very accurate on both of my flights! I highly recommend this app if you’re a nervous flyer. Docking 1 star juuuuust because I think the UI is pretty dated, but can’t complain too much since it’s a free app.
Great app with a lot of information on the maps. I paid for the email report and was very pleased with how detailed it was!! It even came with a map showing where I could expect turbulence and what level it would be, in addition to the written report that detailed take off, landing and time in the air. Peter is a great guy! Thank you for helping all of us scaredy-cats!!
I love and rely on this app while flying. I am an anxious flyer and this app gives me an idea of when and where we could hit turbulence. I often use it during a flight, when connected to wifi, to gauge when the turbulence will be done. It has been extremely accurate for me and I can't recommend it enough! The new update is awesome!
This app has helped ease SO much anxiety for me before and during travel. I avoided flying for years, but this app is now part of a routine that helps me fly with ease, multiple times a year. I recommend to everyone I know with flight anxiety. It’s very user friendly, as well. Thank you so much!
This app is very helpful, you can use it to see if there will be any turbulence during your flight, you can also use this app if you are getting into flying to check the weather. Overall this app has helped me plan many flights.
Great app. I always want to be in the know. I love weather, fly often but get anxious at times wondering what's ahead weather wise for my next flight or while in flight. This is a go to app in my iPhone weather folder for traveling.
This is the perfect app for a weather enthusiast who happens to be a mile high with in-flight WiFi, a flyer who feels uncomfortable trough every fluffy cumulous cloud, or a first traveler who needs to be taught the basics of lift and flying! From the weather and turbulence maps to the in-flight G-Force meter: this app is a must for every flight!!
It’s free, very accurate, and very helpful. Though checking it’s either scares me or makes me feel great before I get in a plane I am always happy to know the turbulence before a flight. Thank you so much!
Can't recommend this app enough-- particularly with the latest update. Just like previous versions, it has all the info I'm looking for, but now in a much easier to understand format.
Terrific app to help me get over my fears of flying even though I fly 40 weeks a year! Prepares you for when the flight might get bumpy and also tells you when to relax on your flight. The great tool that I am beyond thankful for!
Nervous flier. I have started using this to know what’s up ahead on my next flight and knowing ahead of time has assuaged my fears. I am excited to try out the new turbulence monitor.
This app has been on my phone since day one! It’s an amazingly informative app that I highly recommend, no matter if you are a pilot or regular passenger in coach.
Nervous flyers can see that most times, turbulence is limited to small areas and often, airlines can fly around storms or choose a smoother altitude. Great job!
I should be able to put in a specific destination to see what I’ll be dealing with. Make it simple for people who don’t know what some of those abbreviations mean.
Who ever made the decision to lock the maps in portrait only mode should chose a new career. I have deleted the app and moved tother turbulence and weather forecast apps.
