A new chat and a steadier watch complication. -- Chat, redesigned Everything now lives in one screen: public chat, private messages, and crew groups, with the people around you always visible at the top. It opens as a panel over the globe, matches your light or dark setting, and every area — people, conversations, message box — is clearly separated. It works with the people on board around you, no internet needed. -- Watch complication fixed The complication on your watch face now keeps counting down to arrival on its own, even when the Bluetooth link to the iPhone drops for a while inflight. No more premature "Waiting for iPhone". -- One way to close Settings, Aircraft, Itinerary and Chat now share the same title bar and the same soft close button, in the standard iOS style. Also: small fixes and visual polish throughout.

Arrival times are the big change in this release. -- A smarter ETA The arrival estimate now models the whole flight — climb, step climbs at cruise, and descent — and it is calibrated against real flown routes. Across 21 recorded flights its average live error dropped by 29%, and it no longer jumps around when your speed changes. -- It notices an early descent If the aircraft starts down well before the planned point, Off 2 picks that up and rebuilds the rest of the flight from where you actually are. -- Short flights count down properly On flights under roughly 400 NM the arrival time could stall minutes above zero and then snap to the gate. It now counts all the way down. -- Steadier on the Lock Screen The arrival time in the Live Activity and Dynamic Island no longer drifts later when the aircraft data goes quiet. -- Sets itself up on board Connect to the aircraft wifi and Off 2 fills in your departure and arrival, and recognises the aircraft from its registration. -- Easier to spot yourself The aircraft marker is bigger and clearer, and always draws on top — airport icons and labels no longer hide it. Also: fixed a crash on some Air France onboard wifi networks, and completed translations across all 33 languages.

Off 2 is now free to download! The full flight tracker is free for everyone; a single in-app purchase opens Pilot Mode — no subscription. Bought Off 2 as a paid app? Pilot Mode is yours automatically. -- A breathing Earth A realistic atmosphere now glows around the 3D globe — pale blue by day, with a warm sunset ring along the day/night line. -- Sharper globe The map stays noticeably crisper while you pan, rotate, and zoom. -- Pilot Mode grew Flight replay, external Bluetooth GPS receivers, custom offline maps, and the full aircraft performance database join the cockpit toolkit.

What's New in v2.0 - our biggest update yet: -- A stunning new globe The map now uses NASA Blue Marble satellite imagery by day and Black Marble city lights by night, blending at the real day/night line. Your flight unfolds over a beautiful, realistic Earth. -- Tap any airport for details Zoom in to see airports with their runway length, elevation, and suitability for your aircraft. Pick your runway-length unit - feet, meters, NM, or statute miles - in Settings. -- Clearer local time Over open ocean the time zone now appears as a simple UTC offset (for example UTC-12) that matches the abbreviation, and a +1 or -1 badge shows when your local date differs from UTC - handy at the International Date Line. It also appears on the Lock Screen, Dynamic Island, and Apple Watch. -- Accurate day and night crossings The sunrise and sunset crossing markers were rebuilt to account for your cruise altitude and verified against NOAA data, so they predict exactly when you cross into day or night. -- Smarter, steadier ETA A new FMS-style estimate models climb, cruise, and descent - including the 250 kt speed limit below 10,000 ft - with wind correction, so your arrival time stays stable instead of jumping. -- Apple Watch and aircraft Wi-Fi Glance at destination, time remaining, and arrival on your wrist. Connect to onboard Wi-Fi (Air France, Viasat, Panasonic) for live position, winds, and outside air temperature. Plus a boarding-pass scanner, support for 33 languages, and many refinements.

What's New in v1.6.3: -- Stability Fixed a rare issue where the globe could stay frozen after the iPhone woke from sleep, while the rest of the app remained responsive. The compass-driven background work that was holding a database lock during suspension has been removed.

What's New in v1.6.2: -- Stability Fixed a rare freeze on long flights. The app no longer hangs when the heading sensor is active. -- Watch complication The flight complication now updates time remaining and progress on its own, even when the Watch app is closed. It refreshes minute by minute between iPhone updates.

What's New in v1.6.1: -- Itinerary fix Changing the departure or destination on a sector now clears the previous waypoint route. The map no longer shows leftover points from a route that no longer matches. -- Watch complication The flight complication now uses more of the available space on the watch face. Larger destination, time-remaining, and arrival fonts, plus a wider progress bar with more room for the airplane to "fly".

What's New in v1.6: -- Apple Watch Overhaul The Pilot screen on Apple Watch now mirrors the iPhone Pilot panel: tail number, headwind/tailwind, OAT, TTD, heading, EPA descent angle, QNH or cabin altitude with delta-P, and AGL on final approach. Each section auto-hides when its data isn't available. -- Type from the Wrist The Chat screen on Apple Watch now lets you reply with any message. Tap the input field to use Scribble, Dictation, Emoji, or Suggestions. The quick-code shortcuts (ARM, TKO, LDG, COF) remain for common phases of flight. -- Watch Face Complication A new flight complication shows your destination IATA, time remaining, arrival time, a progress bar with airplane, the destination's local time plus GMT offset, and your unread chat count -- all in the middle slot of any modular watch face. -- Stability Fix Resolved a background-suspension crash that could happen when the app was sent to the background mid-tile-load. The "globe goes dark, clock keeps ticking" issue on resume no longer occurs.

What's New in v1.5: -- Smoother Speed and ETA For WiFi systems without ground speed (like Viasat), speed and time-to-destination are now computed using linear regression over a sliding window. No more jumpy numbers -- smooth and reliable. -- Live Position Indicator The position icon now pulses with every update so you see your data flowing in real time. Colors degrade gracefully: teal to orange to red for aircraft WiFi, similar for peer data. -- Major Stability Fix Resolved a crash affecting peer-to-peer connections (Multipeer Connectivity). The app no longer crashes when rediscovering nearby users. -- Faster Background Launch The app now starts cleanly in the background without triggering the iOS watchdog. -- Globe Rendering Smoother tile transitions while spinning and zooming the globe. Less clipping and fewer blurry patches. -- Chat Improvements Peer detection glow is now more visible with a pulsing green animation. The "Hide from others" toggle updates instantly. -- Itinerary Cleanup Changing an airport on a sector now clears the associated boarding pass data automatically. -- Pilot Mode Barometer label updated to a neutral color for better readability.

What's New in v1.4: -- Apple Watch Companion App Off 2 now comes with an Apple Watch app. View your flight progress, ETA, distance, and speed right on your wrist. Tip: set Watch > General > Return to Clock > Off 2 > After 1 Hour to keep the display active. -- Panasonic WiFi Support Position tracking now works on aircraft with Panasonic Avionics WiFi, with full FMS data including distance, ETA, wind, and temperature. -- GPS Freeze Detection The app detects when GPS returns frozen position data inside the aircraft fuselage and recovers automatically. -- Smarter Speed Calculation For WiFi systems that don't provide ground speed (like Viasat), speed is now calculated from consecutive position updates. -- Improved Peer Discovery Devices use unique identifiers, preventing issues when multiple devices share the same name. Automatic recovery from connection drops. -- Accurate Terminator Crossing The day/night crossing time now uses your actual ground speed instead of theoretical cruise speed, eliminating drift. -- Peer Chat Privacy Fix Private messages are now sent only to the intended recipient.

What's New in v1.3.1: ▸ Viasat WiFi Support Position tracking now works on aircraft equipped with Viasat in-flight WiFi, joining Air France as a supported airline system. ▸ Smarter Flight Data Missing flight information (distance remaining, ETA, progress percentage) is now calculated automatically using airport data and GPS — works for all WiFi sources. ▸ GPS Auto-Recovery If GPS gets stuck in-flight (common with weak signal through the fuselage), the app detects it and recovers automatically — no restart needed. ▸ Battery-Saving GPS When aircraft WiFi provides your position, GPS switches to a low-power mode to save battery while keeping speed data for accurate ETAs.

What's New: ▸ Smart Route Auto-Fill When connected to onboard WiFi (Air France Freewifi), the app automatically loads the planned trajectory waypoints into your flight plan — no manual entry needed. ▸ Redesigned Aircraft Selection Browse aircraft by category (Airlines or Business jets), then manufacturer, then model. Cleaner, faster selection with 200+ aircraft. ▸ Improved iPad Layout Help view now uses adaptive columns on iPad, fitting more topic cards on screen. ▸ Better Files App Integration Custom globe tiles folder is now immediately visible in the iOS Files app from first launch.

What’s New in v1.2: ▸ Boarding Pass Scanner Scan QR, PDF417, Aztec, or DataMatrix barcodes to auto-fill your flight details — airline, route, date, seat, and booking reference. ▸ Custom Globe Tiles Replace the default globe map with your own .mbtiles file via the iOS Files app. ▸ In-App Help 10 help topics covering all features, fully localized in 33 languages. Works offline. ▸ Boarding Pass Details Tap to view passenger info and booking details. Long press to reveal raw barcode data. ▸ Departure Time Clarity Barcodes encode only the flight date — the app now explains this and lets you adjust the departure time easily.

What's New: - Smarter itinerary editing: changing departure or arrival times now only affects the sectors that follow, leaving previous ones untouched - Stopover time adjusts automatically when you modify sector times - Flight level display (e.g. ~FL340) shown in Pilot Mode when at cruise altitude - More accurate day/night crossing predictions during your flight - Speed display now shows actual observed speed instead of default aircraft values - AGL altitude shown only when approaching your destination (within 250 NM) - Tap anywhere on the flight info panel to re-center the map
