5.1.0 puts SkyPocket on your wrist. SkyPocket for Apple Watch records your flight with the Watch's own GPS, alongside your iPhone or on its own. Start on either and the other joins in. After landing the two recordings join into one flight, and if either battery runs low, the other takes over. On the wrist: ground speed, altitude, time left, a moving map with the route to your destination, and which side the sun is on. Hold to end, so a sleeve can't end a flight. Outside a flight, swipe down for live speed and altitude. Tap a reading to change units on either device. A complication on your watch face shows REC and the time while you fly. On iPhone: a WATCH panel for the cockpit and an Apple Watch section in Settings.

5.0.0 brings something to do on the long stretches, and honesty when the GPS goes. An arcade of eight games in the flight deck's own style: Baggage Train, Taxiway Dash, Cloud Breaker, Cargo Hold, Hailstorm, Solitaire, Sudoku and Five Letters. Each saves where you leave it, plays full screen in flight with your speed and altitude still in view, and has its own sound. Hailstorm is MoM's game, ported with permission. Five Letters is English only for now. GPS LOST mode: when the fix drops out over a jamming zone, the app says so, tries the window with you, and carries an honest estimate toward your destination for up to three hours, marked EST with a widening circle on the chart. A bundled map of known interference regions warns you on approach. Two new map layers, GPS interference and the countries you have crossed, with a guide the first time the chart opens full screen. The World tab has moved into the Log. Larger Text now works on every screen. The Live Activity chips in Settings light up when tapped.

Fixes a crash when adding a past flight to the log on iOS 26, in German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Polish. The same fault had been dropping the thousands separators from numbers in those languages; they are back.

SkyPocket now asks what you made of the flight at the right moment: on the ground, once your phone is back online, while the flight you just recorded is still on screen.

Mach gets a gauge of its own. It was always here, tucked into the instruments tile as a third readout. Now it sits beside the other sensors with its own explainer, and once you have told SkyPocket which aircraft you are on, a footnote says what that type actually cruises at, so the live number has something to be read against. Setting up now asks what kind of flyer you are. Nervous flyer, photographer, numbers person, or show me everything: pick one and the panels you care about go to the top. Change it any time with PANEL on the flight deck. And a round of fixes from a friend's flight into Stansted. The destination search shows each airport's own name, so London Stansted, Heathrow, Gatwick and City no longer read as four rows saying LONDON, and typing "stansted" finds it. The country facts say where they come from and when they were last checked. A shared reel opens on its first scene instead of a black frame. The info marks on the instruments sit quieter. And the aircraft walkthrough's answer buttons take a tap anywhere in the box, not only on the word.

Your tickets now live with your flights. Attach a boarding pass, a PDF, or a photo of a paper ticket to any flight, and it stays with it. The flights you took before you had SkyPocket can come in too. Type one in, scan the barcode on a saved boarding pass to fill the form for you, or import a GPX track. Give any flight a name and tags of your own, then find it again: the logbook now searches names, tags, airports and years, and reads back a year at a time. The lock screen carries more of the flight: where you are going, how far there is left, and how much of the leg is behind you. And three fixes, all from one very thorough reader. Continuing a flight after a force quit keeps the whole route on the map instead of redrawing from the moment you tapped. A Live Activity can no longer appear twice, and there is a way to bring it back if you swipe it away. The time left no longer promises two minutes while you are still five kilometres up: it now knows how long it takes to come down, and how high the airport itself is.

SkyPocket now speaks Polish, its fifteenth language and its third Slavic one. As with every language before it, it is the whole app: the cockpit, the logbook, the camera, all 238 country chapters of the World Factbook, the country facts and the phrasebook. Witamy na pokładzie!

SkyPocket now speaks Hebrew, its fourteenth language and its second that reads right to left. As with every language before it, it is the whole app: the cockpit, the logbook, the camera, all 238 country chapters of the World Factbook, the country facts and the phrasebook. ברוכים הבאים לסיפון!

SkyPocket 4.0.2 learns to take "not sure" for an answer. The aircraft walkthrough asks what you can see from your seat, and one honest answer is that you cannot tell. Skipping a question used to end the walkthrough on the spot and hand back all sixty-five types at once. It now moves on to the next question, the way it always meant to, so the barking dog under the floor is finally reachable. Also fixed: the reel's trim handles. Taking hold of the right-hand one snapped your clip down to half a second instead of trimming it. The rest of this release is speed. A long recording holds eighteen thousand fixes, and the flight log, the flight page and the reel were each re-measuring the whole track from scratch, in the reel's case thirty times a second. They work it out once now. The logbook no longer reads every flight you have ever taken before the first frame draws, your photos and clips are weighed off the main thread, and summits either side of the date line have stopped falling off the map.

SkyPocket 4.0.1 teaches its GPS some stubbornness. Some flights never got a fix: iOS would quietly wedge the location session and replay the same stale position as if it were news, while any freshly opened GPS app locked on in a minute. SkyPocket now sees through the replay and rebuilds its GPS from scratch mid-flight. Distance no longer counts parked-at-the-gate jitter as flying, and when the signal is truly gone the cockpit says so plainly: NO GPS SINCE, with the tip that actually helps, a window seat with the phone near the glass. Also new: a RATE SKYPOCKET row in Settings. Ratings are counted per country, so yours genuinely counts.

SkyPocket 4.0 knows what you're flying in. Tell it your aircraft, or let the new walkthrough work it out from your seat: the safety card trick, seats across, engines, windows, even the famous barking dog under the floor. Then the flight explains itself as it happens: takeoff roll, gear up, the sudden quiet a minute after takeoff, cruise at your aircraft's own Mach, descent, landing. Two dozen cabin sounds decoded, and the scary-sounding ones wear a calm NORMAL badge, for the nervous flyer in your row. The cockpit is also yours to arrange now: the new PANEL button hides the tiles you don't need and reorders the rest. Also fixed: GPS refusing to lock on the second leg of a multi-flight day.

SkyPocket now speaks Ukrainian and Russian, its twelfth and thirteenth languages. As with every language before them, it is the whole app: the cockpit, the logbook, the camera, all 238 country chapters of the World Factbook, the country facts and the phrasebook. Ласкаво просимо на борт! Добро пожаловать на борт!

SkyPocket now speaks Korean, its eleventh language. As with every language before it, it is the whole app: the cockpit, the logbook, the camera, all 238 country chapters of the World Factbook, the country facts and the phrasebook. 탑승을 환영합니다.

SkyPocket now speaks Chinese, its ninth and tenth languages: Simplified and Traditional. The two editions were written separately rather than converted character by character, because Taiwan and the mainland genuinely use different words. As with every language before it, it is the whole app: the cockpit, the logbook, the camera, all 238 country chapters of the World Factbook, the country facts and the phrasebook. 欢迎登机。歡迎登機。 Also in 3.2, both from a passenger's suggestion: tap JUST WATCH and the instruments run without recording a thing. It is the honest option when you join a flight halfway, where a recording would have a start and an end that are both wrong. Takeoff detection still offers to record if you change your mind. And START FLIGHT has moved to the bottom of the screen, pinned where your thumb already is, instead of at the top of a scroll.

SkyPocket now speaks Portuguese, its eighth language. And not just on the surface: the cockpit, the logbook, the camera, all 238 country chapters of the World Factbook, the country facts and the phrasebook, every word of it. Switch languages any time in Settings. Bem-vindos a bordo.

SkyPocket now speaks Spanish and French, its sixth and seventh languages. And not just on the surface: the cockpit, the logbook, the camera, all 238 country chapters of the World Factbook, the country facts and the phrasebook, every word of it. Switch languages any time in Settings. Bienvenidos a bordo. Bienvenue à bord.

The big one. When you land, SkyPocket can now turn the flight into a reel: your route drawing itself over the chart, your records, your photos, clips and notes, in the order they happened. You pick every ingredient, every clip's eight seconds, every scene's pace. 9:16, ready to post. In flight, the tab bar hands over to a flight deck: photo, clip, and a new kind of note that remembers your speed, altitude and the country below at the moment you wrote it. Everything you make waits on the flight's page. A ten-language phrasebook rides along, spoken aloud and working in flight mode: the essentials, a sentence builder that only offers sentences that exist, and the answers to listen for. The chart grew 41,000 named peaks and 3,000 lakes, with a layer panel to tune what you see. Pick a destination for distance to go, live ETA and arrival time. Choose what the lock screen shows. And SkyPocket speaks German now, its fifth language.

Lakes and mountain peaks on the offline map now, named, with their heights when you zoom in close. The ridge off the wing has a name, and the lake below it too. Your units, everywhere: choose knots, km/h or mph for speed and feet or metres for altitude, and every readout follows, from the cockpit tapes to the logbook. Distance in miles or kilometres to match. SkyPocket speaks Italian too now, the fourth language alongside English, Arabic and Japanese: the cockpit, the log, the camera, the notifications, country names and facts, and the whole World Factbook. Switch in Settings or on first launch, and it changes instantly with no restart. Plus smoother window callouts that no longer point left when a city is barely off the nose, better names for the major airports, and a handful of fixes including a map crash on older iPhones.

Japanese, all of it: the cockpit, the log, the camera, the notifications, country names and facts, and the whole World Factbook, all 238 chapters. That makes three languages alongside English and Arabic. Switch in Settings or on first launch, and it changes instantly with no restart. SkyPocket is on Android now too, with everything the iPhone version does. Two stores and three languages is why this one is 2.0 rather than 1.6.

SkyPocket now speaks Arabic — all of it: the cockpit, the log, the camera, the notifications, country names and facts, and the whole World Factbook, all 238 chapters. Switch in Settings or on first launch; it changes instantly, no restart. Thanks to the reviewer who asked.

- The map grows up. Your aircraft now glides across the chart instead of ticking. Terrain relief - watch the Alps light up beneath you. A day/night line where the sun actually is. Your route drawn ahead to your destination, with time marks along the way. Airports on the chart, smoother zoom, and landmark pins that are easier to tap.

- Film the view. Record clips with a live speed and altitude marquee, or let a timelapse turn two hours of cruising into a four minute film. Stitch clips into one flight film, stats burned in. - The map became an atlas. Seas, mountain ranges, rivers, 7,000 towns and every UNESCO World Heritage Site, all offline. Fly over a wonder of the world and SkyPocket points out the window. - Every flight becomes a story: wheels up, borders crossed, the sunset you flew through, touchdown. - The factbook keeps score. Countries you have overflown, counted, next to the ones still waiting. - Flights back themselves up to iCloud. Delete the app, come back in a year, they return. - The whole app now knows when you are flying, and quietly gets out of the way when you are not. Window seat recommended, as always.

- Improved UI - Post flight view bug fixes
