SkyPocket

Your flight, from the inside.

Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

SkyPocket now speaks Japanese, and it is on Android too. Free on both stores until Sunday 26 July. SkyPocket turns your phone into a cockpit for passengers. Flip on flight mode and everything still works: GPS is receive-only, like a radio, so your position keeps flowing while your phone transmits nothing at all. WHAT YOU GET IN THE AIR • Live ground speed, altitude, track and vertical speed on cockpit-style tapes • An offline moving map with coastlines packed inside the app. Mid-ocean included • Cabin pressure altitude from the barometer: watch the cabin climb to 7,000 ft on its own schedule • Turbulence, g-force and bank angle from the motion sensors • The country below you, its local time and a fact to read as you cross it • The sun's position, so you know which side of the plane to sit on RECORD THE WHOLE FLIGHT Tap once before takeoff. SkyPocket keeps recording with your phone locked in your pocket, shows live stats on the lock screen, and detects the landing by itself. Force-quit, crash, dead battery: your flight survives and offers to resume. AFTER LANDING • Flights name themselves from 4,000 airports: BFS to BCN, not just a date • A logbook counts your lifetime flights, hours airborne and kilometres flown • Replay flies the whole route in thirty seconds, numbers ticking as it goes • Share a flight card, stamp your window photos with live stats, or export CSV HONEST BY DESIGN No ads, no account, no analytics, no subscription. Nothing leaves your phone. One price, and the whole world's map, airports and facts ship inside the app. A window seat helps: GPS struggles through a metal fuselage. If the signal drops, SkyPocket estimates your position honestly, marked in amber, until the fix returns. SkyPocket is for passengers, not for navigation. Follow crew instructions.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

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.
