Blue skies. See you up there.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
Important fix: automatic takeoff detection could miss your launch, so the flight was never recorded. That is fixed - automatic start and automatic landing both work again.
Your Apple Watch now records your heart rate while you fly. See average and peak heart rate for each flight, colour your track by heart rate or by roughness, and follow how your launch heart rate changes across the season. Finished flights are saved to Health as workouts, including the route.
You can now watch a flight from the pilot's point of view: open a flight, tap the map for fullscreen, and set the camera to first person.
