Do you feel discomfort during flight?

Do you just feel bored on board the airplane?

Or, perhaps, you love to fly and just want to learn more about the aviation and understand it better?

SkyGuru provides passengers with detailed explanations of everything happening in flight in real time, and keeps you busy on board.

Imagine sitting next to a pilot who could explain every sound, every turn, every sensation you are feeling, notified you about any upcoming turbulent areas, and just turned your flying experience into a conscious process. SkyGuru – is your personal guide in the world of aviation.

It used to be good - now it’s too glitchy

The app used to be fantastic. I used it very frequently. However, now with ANY flight despite uninstalling, reinstalling, logging in and out, even creating a new account and purchasing more flights, it still says ‘error retrieving data’ and I cannot get ANY flight data, no matter the time. 5 minutes in advance or 3 hours, it doesn’t matter, it glitches. So disappointing considering it has so much potential. Please reconsider charging so much for flights if it doesn’t even work :(

This app is incredible but you need to do the full course

The app was incredibly helpful. I am so glad I did the course and had sky guru to support me.
I was astonished at how positive my flying experience was, I haven’t felt this good in an airplane in years! Yes, I was scared a little at some stages of the flight but I had Aleksey’s voice in my head reminding me that it’s just adrenaline and that I’m safe. And the app explaining and reminding me all of the technical stuff was like a protective comfort blanket. Thank you so so much!
Even my husband (who’s suffered through my numerous panic attacks and tears on flights for years) said that Aleksey Gervash is an absolute genius😄
So glad I listened to the full 60 hours of the course and finally invested this time to change my life!

Frequent App Crashes

This app is great for anxiety and explaining the motions or sounds during flight, especially when there is turbulence. It was disappointing to purchase 3 flights and have the app continually crash on the 3rd flight. Even after deleting, reloading and purchasing another flight it still crashed. Not worth the money when that happens.

Developer Response ,

Sorry to hear you've experienced some problems with the app. Considering, 2 first flights worked for you, i guess the problem might be a lack of memory on your device. Also, please make sure you're NOT using earphones with the app. It wouldn't work together. Let us know if this helps.
