SkyGuru is the closest thing to having two experts in the seats beside you: a commercial pilot calmly decoding every noise and movement, and a fear‑of‑flying therapist helping your nervous system settle. SkyGuru includes 50+ specialised tools designed to support fearful flyers before and during real flights, even if you are among the most anxious passengers.
SkyGuru is helpful both if you worry about aviation itself (turbulence, noises, safety, “what if something goes wrong”) and if your main anxiety is about your own body and mind – claustrophobia, feeling trapped, fear of panic attacks or even fear of fear.
What SkyGuru does for anxious flyers
- Predicts most turbulence zones on your route so you know in advance when it may become bumpy and for how long.
- Explains in real time what the aircraft is doing (takeoff, turns, noises, holding, go‑around, landing) in clear, non‑technical language.
- Shows weather at departure and destination and how it may influence comfort and sensations during the flight, focusing on what you will actually feel rather than abstract data.
- Answers typical fears about malfunctions, turbulence strength and delays with facts from a professional pilot’s perspective and years of clinical work with aerophobia.
- Guides you through structured exercises to stop a panic attack and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety right in your seat, using body‑ and brain‑based techniques.
- Provides a moving map and “aerotour” with interesting facts about the areas you are flying over, as well as a safety assessment of your specific flight – all to keep you engaged, informed, curious and understanding, rather than terrified.
Technology that works like real experts
- AlexAi – a fear‑of‑flying specialist trained on thousands of hours of real‑life sessions, ready to answer your “what if?” questions and suggest personalised techniques before and during your trip.
- Automatic flight‑phase recognition – SkyGuru uses your device sensors and flight data to understand where you are in the journey and to deliver explanations and forecasts exactly when you need them.
- Works fully in airplane mode once your flight is set up, so guidance and the moving map stay with you even without internet or GPS.
SkyGuru turns a mysterious, stressful flight into a sequence you can understand and manage, with support for both your mind and your body at every stage. Download SkyGuru and let each next flight become clearer, calmer and more predictable.

Although I’m still anxious on flights, the use of this app feels like I have a coach in my corner in a boxing ring.I hope to one day not have to use it at all, but until then - I’m glad I have it.
Felt supported

This is such a great idea for fearful flyers. I felt supported the whole flight. I also took the course and never would have been able to join my family on our trip without Alex’s help. Thank you so much!
This new version is a huge letdown

I was a big fan and long-time user of the first version of this app, which worked great and helped me immensely on countless flights. Unfortunately, when I tried to connect to the previous app, for my recent flight, old app was completely bugged, like it wasn’t supported anymore, and I couldn’t log into it. So I went ahead and downloaded the newest version - that’s the one I am writing a review for. On launch, the app told me I had a free flight to get used to the new UI. Great. But after I had to restart the app, the free flight was ended (even though my flight hadn’t even started yet). Huge bummer. But I was a loyal user and I have huge flying anxiety sooo I went ahead and BOUGHT one paying flight anyway, to give the new app a chance. For the whole journey the app was buggy, it didn’t react to what was happening in flight, it was completely useless and laggy, it repeated the same messages time and time again and made my phone overheat. I deleted the app before the flight was even over. I am now applying for a refund. TLDR: Don’t waste your money. Last version was fantastic, this one is a joke.

If the app "helped you countless flights immensely", we wouldn't expect such a reaction for 1 flight where things could go better ....
Doesn’t work

Great idea. Maybe a real software company can buy and re reply this cool concept. But until then do t waste your time.
