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.

SkyGuru was created by a professional pilot and fear of flying therapist Alex Gervash. The app receives information about your flight from professional aviation sources used by airlines. Next, SkyGuru combines the data from your iPhone sensors and the program algorithms to recognize flight stages and accompanies you the entire journey. It supports, teaches, comments on, and explains everything that’s going on during the flight, all in real time and in a flight mode.

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.

Developer Response ,

thank you for your opinion, but what exactly went wrong?

It just stopped working

Firstly I bought it and right after they said- we updated and u will receive subscription for 1 year only instead of full. Thats scam. Now it doesn't even open. I want my money back.
