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.

Best app ever. I’ve used this since its Beta stage and I managed to get to New Zealand and Aus from the UK using it. It takes all the anxiety away for me as I feel confident and understand why the plane is doing what it is. Honestly, worth every penny. I’m getting to the point now, that I might even be able to fly without it. So thank you so much to the developers. Eternally grateful. :)

Great app, really helped me to control my stress around turbulence with the instruments option, where you can see the turbulence Gs force, great tool to make me feel a bit more in control, also nice the map tool where you can see where your flight is on the map, also is nice all the weather updates, really really nice app. Will keep using for sure, it really helped me to feel less anxious.

Do not waste your money on this App! I have purchased it a couple of years back for £15 which is a lot of money for the app! The developers have since updated it and it is no longer working, suggesting that I spent another £16 to purchase it again! I have been raising this issue with the app’s appalling tech support since March this year and got nowhere. After exchanging dozen of pointless emails, I have given up now. Stay away from this russian charlatans!Update to the above: the company got back to me following this review asking to get in touch with their tech support so they can help me! Completely ignoring the fact that I already said in my review that I spent 4 hours on email with their support team who in the end said that there is nothing they can do for me and I just need to register again and pay for it again! Complete jokers! STAY AWAY!!!!!

Well, we've offered to move from old PRO version to a new one, that is much more interesting and has a lot of new features. The user can decide to stay with previously purchased app and to use it lifetime , or, if he/she wants, they can move to a new version getting 1 year usage for free , because of previous purchase. PS as an international team of developers , pilots and psychologists, who worked years on this app, we can not accept any racism or other offensive language. We will not tolerate it here as well as on your contacts with our support group .
Fantastic App!

You can tell this is really made by people who care about you wanting to feel safe and enjoying flying. Even features in the free version are so insightful and have such amazing information. Really recommend
• If the flight isn't following the computed route, you can now pick another route right in the air.
• Distance between two points on the map: touch them with two fingers.
• Words of support for fellow fearful flyers — and from them: send and receive them in flight when there's Wi‑Fi.
• The first lesson of the video course can be downloaded in the app in advance, taken along and watched in airplane mode with no internet.
• A new turbulence forecast format.
• And dozens of fixes and improvements.
