Backup Glass Cockpit on your iPad
Stratus Horizon Pro displays a complete Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) for supplemental attitude information in your cockpit. Driven by a Stratus receiver, the AHRS feature will display a super responsive pitch and bank instrument on your iPad. It aligns itself automatically, so you can just turn it on and fly. This provides an excellent backup for emergency situations.
Radio Transcription & Playback
Plug in and play back. You’ll never have to say “say again” again when you use the radio playback feature. Plug in a Stratus Audio Cable to capture ATC communications for easy one-touch playback. Similar to how visual voicemail works, the ATC communications will be converted into text, providing a visual assist for referencing previous audio clips for playback. This enables pilots to receive a clearance, ATIS, or other important ATC communications without needing to write them down
Stratus Audio Cable
The Stratus Audio Cable (available to purchase for $49.99 from the Appareo web store) is needed to enable the radio transcription and playback feature. No cellular service or internet connection is required to operate the app.
Stratus Device Management
Download firmware updates for all models of Stratus portable ADS-B receivers, Stratus 1, 2, 1S, 2S, 2i, 3, 3i, and 4. Switch your Stratus 3 to "Open ADS-B Mode" to utilize its GDL-90 protocol that integrates Stratus with most flight apps. Stratus 4 defaults to GDL-90 mode. Enable notifications to get updates any time there is a firmware update to your portable device.
Stratus Horizon Pro is a flight app that can be viewed in day mode, night mode, or via heads-up display.
App Multitasking
Stratus Horizon Pro supports app multitasking with split view and overlay view, so you can use radio transcription and playback alongside your favorite EFB. The EFB app must be able to support multitasking.
I have had the app loaded and purchased the cable many months ago with the anticipation of the transcription being released soon as stated on the web site. When is soon?
Developer Response
Transcriptions are still in testing but expected to be available in March 2020
Great App
RobertoHoskin
I’ve had my stratus 2s for over 5 years now with no issues, one day however the ADS-B function stopped working. Downloaded this app and installed the firmware and it’s good as new. Only issue I see with the app is if you turn might mode on it disrupts the firmware download screen.
Only one major flaw
Kristoffer993
Love the theory behind the app. It could be a lifesaver. I have it loaded on my iPad and iPhone. I only gave it 3 stars because the app only works on horizontal mode. I keep my yoke mounted iPhone and iPad vertical. In the event of a vacuum failure or lost of AI, the app would be running sideways. Not the best position in the event of an emergency. Especially if IMC. I don't think it would be a tough fix. Not sure why they haven't made orientation and option.
Works on iPad but not my iPhone

I have an iPhone ES and an iPad. The transcription on my iPad works ok with some misses or long transmissions cut short. My iPhone shows the audio signal coming in but no transcription text appears. I am using try latest version 2.7.0. I had hoped to use the transcription on my phone only and dedicate my iPad to ForeFlight navigation and weather.
We've got a new update for you this Spring. We've updated some of our language used for transcriptions to help better identify airports and some works. We are hoping to have even more updates for the language model this summer.
We've also added push notification support to let you know when there are new software updates for your Stratus Portable. These are completely optional, but we hope to let you know when there is a new update available for your hardware.
As we get into the summer flying season we hope to hear from you if there is something you'd like to see in the app or something we could be doing better. If you are at Sun N' Fun or OshKosh this year, we'll be there. Stop by and tell us how we are doing. Fly Safe!
