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.
After witnessing the trauma of 9/11 from mere blocks away, flying has been the most chaotic and insurmountable aspect of my life. Discovering Alex, this app and his accompanying program(s) have not only revolutionized my understanding of aviation, but the complex emotional layers behind crippling flight anxiety.The myriad of tools (inflight and on the ground) feel like they are tailored to my specific fear(s) of flying - the level of detail and relatability is remarkable. After 25 years of battling flight, each trip is becoming easier to navigate. Myself, my wife and my inner child are beyond grateful for this new found freedom that wouldn’t be possible without Alex & SkyGuru.Thank You (x 1,000,000)Sincerely,Erik Björklund

So I am a terrible flyer. I get extremely anxious and the worst thoughts possible come through my head when traveling via airplanes. Take off is actually my biggest issue and where I endure the most fear. I was on my way back home to Chicago 3 days ago and has a pretty terrible anxiety attack to the point where I thought I might die (literally). It got so bad that I wanted to rent a car for the way back and drive to Denver. Well I spent the entire weekend reading about airplanes and my fear of flying and someone stumbled into this app. I can say with confidence that this app saved me from going through the same thing again. The app takes its time to explain to you every single step an airplane takes from the moment you get in to the moment you get out. It tell you when you should expect turbulence and how bad it will be. It explains to you why it’s happening and so many more things. I will continue to use this app for the rest of my life I can GUARANTEE YOU. It told me the altitude of the plan, the pitch, the roll, where in the map I am, it would tell me when I’m crossing points of interests like major airports and cities. It couldn’t get better than that. Yes, the app does have some minor flaws. It could be worked on and made better but I’ll still give it a 5 star rating. It did for me everything that I needed the app to do. Thank you developers for creating a tool that will help me fly from now on.
