A window seat is recommended for the best results. The Aviation Nerd: • Live ground speed, altitude, track and vertical speed on cockpit-style tapes • An offline moving map with coastlines packed inside the app. Mid-ocean included • Cabin pressure altitude from the barometer: watch the cabin climb to 7,000 ft on its own schedule • Turbulence, g-force and bank angle from the motion sensors • The country below you, its local time and a fact to read as you cross it • The sun's position, so you know which side of the plane to sit on • 41,000 named peaks and 3,000 lakes on the chart, with a layer panel to tune what you see • Pick a destination for distance to go, live ETA and your arrival time • Share a flight card, or export CSV and GPX • Replay flies the whole route in thirty seconds, numbers ticking as it goes The Nervous Flyer: • Tell SkyPocket what you're flying, or let it work it out with you: seats across, engines, windows, even the A320's famous barking dog • Every phase explained as it happens, with your aircraft's own numbers: takeoff roll, gear up, the sudden quiet a minute after takeoff, cruise at its usual Mach • Two dozen cabin sounds decoded, and the ones nervous flyers ask about wear a calm NORMAL badge • 65 aircraft with the numbers, spotting clues and trivia that make them themselves, from the A220 to the Queen of the Skies The Storyteller: • Photos stamped with your speed, altitude and position; clips with a live stats marquee • Flight notes: a thought at 36,000 feet, saved with the moment it happened • Turn the flight into a 9:16 reel: route, records, shots, clips and notes, in the order they happened. You pick every ingredient • In flight, the tab bar becomes a flight deck: photo, clip, note, one thumb The Globetrotter: • Flights name themselves from 4,000 airports: BFS to BCN, not just a date • A logbook counts your lifetime flights, hours airborne and kilometres flown • A ten-language phrasebook, spoken aloud, with a sentence builder and the answers to listen for Record the whole flight: Tap once before takeoff. SkyPocket keeps recording with your phone locked in your pocket, shows live stats on the lock screen, and detects the landing by itself. Force-quit, crash, dead battery: your flight survives and offers to resume. In your language: English, Arabic, Japanese, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese in both scripts, Korean, Ukrainian, Russian, Hebrew and Polish: the whole app and the whole bundled World Factbook, so all 238 countries can be read about in your language while you fly over them.

Your tickets now live with your flights. Attach a boarding pass, a PDF, or a photo of a paper ticket to any flight, and it stays with it. The flights you took before you had SkyPocket can come in too. Type one in, scan the barcode on a saved boarding pass to fill the form for you, or import a GPX track. Give any flight a name and tags of your own, then find it again: the logbook now searches names, tags, airports and years, and reads back a year at a time. The lock screen carries more of the flight: where you are going, how far there is left, and how much of the leg is behind you. And three fixes, all from one very thorough reader. Continuing a flight after a force quit keeps the whole route on the map instead of redrawing from the moment you tapped. A Live Activity can no longer appear twice, and there is a way to bring it back if you swipe it away. The time left no longer promises two minutes while you are still five kilometres up: it now knows how long it takes to come down, and how high the airport itself is.
