iPhone
New: made for iPhone Duo. Open it up to see your whole flight's turbulence timeline across both screens, with your flight and its forecast side by side.
Know what your flight will feel like before you board.
No ads. No account. Your first forecasts are free.
BumpCast is a flight tracker for the ride itself. It forecasts turbulence along your exact route, minute by minute, and tells you in plain words when the bumps will come, how strong they'll be, and when they'll end. Built for nervous flyers, and anyone who'd rather not be surprised by the seatbelt sign.
▶ TURBULENCE IS WEATHER. WEATHER CAN BE FORECAST.
Add your flight and BumpCast maps your route from takeoff to landing, including climb, cruise and descent. You get a simple grade ("Smooth", "A few bumps", "Bumpy in places"), a calm timeline of your whole flight, and a clear note on each bumpy stretch: when it starts, how long it lasts, and why it happens there.
▶ FIND YOUR FLIGHT BY NUMBER
• Type a flight number like AC 1504, or pick from the day's nonstops on your route, and BumpCast fills in the airports and times
• Add connecting flights in a row
• Live status, free: delays, gate and terminal changes, cancellations and diversions, with an alert when your flight is delayed
• Delayed? Your forecast moves with the new departure time, and you get one alert for both
▶ A FORECAST THAT GETS SHARPER AS YOU GET CLOSER
• Advance forecast 48 hours before departure
• Updates at 24, 6 and 2 hours out, each one saying what changed and why
• "Confirmed forecast" from high-resolution data on the day you fly
• Every forecast shows how confident it is
▶ WE'VE TAKEN OFF: YOUR FLIGHT, TRACKED AGAINST THE FORECAST
• Your countdown times itself to your real takeoff once it's reported, or tap "We've taken off" to set it yourself
• Lock Screen and Dynamic Island countdown to the next bumpy stretch
• A gentle heads-up two minutes before each stretch
• Works in airplane mode: your forecast is saved on your phone before you board
▶ CALM, ON CUE
• Guided breathing paced to your next bumpy stretch
• Short, factual explainers: what causes bumps, why planes are built for it, and what each level feels like
• Honest, calm wording. No red alerts, no scare graphics
▶ MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
Open it up: your flight and forecast side by side, and your turbulence timeline across both screens. Nothing sits on the fold.
▶ TURBULENCE MAP
• See turbulence across the country by altitude, now and up to 6 hours ahead
• Live pilot reports of what planes are actually feeling (Pro)
▶ AFTER YOU LAND
Tell us how bumpy it really was. We check every rating against the forecast and publish our accuracy in the app.
▶ COVERAGE
Detailed forecasts cover the continental United States and southern Canada. Flying elsewhere? Turn on Global outlooks (beta) in Settings for an outlook on international routes.
▶ BUMPCAST PRO
WHAT'S FREE: flight search, live flight status with gate changes and delay alerts, plus your forecast grade for up to 2 upcoming flights and the "forecast ready" notification.
WHAT'S PRO: a forecast that updates as your flight changes (every update, after delays, and when it's confirmed), the minute-by-minute timeline, minutes of smooth air and turbulence, gusty takeoffs and landings, the in-flight Live Activity and reminders, pilot reports and unlimited flights.

Ratings & Reviews
BumpCast is now made for iPhone Duo.
• Open it up and BumpCast uses both halves: your flight on one side, its forecast on the other, and the turbulence timeline running across the whole spread, so you see every bump from takeoff to landing at a glance.
• Nothing sits on the fold. Partly open, each side stacks neatly on its own; open it fully and the layout expands smoothly into the spread.
• The map, Learn, Calm and guided breathing all use both screens when open. Closed, it's the BumpCast you know.
Also new:
• Forecasts more than a week away now show the date, like "Sunday, Nov 22", instead of just the day.
• A Flight Pass bought while BumpCast was closed, or waiting on Ask to Buy, now unlocks your flight when it goes through.
• "Restore purchases" says plainly when there's nothing to restore.
• Your Lock Screen countdown re-times itself when your takeoff moves.
• Smoother gate updates, clearer times when you're in a different time zone, and better VoiceOver support.
