### 2/5 — More than one flight

*2024-01-08*

Have to close app and reopen for another flight

### 4/5 — You’ll still die

*2022-08-07*

Despite knowing the odds, if you do go down, you’re gonna die 😐

### 2/5 — Not finished

*2021-11-29*

UI is incomplete. If you get an estimate, there is no indicated way to go back. (It is possible, just not visually indicated)

### 2/5 — Back buttons missing

*2020-12-27*

Back buttons are missing after you see the result or when seeing plane details, etc. You have to quit the app to get back to the previous screen. Development on this app might have been abandoned.

### 3/5 — Good...

*2020-07-09*

Functionality is limited. Price is high. But it definitely works

### 5/5 — Quite comforting

*2020-04-16*

Recommend to those who need a little extra assurance 👍🏻

### 2/5 — Extremely limited app for the price

*2020-02-03*

This app has good information, but it was poorly executed. Once you enter the trip information there is no way to go back and change it.  You have to exit from the app and try again.  Hardly worth the 3 bucks.

### 5/5 — Really helped my fear of flying

*2020-01-05*

There’s something about seeing the stats that puts it all in perspective: “you could take this flight every day for 14,000 years and be ok”....yup, that’s what I need to hear! Well worth the 3.99 for my mental health!

### 4/5 — Maybe a little too much info?

*2019-12-31*

I am a nervous flyer. Was feeling pretty good about my flight (1 in 10m chance of crashing) until the airline changed the plane. Now the risk is 1 in 5 million. Still great odds, but double the chance I had. Probably would’ve been better off never seeing the odds. Ugh. Have no idea if these are accurate statistics, but have started checking the app for best airlines/planes prior to booking. Maybe a little too much info for nervous flyers? Kind of makes you more nervous if your flight is anything but dark green in all the categories. Regardless-it’s a great app. Fun to put in random itineraries and see what happens.

### 5/5 — Actually helped

*2019-08-07*

Helped me a lot with my anxiety!

### 5/5 — I almost never review apps but...

*2018-12-18*

This one has saved my sanity as a frequent flyer with anxiety. Thank you so much!

### 3/5 — Ok

*2018-12-01*

This app is neat but for someone truly fearful it can make you more scared. It also doesn’t take ETOPS ratings into consideration. Not sure why the risk for some models of aircraft are designated yellow when they have an excellent safety record such as Boeing 767.

### 4/5 — Calms me down

*2018-07-03*

I am a nervous flyer and this helps

### 5/5 — Going down

*2017-08-10*

Excelent for people who have a fear of flying like me!!!

### 4/5 — Hard to know

*2017-03-24, version 2.7*

I tried inputting the worst airline, the worst departure, and the worst destination, along with the worst airplane and it still gave only a 1 in 300,000 or so chance of going down, so there is room to doubt methods, etc.

### 5/5 — Great

*2016-12-21*

Like the list of airports green etc

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Doesn’t have my airline

*2023-05-23*

I fly Jet Blue all the time and it isn’t listed.

### 1/5 — Not comforting!

*2020-01-09*

This app is supposed to comfort me, but instead it has made me more scared. I put the details of a flight that recently crashed and details of a flight I’m due to take and it said I have more probability in crashing on the flight I am due to take!!!! I asked for an immediate refund after seeing the results.

### 1/5 — What a waste of money

*2019-10-01*

This app is ridiculous, the reviews have to be fake lol it doesn’t even have Jet Blue as an airline option! And when you put in all the info, al it does is give you the statistics of you going down. Mine was 1 in 5,000,000. I could’ve googled that.

### 1/5 — Is that is

*2018-06-08*

I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong but it seems like this app only tells you one stat, how many times you would have to fly on that flight until statistically you would go down. Is that it? I thought it was a selection of calming facts about flying.

### 1/5 — App

*2016-07-26, version 2.5*

Bought this app thinking it would help me with my fear of flying. Only shows flight vs crash statistics. Nothing else. Can find this info on Google. Not worth the money/download.

### 1/5 — Really?  Ads in a £1.49 application?

*2016-01-26*

App itself is fine, but for what it is, I don't think it's good of them to put ads in a paid app.  Note that they don't show the ad banner (permanently at the bottom of the screen, and covering some app functionality like "share" etc) in the images in the app store.

### 1/5 — Why isn't Thomas Cook on?!?!

*2015-10-04*

I love how every airline but Thomas Cook is on. Would have given this 5 stars , however considering I've just spent 79p merely for this airline to find out its not on. It only gets a 1. Sorry.

### 1/5 — I can't found the airport

*2015-02-08*

I'm was looking for 
Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport
Airport in China
(CAN) 
But I can't found it

### 1/5 — Unrealistic

*2015-02-02, version 1.0.1*

First, I cannot input certain airline companies or fairly common aircraft. Second, the app does not give accurate statistics. Try entering a Canadair from Seattle to New Zealand (the odds are 100% crash for lack of fuel capacity) but the app still gives you a 1 in 1,900,000 roughly. Obviously it doesn't take into account major factors like fuel and payload in its calculations. Waste of 99 cents. Needs to be more comprehensive. Until then, charging for this app is a joke.

### 1/5 — Not useful

*2015-02-01*

A refund would be nice...

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Ty

*2025-02-15*

Ty for creating this app

### 5/5 — Informative

*2024-09-29*

This app is very informative and helpful.

### 5/5 — So simple and yet so brilliant.

*2024-08-16*

I absolutely love this app for its pure entertainment value. I’m a numbers guy, and I love seeing the odds. I love how I can see which airports, airlines, or planes are a little riskier based on the shade of color they are. 

So simple, but it’s provided me way more entertainment than it should have over 10?, 15? years. I wish I could remember how I found out about it so I could thank that person/website/etc.

### 5/5 — Informative

*2024-06-06*

Easy to use

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-05-23*

Calms be down before flights

### 5/5 — Still my favourite app

*2024-04-08*

I’ve had this app for years and it remains one of the most intriguing items on my phone. I may not be planning on flying from Pyongnang to Aden Adde Azerbaijan airlines, but it’s good to be able to know the safest way to do so just in case.

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2023-01-09*

Thank you

### 5/5 — Great app

*2022-07-06*

Very reassuring

### 5/5 — Very comforting

*2020-11-12*

I have horrendous flight anxiety. Even with Xanax it’s almost unbearable. This is a nice little piece of comfort for me. Statistics are soothing.

### 5/5 — Great for fear of flying

*2020-09-28*

Even though this app may seem stupid it really helpede with my fear of flying.  You hear all the stats about dying on you way to the airport but this app tells you what your chances are of just crashing not dying.  Im not afraid of dying I'm afraid of speeding to the ground.  Great app.  Worth the three bucks.
