Absolutely nothing - tapped start a million times - deleted and reinstalled app - nada
Makes my ears much more comfortable during flights. It’s also super interesting to track air pressure change! I just wish the altitude equivalent could be displayed in metres too.
Had more luck with Earplanes on my second attempt and the app helped, although I did take multiple other precautions against barotrauma so it’s hard to say what made a significant impact. Definitely worth a try.
You can’t even give it the permission it requires. Can’t start the app cause it keeps asking to update the settings however it already has notifications turned on
Me and my mom went to Chicago for spring break and on the way there on the plane my ear were hurting really badly so when I landed I looked up what can help and it said these so I went to the store and bought some and now I just landed and my ear feel like nothing this product works very well so does the app and you can also we’re headphones with them on.👍

Every time I flew my ears would hurt so bad or I would pop my eardrum until I started using this product. When I use it in the air I have no pain and no issues whatsoever. I will say though for shorter flights you might have to wear them the whole time but I still highly recommend this product.
I’ve turned on my location settings with them and yet it still says I need to activate them.
Sometimes it works sometimes it’s not.
Every time I fly I get the worst pain from a 1-10 I hit a 30 times I bleed reason why I hate flying I go deaf for days with pain but this brand although I did feel pressure it was mild and I feel but better I can hear and I’m not crying thank you ❤️
Works great. Does exactly what it says. Even helps you buy new Ear planes if you like them and beers more
This is the best thing if you don’t like when your ears pop. Great product.
The app enhances the best product ever.
This is a great product made better with the app to help prevent or diminish ear and sinus discomfort due to rapid changes in air pressure. I personally use it when I travel and recommend it to my patients. It’s safe, effective, and inexpensive. Now with the app any rapid changes in pressure mid-flight can be addressed. Thanks for an excellent and easy to use product that markedly reduces ear and sinus discomfort from flying. It also works great for mountainous driving (but not by the driver). Kudos to the people that make Earplanes.

After setting up the various permissions required, and after repeated attempts to “Start Flight”this useless app was unable to fetch any data let alone “initial” data. Waste of time.
Happy with this product. I always have a lot of pain from my ears. Thank you
Please add a to Apple Watch !!!
While the verdict is still out on the Earplane plugs themselves, the app definitely doesn’t work. I tried updating everything, restarting my phone, etc, but the app never measured the pressure in the cabin. I automatically just put the plugs in during the last 30-40 minutes of flight. Solid idea for those of us who have trouble with ear pressure during flying, just wish it would have worked.

I have been using these since 2011 and they have made flying a million times more comfortable because the pressure really kills my ears
I’ve used this app and plugs successfully on this iPhone 13. On my current flight your app opens but displays no pressure or altitude readings or graph. No notifications about when to remove or replace plugs. iPhone 13 updated to 17.4. What happened? Please fix.
App doesn’t work at all tried changing several different settings on my phone and couldn’t get it to work. Waste of space
