This app is a scam
The stats are completely made up. The developers have no access to pilot or maintenance history and is making money off of fear mongering. Flying is completely safe, you don’t need to pay this app to be told that. Also, I love seeing American flying the A330, a plane they retired 5 years ago, or them flying a 737 between JFK and LHR. This app is completely bogus and you shouldn’t pay money for it.

Not Accuarate
This app is simply unable to accurately provide the information it claims it provides. All airlines pilots in the US are trained and held to the same standard.
Scam
This app doesn’t provide evidence based information. Just fear mongering.
Scam ****DO NOT BUY*****
Please do not waste your money. Just fear mongering.
Exploiting Fearful Fliers
I’m an airline pilot. This app has zero basis on reality. Don’t know how it’s legal - the information provided is deceitful at best. Please don’t buy.
App doesn’t even open
Downloaded the app and it doesn’t even open.
Money grab
They have you give them 5 stars before seeing it’s $25 a year.. they attempt to sell you fear. If they really cared for your safety they would make it free. It’s a good idea in theory, but scaring everybody into seeing their flight scores by paying $25 is scammy.
SCAM!
This app has no real data and simply preys on people with fears of flying. One of the tabs says “this flight is in the air— hope you said your goodbyes.” That’s just pure manipulation and y’all should be ashamed. Gross.
Scam
They just want to scam you out of your money! Notice they have 371 review and a 4.7 star rating, and yet only the one star reviews have commented on this scam of an app. This probably mean they had all their employees give them fake 5 star reviews or they just paid for them.
Scam
They just want to scam you out of your money
Random number generator at best
This app is total garbage:
1. There is no public database of what pilot is flying your plane , and even if there was, 99.5% of pilots have never had an accident or serious incident so there is no way of giving them a “score”.
2. The aircraft type listed on flights doesn’t even match an aircraft that regularly flys the route listed, so the chances of them knowing anything about that is 0 as well.
If you’re a nervous flyer, as to talk to your pilot before the flight, once you realise they want to get home safely too you’ll be a lot more comfortable.

Exploiting your fear of flying!
The only purpose of this app is to turn your fear of flying into a monthly subscription payment.
The “data” bars for any given flight are entirely made up nonsense. The app devs have no ability whatsoever to know who your pilots are (on one day I’m an 89, the next I’m a 71 with a red bar) or the likelihood that maintenance will be required (fixing airplanes is bad, I guess?). Turbulence cannot be predicted the way the app presents it.
Don’t get me started on the “accidents” and safety ratings. They’re calling everything that’s ever happened out of the ordinary an accident, locking all but the first result behind a paywall and hoping you’re so scared that you’ll pay them to unlock it and be scared some more.
This is unethical nonsense. Don’t waste your money.

This app, and every single other one like it, is a SCAM.
Let me break this down into simple terms as someone who works in the aviation industry.
This app purports to use the following to tell you how safe your flight is: a score from 0-100 of Pilots, Maintenance, Aircraft, and Turbulence and an overview of similar accidents.
First, the score of pilots is not publicly available data, nor should it be. All pilots are held to an extreme standard of safety, and no amount of data crunching can give you even an estimate of your pilots proficiency. The only way to know how safe a pilot is is to fly with them. There is literally no way for this app to tell you how safe your pilots are. They’re lying to you. And not just about pilots.
Maintenance data is also company material. There is no way for people outside a company to know how well a maintenance professional services an aircraft without having another maintenance professional examine their work. Again, they are LYING when they say this is a statistic they can measure.
Aircraft data in general can be helpful for exactly one purpose: discovering preexisting design faults such as those in the DC-10 and 737 MAX. However it’s worth noting that when design issues like these are found, they are FIXED. Once these issues are corrected, no aircraft is any more or less safe than any other.
And then we come to turbulence forecasting. Helping aircraft avoid turbulence is one part of my job so trust me when I say there is NO WAY to forecast turbulence more than an hour or two at most before your flight. Anyone who claims to be able to tell you how turbulent your flight is going to be is trying to either take advantage of you or sell you something. If you remember nothing else from this review, remember that.
And finally we come to the “similar accidents” feature. Which is just as useless as any of the other features when determining the safety of a flight. Just because a flight three years ago had an injury due to turbulence does not mean your flight will. Just because a flight yesterday declared an emergency does not mean yours will. Planes and crews rarely fly the same flight two days in a row, let alone for years at a time.
So yes, as the developers noted in response to another review, this does “strike a nerve” for those of us in the industry. Because we would much rather you trust the people who do this for a living and have been doing this for years rather than scammers who try to scare you with manipulated data. I have family members scared of flying, and the idea that people like them have access to apps like this that do nothing to help them and everything to hurt them is SICKENING. if you have a serious concern about the safety of your flight, the only people you should be consulting are professionals, not just an app that knows how to find averages.

scam
scam
unreliable
These facts are all based on stats i think which aren’t always true, not to mention the fact it makes flight anxiety 10x worse if you have all bad markings for boxes. don’t get this
kinda pointless
this app is literally pointless unless you pay for the subscription. that part seems alright tho
Response from developer
Training predictive flight safety models on 30+ years of global aviation data is not cheap. So yes unfortunately we do need to charge for premium features to cover the cost.
Total scam
I feel sorry for people who actually believe this. The scores are totally made up- there’s no way to know pilot proficiency unless you are an actual airline employee, and even then, every pilot is held to the same standard. Also labeling something standard like a hydraulic leak as a “major accident” is borderline criminal. Do better and quit fear mongering. There is literally ZERO way to score a pilot in advance. You don’t have access to that data.

Response from developer
Totally get that this might hit a nerve if you’re in the industry. But the scores aren’t random — they’re based on 30+ years of global aviation data. We know every pilot trains hard, but accidents still happen, and patterns do exist.

Helpful and calming
I get flight anxiety, and this app helped me a lot. Super easy to use and now party of my flying routing. Love it!
Peace of mind
I feel safer flying because this app tells me so much about the plane and pilot. Love being in control and feeling safe!
