Automatic takeoff time detection! Set up a flight with a takeoff in the future and the app (with your permission) will monitor your device’s acceleration data to attempt to detect a takeoff profile. The next time you open the app it will suggest this time for you to accept (or reject). Additional sound options for alarms! If the default alarm sound has been insufficient you can now choose custom sounds (inspired by cockpit alert sounds on ‘the triple’). You can even choose “silent” if you want visual and/or haptic alarms only. 4 new app icons (all with dark mode variations).
