## What is Sky Guru Fear of flying help?

SkyGuru is the closest thing to having two experts in the seats beside you: a commercial pilot calmly decoding every noise and movement, and a fear‑of‑flying therapist helping your nervous system settle. SkyGuru includes 50+ specialised tools designed to support fearful flyers before and during real flights, even if you are among the most anxious passengers.

SkyGuru is helpful both if you worry about aviation itself (turbulence, noises, safety, “what if something goes wrong”) and if your main anxiety is about your own body and mind – claustrophobia, feeling trapped, fear of panic attacks or even fear of fear.

What SkyGuru does for anxious flyers

- Predicts most turbulence zones on your route so you know in advance when it may become bumpy and for how long.  
- Explains in real time what the aircraft is doing (takeoff, turns, noises, holding, go‑around, landing) in clear, non‑technical language.  
- Shows weather at departure and destination and how it may influence comfort and sensations during the flight, focusing on what you will actually feel rather than abstract data.  
- Answers typical fears about malfunctions, turbulence strength and delays with facts from a professional pilot’s perspective and years of clinical work with aerophobia.  
- Guides you through structured exercises to stop a panic attack and reduce physical symptoms of anxiety right in your seat, using body‑ and brain‑based techniques.  
- Provides a moving map and “aerotour” with interesting facts about the areas you are flying over, as well as a safety assessment of your specific flight – all to keep you engaged, informed, curious and understanding, rather than terrified.

Technology that works like real experts

- AlexAi – a fear‑of‑flying specialist trained on thousands of hours of real‑life sessions, ready to answer your “what if?” questions and suggest personalised techniques before and during your trip.  
- Automatic flight‑phase recognition – SkyGuru uses your device sensors and flight data to understand where you are in the journey and to deliver explanations and forecasts exactly when you need them.  
- Works fully in airplane mode once your flight is set up, so guidance and the moving map stay with you even without internet or GPS.

SkyGuru turns a mysterious, stressful flight into a sequence you can understand and manage, with support for both your mind and your body at every stage. Download SkyGuru and let each next flight become clearer, calmer and more predictable.

### 5/5 — Best App ever!

*2026-08-19*

A godsend and worth every penny. I’ve tried so many things to manage my fear of flying in some way – whether it was reading books, listening to podcasts or following pilots on TikTok, etc. Nothing has come close to helping as much as this app. I love it and wouldn’t want to miss having SkyGuru accompany me on any flight. It really ought to be promoted much more. Best app!

### 5/5 — Реальная помощь для аэрофобов со стажем

*2026-08-18*

Это было лучшее решение перед путешествием! Год назад в полете меня охватывала паника. Сейчас уже три полета я со скай гуру. Благодаря чему на каждый полет у меня есть четкий план, который составляет приложение исходя из моих персональных тревог и особенностей полета. Да, в полете связи нет, но аи ассистент на связи всегда, с ним можно просто легализовать свой страх, получить поддержку и способы самопомощи. Причем общий тон диалогов такой тонко подобранный, не приторно-соглашающийся, но принимающий и поддерживающий. Также мне очень помогала информация о маршруте, турбулентности, ветре, времени полета и разных особенностях этапов полета. Очень крутое приложение, и оно отлично работает. Когда началась не хилая тряска, я включала табло турбулентности и я и дети наблюдали и понимали, что все в порядке, плановый режим и скоро тряска закончится. Вообщем я очень благодарна разработчикам. Желаю им дальнейших успехов и развития!

### 5/5 — очень интересная идея

• Your flight statistics.
• New 11-lesson "Fear of Flying" video course — the first lesson is free for everyone, then one lesson unlocks at the start of each new month of your subscription.
• AlexAi has become an even more experienced fear-of-flying therapist, available 24/7 right in the app.

• A handier menu: features are grouped into "Weather & turbulence control", "Flight control", "Self-control" and "App control".
• We split the flight-route map and the turbulence-forecast map — now they are two separate, clearer maps and two menu items.
• Improved the algorithms that route around restricted airspace (Ukraine, Iran and so on).
• Plus dozens of smaller refinements — all for a calmer flight.
