SkyTimer is the cockpit companion that tracks your fuel and logs your flight. It draws your aircraft's fuel system as it really is, tells you when to switch tanks, and records takeoffs, landings, and times on its own. On iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch. *** YOUR FUEL, TRACKED *** SkyTimer estimates fuel used and remaining in every tank, live, from time on each tank and your aircraft's fuel burns. Change fuel flow mid-flight as conditions change, or pick a burn you've set up, like Rich of Peak, Lean of Peak, or Economy Cruise. - Your fuel system, drawn as it really is: from a 172 on Both to a twin with crossfeed, with up to 7 tanks and 4 engines. - Fuel Management Plans set the tanks each flight starts on and when to switch: by time on tank, fuel used, or fuel transferred. Smart Balance keeps your tanks even. - Works with a wide range of fuel selectors, transfer pumps, and crossfeeds. - Start from a catalog of common aircraft, or set up your own. Fuel quantities are estimates. Always confirm fuel with your gauges and a visual check. *** YOUR FLIGHT, LOGGED *** Smart Track uses GPS ground speed and your aircraft's Vso to detect takeoffs and landings, day and night. SkyTimer logs block and flight times, out/off/on/in times, and every airport, including stops, from a built-in worldwide airport database that works without Internet. Automatic detection needs a device with built-in GPS. Every flight goes into your logbook with fuel used, time on tanks, and Hobbs and Tach. Add notes, edit a trip, and export to CSV or LogTen. *** THE NEAREST AIRPORT, WHERE TO LOOK FOR IT *** Nearest gives you the closest airport like a traffic call, "KATW, 9 o'clock, 7 miles," with its runways, frequency, and elevation. *** ON iPHONE, iPAD, AND APPLE WATCH *** On iPad, run SkyTimer full screen or beside your EFB in Split View, Slide Over, or a window. On iPhone, the Live Activity and Dynamic Island keep fuel and times in view while you fly with your EFB. On iPhone Duo, open it up to see fuel, Nearest, and your trip side by side. On Apple Watch, every feature is on your wrist, and the watch keeps tracking on its own if your phone stays behind. Your aircraft and flights sync across your devices with iCloud. *** FREE TO START *** SkyTimer is free to download and logs block and flight times at no charge.

Also it allows you to add fuel profiles but doesn’t give you the option to specify that the custom fuel flow number associated with an altitude. Many aircraft have different fuel flows for each altitude but this app doesn’t allow you to specify them. And, there is no way to select max power cruise or efficient cruise power should you want to enter two different fuel flows for an altitude. **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the review and for bringing the fuel unit display discrepancy to my attention. That fix will be addressed in the next update. Regarding multiple cruise fuel flows — you can actually specify additional values. Select your aircraft from the listing in the Aircraft tab to edit it, then select the engine. You'll see an option to "Add Custom Flow." Give it a label and enter the flow value. If it's a multi-engine aircraft, go to the next engine to set the custom flow value as well. Now when you're in flight, you can quickly select that custom flow by the label you provided, and it will set the engine(s) to those values. If you have any other questions or feedback, feel free to use the "Contact Us" link at the top of the Settings page in the app, or email support@skytimer.app. I try to respond within 24 hours. ### 1/5 — Garbage *2026-01-03, version 2.1.0* Couldn’t set up the aircraft past fuel selector. Waste of time ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-11-02, version 2.1.0* I’m running iOS 18.6.2 and this app just crashes. ### 4/5 — Almost Perfect *2025-01-07* Love this app. Has some very helpful tools. Could you add the ability to show time remaining per tank? ### 5/5 — Dramatic improvement! *2024-08-01, version 2.0* In version 2.0 there are a huge number of improvements including up to 8 fuel tanks, selectors and very customs timers. A great app gets better! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2024-01-21, version 1.9.6* I used this app while flying a Piper Arrow. While the fuel remaining wasn’t 100% accurate (i didn’t expect it to be), it got within 1gal per tank. App can still use improvements. For example I kept having to wake up my phone to see if I needed to switch because the alarm wouldn’t sound of it was off. Some sort of “keep screen alive” option like Foreflight would be amazing. Good work otherwise. ### 4/5 — More than 2 fuel tank option would help *2024-01-06, version 1.9.6* Great app, just upgraded to Pro and realized you only have options for up to two fuel tanks. I fly an aircraft with four fuel tanks and must have missed the details in the description. Hopefully more fuel tanks can be added soon. **Developer response:** Hi. The latest version of the app (2.0) has been fully rearchitected to support up to 7 fuel tanks and 4 engines--this means you can use it to manage fuel in just about every aircraft. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2023-11-11, version 1.9.4* The app only supports 2 fuel tanks but you don’t really learn this until you buy it. It’s essentially useless for me for the purpose I intended, which is to track fuel in all four (or six) tanks, both in my aircraft and the other one I fly. Refund please and I will reconsider purchasing when this serious shortcoming has been addressed. **Developer response:** Hi. The latest version of the app (2.0) has been fully rearchitected to support up to 7 fuel tanks and 4 engines--this means you can use it to manage fuel in just about every aircraft. ### 3/5 — Still needs some tweaking *2023-11-11, version 1.9.4* First, you need to have place for comments in the app so you can improve it and make it an even better tool. Have the ability to add a number instead of scrolling which takes far too long if it’s a big number…perhaps use a slider Increase the amount of pounds in the fuel tank size. 300 pounds is only 50 USG my tank holds 62.5. Lastly, please allow the ability to not have to switch tanks as not all aircraft use this. Thanks, Gord Tessier ## Frequently asked questions about SkyTimer ### What is SkyTimer?

Your aircraft's fuel system is drawn as it really is, with every tank, selector and pump and live quantities. Endurance, fuel flow, range and Zulu time stay in view, and the status bar counts down to your next tank switch. Prefer the old look? Choose Classic in Settings › Display. • Nearest airport, always in view. The closest suitable field with its direction, distance, longest runway, frequency and pattern altitude, plus a nearby list and Direct To. Set the minimum runway for each aircraft. • A new Preflight. Your departure is picked from the map, you set the fuel in each tank on the aircraft drawing, and enter Hobbs and tach before you start. • Track Hobbs and tach together. Log one or both, at preflight and at the end of each trip. • Fuel Timeline. Saved trips show the fuel in each tank across the whole flight, with every tank switch, stop and refuel. • Easier aircraft setup. Pick your type from over 150 common GA aircraft and its tanks, capacities and typical fuel burn fill in, including twins and Bonanza tip tanks. Set up fuel management plans with tank-switch and pump reminders, and add extra fuel burns such as rich or lean of peak. • Try it on the ground. A guided test flight, about three minutes from Oshkosh to Green Bay, walks you through the new design in your own aircraft. Test Fly any aircraft from the Aircraft tab. • Redesigned for Apple Watch. The new flight screen is on your wrist. Turn the Digital Crown for nearest airports, what's next, fuel and route. • Made for iPhone Duo, with layouts for the cover screen and the open display. • Plus: an updated airport database, sending to LogTen and FlightLoop with a message if a send can't go through, Manage Subscription in Settings, and many fixes. Your aircraft, flights and reminders carry over. SkyTimer 3.0 requires iOS 17 and watchOS 10 or later. ### 2.5.12 — 2026-09-18 - Updated airport database: moved, renamed, or re-identified airports corrected. - Fixed takeoff and landing detection occasionally staying off until the app was restarted. The GPS Status screen now shows whether detection is running. - Fixed a bug where the first trip after switching aircraft sometimes saved under the previous aircraft. ### 2.5.11 — 2026-09-04 - You can now correct an aircraft's Hobbs or tach reading, or record a replaced meter, right in the aircraft editor. Future trips count up from the new reading; past trips keep theirs. - SkyTimer now warns before a trip edit or deletion changes an aircraft's current hours, and when a preflight reading looks far off from the aircraft's tracked value. - Fixed the aircraft setup screens on older iOS/iPadOS versions. ### 2.5.10 — 2026-08-25 - Fixed an issue where an aircraft could appear twice with flights split between the copies. Duplicates now merge automatically, restoring your full flight history and hours. - Fixed the flight timer occasionally staying on the lock screen after a trip ended. ### 2.5.9 — 2026-08-08 - Your Plus subscription now stays active even when SkyTimer can't reach the App Store. A weak signal at the airport no longer means restoring your purchase by hand. - Renewals, and purchases made on another device, show up right away instead of waiting for the next launch. - Departure airport detection is more persistent. If the first location fix doesn't come through, SkyTimer keeps trying rather than sitting and waiting. - Layout fixes on the Apple Watch location screen for smaller watches. ## Apps similar to SkyTimer | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [NRST](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/nrst/id828514590) | 4.6 (9) | Free | Navigation | | [TLAR](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/tlar/id1558908342) | 5.0 (5) | Free | Navigation | | [Fly Virga](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/fly-virga/id1524210560) | 3.8 (20) | Free | Navigation | | [FlyQ+ EFB](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/flyq-plus-efb/id915571252) | 4.1 (905) | Free | Navigation | | [Hughes App](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/hughes-app/id1491944548) | 4.9 (8) | Free | Navigation | | [SocialFlight](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/socialflight/id533008888) | 3.0 (142) | Free | Navigation | --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
