SOAR Conquers Fear of Flying User Reviews

Top reviews

Go elsewhere

I suggest taking flying advice from someone who is mentally stable and not the creator of this app. Just read his Substack, he shows how mentally unstable he is by becoming totally unhinged on politics. If he can’t keep it together over that, who would think that he could help you overcome your fear? He clearly lives in a make believe fear himself.

Flight anxiety

Tbh the one app that’s genuinely helped me with my flight anxiety. I always buy the turbulence charts before every flight, and they’ve been pretty accurate. Helps knowing what to expect

Scrolling issue

For those having an issue scrolling through all the content, the workaround is to select the text and scroll your finger down to highlight all the content. Double tap or hold down on the first word so it gets highlighted, then use the indicator circles that show up to drag and highlight the rest of the text. You can then copy the text and paste into notepad. Just a tip.

I now love flying after 30yrs of extreme fear.

I sadly spent 30yrs of my life in total extreme fear of flying, after buying this audiobook, possibly written and produced by the best person to actually write it, all my fears are now totally gone.

Listen to this expert if you want to beat the fear of flying and see the world.

Love the G-Force App which also comes with the audiobook.

Used to be better

I had this app several years ago, and it has changed. You used to be able to read the topics. Now you just get the first page and can’t scroll any further. Don’t bother paying, but it’s still good to use the G force meter to see how little shake is really happening in the plane. Last time I used this app I drove over some train tracks with it recording during my drive and WOW. That made a huge difference to my perception of turbulence movement.

App needs update

Text cuts off, other users complaining of no sound etc

App Needs Update

The app doesn’t scroll past the first page on the turbulence section or any of the other sections. The other things like the turbulence meter and forecasting links work, but the app sorely needs an update.

Audio didn’t work

I paid and downloaded it. No sound. Deleted and re-downloaded the app and the course, still no sound. I would like a refund.

Good Basic Info- Don’t buy Course. No sound.

I really needed the course I purchased but it has no sound. I uninstalled and reinstalled as per the app notes on the App Store. Didn’t fix the issue. Sadly I lost $20. I left a message on the number provided on the app. If I hear back and am able to use the course I’ll update here and let you all know if it helped!

In App Issues

When selecting a specific topic, only the first page is visible. It will not allow me to scroll down the page to read past what is initially visible. This basically makes the app unusable for me.

The audiobook was more helpful

I would recommend the audiobook/book over this app/videos. Not sure the videos would have made sense to me if I hadn’t listened to half of the audiobook beforehand.

No Sound on Bideo

Hard to review as I downloaded the first set of videos on my iPhone 12 but no sound, so have to give one star (0 if I could) after spending a lot of money.

Can’t read articles past first page

Articles will not scroll beyond first page on iPhone 12, iOS 15.

Definitely recommend

Lots of cool walk through information. Very very helpful. -And interactive. This is good for me. I would recommend anyone looking for plane info, flying fears or gforce meter to try this app. I’m not a ‘recommendation’ person usually.

Videos not working in iOS 13

Capt. Tom’s course is really good... his book has already helped me a lot! However, I paid to purchase access to his videos in this app, and they do not play at all on iOS 13. I called and spoke to Capt Tom, and informed him. Apparently the videos worked under iOS 12. For now, don’t purchase video access in the app until the app is updated.

Helped me finally get on my flight!

I missed two flights because I couldn’t board due to my anxiety and fear of panicking during the flight. As a last ditch effort I started looking for anything that could help me. When I found this app I was cautiously optimistic but it really did help me. I was still nervous and I won’t say I completely relaxed at any point during my flight but I was able to keep myself calm and use the tools provided to make the flight as stress free as possible. I DID IT!!! Highly recommended!

No sound

Whilst the app itself is free, the video content all costs money. The video content is broken up into courses totalling 8 courses for 19.95 each, one for 59.99 and one for 29.99. Whilst this is VERY expensive (the courses for 19.95 are broken up into a series of videos totalling around 30 min with each having the same 30 sec intro) I thought - if this cures my anxiety it is worth the money. I purchased 5 courses for a total of 99.95 dollars only to download them all and find NONE of them had sound - rendering the videos useless meaning I might as well have thrown 100 dollars out the window instead.

Purchased videos not downloading

Paid 19.99 and the video won’t download!

Wonderful

I am a therapist and also experience a lot of anxiety when traveling. This app is so wonderful. Thank you for creating it! It is very comforting!

The best

Combined with music therapy, this app and Capt Bunn has helped me tremendously.
