What's New in Turbulence Forecast

2026.5.1

September 14, 2026

Turbulence Forecast is ready for iOS 27! This update adds Siri integration, flight summaries and highlights, a new extra-large widget, and improved Hub and World Map layouts for wider screens and iPadOS. Your upcoming flights are now integrated more deeply with Siri and the system. Ask Siri about your past and upcoming flights using voice or text, open Turbulence Forecast directly to a specific flight, or access your upcoming flights through Spotlight search. On supported devices, the app now shows helpful highlights and summaries based on your flight schedule. A new extra-large widget gives you more information about upcoming flights directly on your Home Screen, making it easier to keep an eye on your schedule and forecasts at a glance. We’ve also improved how Turbulence Forecast adapts to different layouts. The Hub and World Map now make better use of wider screens on iPad, while the redesigned dashboard-style Hub dynamically adapts as you resize the app in iPhone Mirroring.

Great for fearful flyers

I use the free features of the maps, max turbulence potential and pilot reports, but I have also gotten my personalized flight forecast and it really helps me with my fear of flying. Just to know approx where I may get the bigger bumps and how long they may last mentally helps me so much.

Great Customer Service

This app helped me know what to expect for my flight. Bonus points for their wonderful customer service!

Amazing!!!

Provides a great toolkit for a nervous flyer. Helps me mitigate nerves because of the incredible information it provides. I use for all my flights.

Peace of Mind

I used to be a terrible flyer. I’d dread the days before and the anxiety would torture me. The TF app put me at ease. There was nothing I could do but if I knew what to expect it gave me more information to prepare. I am also a subscriber and to be able to see specific forecasts for my flights is amazing. Knowing potential routes, where turbulence may occur is awesome. I recently had a small issue and sent an email and received an email directly from the Founder and it was resolved.

Helps Fight My Flight Anxiety

I’ve been using this app for almost a year now when I fly and it is shockingly accurate in terms of level of turbulence and timing during the flight. I struggle with anxiety when I fly and turbulence is a big trigger. Knowing ahead of time what to expect and when to expect it has made me feel more relaxed and in control when flying. Highly recommend!
