User reviews

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!
