Completely accurate and gives the flight a rating. Very detailed flight plans that gives you the heads up on parts of your flight that will be bumpy. ### 2/5 — working not good *2025-07-17* no recourse possible, the app does not save any created flights 29€ for the bin ### 3/5 — Not very sure *2025-05-27* Overall pretty decent app but not always accurate. I was predicted a grade B flight and days after the flight the chart changed showing turbulence where it was not so I don’t know what’s up with that. The grades tend to change too often for comfort and then switch back in no time .. so its unpredictable for the most part ### 2/5 — No as useful as it used to be *2025-04-03, version 2025.2* Not what it used to be! I referred thousands of air travelers to this app… not any more… not very helpful. ### 5/5 — Best app for girlies scared of turbulence *2024-11-10* I’ve been using this app for 7+ years and I can honestly tell you how much I adore it! They are so incredibly kind and helpful, and always keep you updated. It helps me plan ahead for turbulence so I can go into my flight knowing what to expect. It’s also great if you have little ones with weak stomachs so you can prepare for that if it’s a bumpy flight. My son always gets scared, so knowing when we will be past the turblance helps him see a light at the end of the tunnel. I love this app, and it’s a must for travel! ### 5/5 — Great app! *2024-10-30, version 2024.4.1* Gives you a good idea for what’s ahead. Highly recommend. ### 5/5 — Best Travel App! *2024-07-28* I have used Turbulence Forecast since 2018 and use it for all my business and personal travel. Despite flying upwards of 50% of my work time I remain an anxious flier. I have used the app for turbulence maps, the AI forecasts and for multi-leg international trips the custom forecasts. Not only is the app amazing but the customer service is too. Highly recommend! ### 5/5 — Saving Grace *2024-07-27* This app has been a tremendous help for me! I have been a fearful flyer for many years and I’m just starting to fly again without my disagree or husband. That is a huge deal for me! I could not donut without this app. I like to be prepared for turbulence with the turbulence reports and I also really like the comfort of watching the g-force monitor when it gets a little bumpy so I can keep my anxiety in check- knowing that I’m not really in bad turbulence! Thank you! ### 5/5 — Highly recommend this app *2024-06-21* This app is great, it helps put some of my flight anxiety at ease. Peter, the founder literally provides the best customer service I’ve ever experienced from an app. The app is free to use but offers reasonably priced in app purchase options. ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-06-05, version 2024.2.2* Wouldn’t leave home without you! ### 5/5 — Explains a lot and accurate *2024-03-13, version 2024.1.1* Easy to use! ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2024-02-05, version 2024.1* Super easy to use and understand. The flight-specific forecasts are detailed, interesting and helpful. ### 5/5 — Must have app *2024-01-16, version 2023.12* I’ve used the Turbulence app for years. It’s an essential. I especially like tge G-Force feature. ### 5/5 — Fantastic! *2024-01-05* Very precise and easy to understand. ### 5/5 — Perfection *2023-12-04* Good software ### 5/5 — Love the update! *2023-05-10, version 2023.4.14* Great job! ### 5/5 — This Flight Attendant Loves This App *2023-03-10* I am a flight attendant and checking this app has become a part of my routine every day I am at work. It is standard for pilots to brief with flight attendants before each flight about what kind of turbulence to expect. Quite frankly, I find this app *at least* as reliable as the briefings I get from pilots, sometimes it is more reliable. There have been many times where the pilots have told me they expect a decent ride, but the maps I see on this app suggest otherwise, and this app has been correct. In fairness, after almost 10 years on the job I understand that turbulence can be difficult to predict, sometimes the flight is smoother or bumpier than this app has me anticipate, but I sincerely believe the information you find here is as reliable as any information available anywhere. Highly recommend. **Developer response:** Thank you. I hope you're enjoying our new update which really supercharges the amount of information available to you. Thank you for keeping your passengers safe! ### 5/5 — Very Accurate *2022-11-08, version 1.5* I really enjoy this app…it’s very user-friendly and just “techie” enough to make me feel good. Lots of great options! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Portrait mode only *2023-05-13, version 2023.5.10* Who ever made the decision to lock the maps in portrait only mode should chose a new career. I have deleted the app and moved tother turbulence and weather forecast apps. ### 1/5 — DOSENt WORK *2023-02-13, version 1.5* idk ### 1/5 — No guide or help screen? What does pilot report numbers indicate? *2022-10-04, version 1.5* No sure how useful this is. No guidance or reference to understand readings ### 1/5 — Make it simple *2022-07-01, version 1.5* I should be able to put in a specific destination to see what I’ll be dealing with. Make it simple for people who don’t know what some of those abbreviations mean. ### 1/5 — Awful *2020-03-01* Useless app don’t buy this app ### 1/5 — Awful *2017-07-18, version 1.2* Terrible app. The newest update ruined a decent app. Difficult to understand & maneuver. ### 1/5 — Doesn't Work *2017-05-25, version 1.2* Terrible app. Stopped working. Will not update. Dead in the water. ### 1/5 — Does not include Europe *2015-05-22* Does not include Europe. ### 1/5 — New Region *2013-10-27* India is not covered in any region. Please add so as I would love to use the application. Also there should by flyers feedback for each flight ### 1/5 — Incomprehensible *2013-10-10* D/l to get an idea of turbulence between Sydney-Beijing. Doesn't cover mainland Asia and no legends or other description to explain how to interpret the data to a novice. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Peace of Mind *2026-08-03* 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. ### 5/5 — Helps Fight My Flight Anxiety *2026-03-05* 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! ### 5/5 — Highly Recommended *2026-01-22, version 2025.4* This app is incredibly accurate and lessens my fears of flying and the onset of turbulence. Highly recommend to those with a fear of flying or the casual flyer wanting to know how his flight will go. ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-09-30, version 2025.4* Don’t go on a trip with out using this app to check the level of turbulence… I’m a super frequent flyer and the app gives me peace of mind so I know what expect… ### 5/5 — My peace of mind *2025-08-28* As an extremely anxious flyer, this app has been a game changer. I've used it for about a year and found it consistently accurate. Knowing when to expect turbulence (and its intensity) has helped me manage the anxiety and feel more in control. If turbulence triggers your fear of flying, I highly recommend this app! ### 5/5 — Accurate and reliable *2025-05-05* This is a very useful and effective app. For anyone who flys with or is sensitive to turbulence, or if you just like to know what to expect, it is highly recommended! ### 5/5 — Brilliant app *2025-04-25, version 2025.2* Absolutely reliable ### 5/5 — Never travel without it *2025-04-11, version 2025.2* Always check to see what kind of ride I'm going to have. Best app for travel ### 5/5 — Best website for those who fear flying *2025-03-30, version 2025.2* Amazing app. Personalized service. Very well thought out and very easy to navigate. Would recommend to anyone who has a fear of flying!!! ### 5/5 — Wonderful app for nervous fliers *2024-12-02* The app keeps getting better and better! I love the new automated forecasts- they’re so detailed and accurate! I’m a fearful flier, and Peter and team have been an important part of my flying routine for years 😂 I highly recommend the app and forecasts! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
