About

FlyLive

Features
Read full description

FlyLive creates Live YouTube broadcasts that accept video streams from RTMP streaming devices, such as drones. Β Before taking off use FlyLive to open a live YouTube broadcast for the drone's stream, and share a link to watch the drone's live video. FlyLive requires that live RTMP streaming already be set up in YouTube Studio before you can use the app, and that your drone can stream live video to YouTube. Once YouTube is set up, FlyLive can open a new live broadcast with a single tap. A live broadcast link can be shared with iMessage or WhatsApp, and options are available to enter a broadcast title, latency, privacy and auto-stop settings. YouTube access is via Google Sign-in Authentication that asks for access to your YouTube account. No personal data is retained by FlyLive or transmitted out.

Should I Sail? answers the question every skipper asks before leaving the dock β€” and keeps watching the water after you do. Tap anywhere on the sea and get an instant, colour-coded verdict: Yes Β· Challenging Β· Requires Safety Gear Β· Only if You Must Β· No. The answer is tuned to your boat, so a 50-ft cruiser and a dinghy get different calls in the same conditions β€” and you can see exactly which factors drove the score. Free to download. Sign in free to unlock the full toolkit for a day at a time with Pro Days, then go Pro when you’re ready. MARINE WEATHER, ANYWHERE Hourly forecasts for any point of sea worldwide: wind and gusts, wave height and direction, swell, current, visibility and rain. Scrub through 24 hours and 9 days with everything updating instantly, and read directions at a glance on the compass-rose overlay. Set a condition alert on a departure and get notified if the forecast turns before you leave. PLAN ROUTE Drop waypoints, pick a departure time, and the app scores every leg, works out arrival times from your cruising speed and warns you if a leg crosses land. Save routes, revisit them, and share any route with a link so the crew can see the plan. DEPARTURE CHECKLIST (new) A skipper-grade pre-departure checklist built for your boat type β€” weather, documents, safety gear, engine, rig, deck, crew briefing and last look. Tick items off at the dock, add your own, reorder sections, and keep going with no signal: ticks sync when you’re back online. ON THE WATER Your boat pin follows live GPS with heading and real-time speed over ground. The OpenSeaMap nautical overlay adds depth contours, buoys and hazard markers right on the chart. TRACK RECORDING Record your sail in the background β€” it survives the app being closed or the phone sleeping. Finish to see distance, duration, average and top speed, then turn the track into a saved route in one tap. Recording stops automatically when you reach shore. ANCHOR WATCH Place the anchor, enter your chain length, and rest. The app pulls water depth from the GEBCO global database, calculates your safe swing radius and watches for drag continuously with the screen off. A full-screen alarm fires the moment you stray outside the zone. MY SPOTS Star the anchorages and launch points you return to and check them in a tap. MADE FOR EVERY CREW 16 languages including Hebrew and Arabic with full right-to-left layout. Large text, high-contrast and bold modes. Have a code from your sailing club or partner?
