You're at 35,000 feet, the Wi-Fi costs a fortune and the seat-back screen is off. Where are you right now, and when do you land? Flight Mode Map answers that with your phone's GPS, which keeps working in airplane mode. No Wi-Fi and no account needed. Open it once before you fly and it saves the world map for you. PICK WHERE YOU'RE LANDING Search more than 3,000 airports, even offline. The app draws the remaining great-circle route, counts down the distance left and shows your landing time in the destination's local time, with your own time underneath. YOUR FLIGHT, LIVE ON THE MAP • Ground speed, GPS altitude and heading on one clear card • Cabin altitude too, on iPhones with a barometer • Your plane on the map, with the path you've already flown • A "Landed" card with your arrival time when you touch down • A world map of countries and major cities, saved by itself the first time you open the app online • Light and dark map styles, km/h or mph, meters or feet ALWAYS ONE GLANCE AWAY • Home Screen, Lock Screen and StandBy widgets • Start a flight from Control Center, a Shortcut or Siri GO PRO FOR THE WINDOW-SEAT VIEW • Save a satellite map of your whole route, with 3D terrain, before takeoff • Know what you're flying over: the towns and airports below you, offline • Your landing time live on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island • More plane styles and alternate app icons Pro comes as a yearly subscription with a free trial for new subscribers, a monthly subscription, or a one-time Lifetime purchase.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Flight Metrics at none against Flight Mode Map's shown. Flight Metrics also leads on iOS requirement (15.1 vs 26.0). Flight Mode Map's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
