How much radiation did your last flight expose you to? Find out... FlightDose is a scientific aviation tool for estimating exposure to cosmic radiation during flight, based on established aerospace radiation modeling principles. At its core, FlightDose leverages methodologies derived from CARI-7, a widely recognized aviation radiation dose model developed for analyzing radiation exposure at altitude. By combining route geometry with altitude, latitude, geomagnetic shielding, and solar conditions, FlightDose provides informed estimates of in-flight radiation dose in a clear, modern interface. Cosmic radiation increases rapidly at cruising altitudes and varies significantly by latitude and flight path. FlightDose makes this invisible environmental factor understandable using real aviation physics and data-driven calculations. What FlightDose does • Estimates in-flight radiation dose using CARI-7–based modeling concepts • Accounts for altitude, geographic position, and Earth’s magnetic field • Supports route-based and flight-based dose estimation • Presents results clearly without unnecessary complexity Who it’s for • Pilots and aircrew • Frequent flyers • Aviation professionals and students • Engineers, researchers, and science-focused travelers • Anyone curious about estimating radiation dose during flights Important information FlightDose is provided for informational and educational purposes only.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Acrobid Watch at none against FlightDose's 1. FlightDose's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1) and device support. On price, rating, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. FlightDose sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Acrobid Watch asks for nothing beyond the download.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for FlightDose against 5.0 for Acrobid Watch. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FlightDose has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
