Scan your boarding pass, tap Start, and your iPhone's own sensors record the flight from takeoff to landing. Your flight record is not copied from third-party flight data. It holds only what your GPS, barometer and motion sensors actually measured. It is a record that you were there. ■ Recording · Scan the boarding pass barcode to fill in flight number, route and seat · Or share a booking confirmation email to add the boarding pass · One sample per second, takeoff to landing · Altitude, ground speed, G-force, cabin pressure altitude · Automatic phases: taxi, takeoff, cruise, landing, taxi · Keeps recording with the screen off or another app open ■ Before you fly, after you arrive · Home shows your next flight with its route map and a to-the-second countdown · Flight briefing: your aircraft, gate, and weather at the destination · Arrival guide: baggage belt, arrival gate, immigration hall, and where to catch your rideshare (some details aren't available at every airport) ■ After you land · Measured takeoff and touchdown times, and time airborne · Peak altitude, speed and G-force · Your actual GPS track on a map · Takeoff and landing runway identification · Arrival airport stats and carbon footprint ■ Logbook · Your flights add up into a personal aviation logbook · Keeps the aircraft you flew (type, registration, photo), seat and gate · Search by flight number or route · Import past flights from another app's CSV, and export all your flights as CSV ■ Records: collections and habits · Airlines and alliances, airports and runways, countries, and every aircraft you've flown become collections · Aircraft details: photo, specs, registration history, and your flights on it · Cabin pressure profile and personal records · Your seat habits, on-time rate, and a year in review that opens each December ■ Your data stays yours · Raw GPS coordinates stay on this device and in your own iCloud. They are never sent to our server · Only your boarding passes and flight summaries (flight number, times, peak values) are backed up · Email import sends only the text of the email you share, to read the flight details · Delete everything, or your whole account, at any time ■ About GPS in the cabin Reception depends heavily on where you sit. In our own measurements, window seats recorded 95-100% of the flight while non-window seats managed 14-53%. Sitting by a window and keeping your phone near it makes a large difference. A gap in the GPS track is not a failed recording. Altitude, G-force and flight phases keep recording from the barometer and motion sensors. ■ BUSINESS · Offline route maps so you can follow the route with no internet in the air · A full PDF of each flight record, and watermark-free share cards · See where the aircraft you flew is flying today · An aircraft's full registration history, and on-time rates by airline · A single-flight pass is available if you would rather not subscribe Available in English, Korean and Japanese.

Verdict

The call
