About

Raylie

Features
Read full description

Every flight has a view. Raylie tells you what yours will be — and which side of the plane to sit on. Add a boarding pass and Raylie builds a timeline of the flight: sunrise over the Pacific, moonrise two hours in, the aurora belt off the left wing, a canyon passing below. Every event says when it happens and which window to look out of. WHAT IS WAITING OUTSIDE • Sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset, in the order you will see them • Left side or right side, so you know which seat to pick and where to look • Aurora, when your route crosses the belt • Landmarks and cities you pass over, with the time you reach them A REAL EARTH, NOT A MAP Raylie draws the planet as it is right now. Real cloud cover, the day-night line where it actually falls, city lights after dark, the aurora as it stands tonight. Your route arcs across it, and you can spin the globe to any point on your flight. YOUR FLIGHTS, KEPT • Add a flight from a boarding pass, Wallet, your calendar, a photo, a file, or a link • A Live Activity on the Lock Screen while you are in the air • Attach the photos you took, and every trip becomes a page worth coming back to DISCOVER Search for a place and find the flights that pass near it. See which airports are close to you, and what is flying overhead right now. No account needed. Open the app and try it with real demo flights and photos before you add one of your own.
