TruAirspeed is a True Airspeed Calculator for the iPhone and iPad. It's a bit different from other true airspeed calculators, in which the pressure altitude is an input. This requires resetting the altimeter to the standard sea level pressure of 29.92"Hg to read the pressure altitude. With TruAirspeed, you input the indicated altitude and the Kollsman window's pressure setting — the app then calculates the pressure altitude, density altitude, true airspeed and mach number for you. The calculations involved take full account of compressibility effects, but not shock waves, so it's limited to subsonic, non-transonic flight only. You have a choice of units for inputs and results, and you may choose either a calculator-style keypad (top row: 7-8-9) or a telephone-style keypad (top row: 1-2-3). You may also set a correction factor for your bird's airspeed indicator/pitot-static system, if you know it (mine is 0.95).

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Coflyt at every 2 months against TruAirspeed's every 24 months. Coflyt also leads on ratings volume (54 vs 8) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). TruAirspeed's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 42%) and monetization model (free vs freemium). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
TruAirspeed holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Coflyt has 54 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 71% of TruAirspeed's written reviews are positive against 42% of Coflyt's.
TruAirspeed ships an update every 24 months, Coflyt every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
