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.

World Clock Time Zone Widgets's advantage is device support (4 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.4 vs 27.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
