Flying Calmly

I don’t leave reviews often but when I do, it’s because my expectations were exceeded. I’ve been using this app for a month now and it’s accurate as much as can be expected. There was even some flight missing but I emailed customer support and received a prompt reply within 12 hours letting me know that the flight routes were added. It’s optional to provide monetary support, which I love, and I ended up supporting based on the app being amazing and the customer service that went above and beyond expectations. If you fly a lot or you are a nervous flyer, get this app.

I think that the one thing that the developers don’t take into consideration is the route the crew might take. When you enter your flight info, it basically gives you a forecast for a flight that’s in a straight line (which all flights never travel in) and an unknown altitude. I’ve had this app for a while, it can be a hit or miss in my opinion, this morning I took a flight from the Dominican Republic to New York, the app showed no turbulence. When I get on the flight, the captain comes on and warns of some turbulence over Turks and Caicos, so exactly as the captain stated, turbulence started over the Turks for about 45 minutes of non-stop chop. So like I said before, it can be a hit or miss because I’ve been on flights where the app shows turbulence and then there isn’t any, or it shows turbulence and there is. I can probably say that this app have an accuracy rate of about 70% or so, it kinda helps but like I said before, it needs to take other things into consideration, I know the developers are not going to get every flight plan in the world, but it would help it there was any other way of having more accuracy.

*update below* Was working well - I have paid for the long haul and ad removal. Now it no longer shows any information after the search, just shows a busy indicator - forever. The UI is messed up too, the colors are messed up in the calendar widget and you can’t see the dates being selected. Also the language switched to Spanish for some reason. I have tried to contact the developer via email with no response. Also have selected the support link here in the App Store but that just takes you right back to the App Store page. Update: several days after this the developer is pushed an update and seems to have fixed these issues.
