SkyPocket
John M Mckay
SkyPocket is a simple app for anyone who flies, and it works entirely in flight mode with no ads, sign ups, user analytics or in-app purchases. Buy it once and it's yours for life. A window seat is recommended for the best results.
The Aviation Nerd:
• Live ground speed, altitude, track and vertical speed on cockpit-style tapes
• An offline moving map with coastlines packed inside the app. Mid-ocean included
• Cabin pressure altitude from the barometer: watch the cabin climb to 7,000 ft on its own schedule
• Turbulence, g-force and bank angle from the motion sensors
• The country below you, its local time and a fact to read as you cross it
• The sun's position, so you know which side of the plane to sit on
• 41,000 named peaks and 3,000 lakes on the chart, with a layer panel to tune what you see
• Pick a destination for distance to go, live ETA and your arrival time
• Share a flight card, or export CSV and GPX
• Replay flies the whole route in thirty seconds, numbers ticking as it goes
The Nervous Flyer:
• Tell SkyPocket what you're flying, or let it work it out with you: seats across, engines, windows, even the A320's famous barking dog
• Every phase explained as it happens, with your aircraft's own numbers: takeoff roll, gear up, the sudden quiet a minute after takeoff, cruise at its usual Mach
• Two dozen cabin sounds decoded, and the ones nervous flyers ask about wear a calm NORMAL badge
• 65 aircraft with the numbers, spotting clues and trivia that make them themselves, from the A220 to the Queen of the Skies
The Storyteller:
• Photos stamped with your speed, altitude and position; clips with a live stats marquee
• Flight notes: a thought at 36,000 feet, saved with the moment it happened
• Turn the flight into a 9:16 reel: route, records, shots, clips and notes, in the order they happened. You pick every ingredient
• In flight, the tab bar becomes a flight deck: photo, clip, note, one thumb
The Globetrotter:
• Flights name themselves from 4,000 airports: BFS to BCN, not just a date
• A logbook counts your lifetime flights, hours airborne and kilometres flown
• A ten-language phrasebook, spoken aloud, with a sentence builder and the answers to listen for
Record the whole flight:
Tap once before takeoff. SkyPocket keeps recording with your phone locked in your pocket, shows live stats on the lock screen, and detects the landing by itself. Force-quit, crash, dead battery: your flight survives and offers to resume.
In your language:
English, Arabic, Japanese, Italian, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Chinese in both scripts, Korean, Ukrainian, Russian, Hebrew and Polish: the whole app and the whole bundled World Factbook, so all 238 countries can be read about in your language while you fly over them.
