Flight mode on. Everything works.
Your flight, from the inside.
SkyPocket turns your phone into a pocket cockpit: live speed, altitude and an offline atlas of the world below, all in flight mode. Take photos, film clips and write down the thought you had at 36,000 feet, each stamped with its moment in the sky. Brush up the language on the way in. Then turn the whole flight into a reel.

Eine Perle des AppStore Selbst wenn du nicht fliegst, bekommst du das CIA Worldbook, sogar neuerdings in deutsch. Großartig.

Simpatica Offre informazioni utili durante il volo, quando siamo totalmente disconnessi.

Blows my mind This app is amazing. With no internet, it somehow detects everything about the flight, including speed and altitude and it is very accurate. It also makes a beautiful reel of your trip at the end. And it’s free!!!

Great Idea! This app is an ingenious use of the data that iPhones can make available! I love the ability to have photos stamped. Great way to pass the time on a flight! The developer is very responsive to feedback and is constantly making improvements!

Wie genial..., ...ist das bitte umgesetzt? Super schlichte, moderne Oberfläche und mega nützlich unterwegs. Genau so muss eine gute App aussehen und funktionieren. Weiter so! Top 👍👍

Sehr gute App für Anfänger und Experten Ich habe mir die App soeben sehr skeptisch gekauft aber muss sagen ich bin sehr begeistert auch vom Aufbau und den Fuktionen

Easy way to see speed on train!! Not part of the original specification I think! Train ETAs not off the mark.

Have a go
See it fly
The cockpit, in flight
Every screen, photograph and clip from the app. Pick any one and it opens on the phone.
How is this possible
GPS only receives. Like a radio.
Your phone listens to satellites and never transmits, so flight mode does not switch it off. SkyPocket pairs that signal with the barometer and motion sensors, and packs the whole world map, the CIA World Factbook and every World Heritage Site inside the app. Nothing is sent, fetched or tracked.
Instruments
A glass cockpit for seat 23A.
Offline world atlas
Coastlines, mountains, rivers, 7,000 towns and 1,245 World Heritage Sites, all inside the app. Tap anything, mid-ocean.
Whole-flight recorder
Records with the phone locked, survives a force-quit, and lands in your logbook by itself.
Where to?
Pick a destination and the cabin's oldest question is answered: distance to go, time left, the local time you land.
Every flight, a story
Wheels up, top of climb, borders crossed, touchdown: a timeline built from the data alone.
Lock-screen live stats
Speed, altitude, distance and the country below, live on the lock screen while you doze.
The world, readable
The CIA World Factbook, bundled whole, split into the countries you have overflown and the ones you have not. Yet.
Before you board
Questions, answered.
How can it work in flight mode?
GPS is receive-only, like a radio. Your phone listens to satellites and never transmits, so flight mode does not turn it off. SkyPocket sends nothing anywhere: the map, the airports and the country facts are all packed inside the app.
Does it need an internet connection?
No. Everything works offline, mid-ocean included.
Does recording drain the battery?
It uses GPS the way a run tracker does. A long-haul flight typically costs a modest slice of battery, and the screen can stay locked the whole time.
Do I need a window seat?
It helps. GPS struggles through a metal fuselage, so near a window is best. If the signal drops, SkyPocket estimates your position honestly, marked in amber, until the fix returns.
What if I delete the app, or lose my phone?
Completed flights back themselves up to your iCloud automatically: reinstall the app and your logbook comes back down on its own, with no account beyond the iCloud you already have.
Can I post the reels anywhere?
Yes. A reel is an ordinary 9:16 video saved on your phone: TikTok, Reels, Stories, or the family group chat. Nothing uploads unless you share it.
