- 📦iFR Cockpit version 2.0.12.0.1 is a tuning release. Everything in it is about the instruments moving continuously rather than a sample at a time.
THE COMPASS STRIP TURNS SMOOTHLY
On the move the display shows ground track rather than heading, because a magnetometer surrounded by metal is not worth trusting. That track came straight from the GPS course — published once a second, in whole degrees — so the strip stepped a whole second of turning at a time, and the faster you turned the harder it jumped. The track is now carried on the gyroscope between fixes and each course is worked in gradually, so a turn sweeps instead of ticking.
THE SPEED TAPE STOPS WHEN YOU DO
Coming to a standstill, the tape used to keep counting down for a second or more after the vehicle had actually stopped. It now reaches zero as you stop.
SPEED COMES FROM THE ACCELEROMETER
Ground speed is now derived almost entirely from the accelerometer, with the satellite fix only trimming it rather than driving it. The reference the acceleration is measured against was rebuilt so that a long brake can no longer wash it out, and the mounting angle is recalibrated automatically every time you come to a standstill — so the tape is at its most accurate exactly where it used to be at its worst, in stop-and-go traffic.
DRAWN AT FULL REFRESH RATE
Both tapes and the compass strip are now drawn from the current model state at the display's own refresh rate, rather than only when a sensor reading happens to arrive.… more - 🆕iFR Cockpit released on the App Store

iFR Cockpit downloads
Worldwide, per day, and installs to date. The band is open; the exact number is free with an account.
How this is calculated
Apple publishes no download counts. App Store downloads come from chart positions and daily rating growth per country, calibrated on Google Play install counts; lifetime installs from ratings worldwide × installs per rating. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.
Active users
All platforms, worldwide. Free with an account.
Stickiness (DAU / MAU)
how many monthly users open it on a given day
How this is calculated
Monthly users come from lifetime installs across every store, fitted on monthly active user figures companies publish; daily users = monthly × the typical daily/monthly ratio for the category. Confidence is the chance the real number is within half to double ours.

Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
About iFR Cockpit
A primary flight display that runs on the device already in your flight bag.
IFR Cockpit turns the gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer and GPS in your iPhone or iPad into an attitude indicator, airspeed tape, altimeter, vertical speed indicator and compass, laid out the way a glass cockpit lays them out.
Version 2.0 is a complete rewrite of an app first published in 2008. It looks the way it always has. Everything behind it is new.
A HORIZON THAT STAYS HONEST IN A TURN
An accelerometer cannot tell gravity from centrifugal force. Every phone attitude indicator has to solve that, and most do not: roll into a coordinated turn and the horizon drifts back towards level while you are still banked.
Here the attitude comes from the gyroscope, and the acceleration of the turn itself is worked out of the reading using GPS ground speed. Bank into a turn and the horizon shows the bank you are actually flying. Accelerate down the runway and the nose stays where you put it.
A REAL ALTIMETER
Altitude comes from the barometer with your own altimeter setting applied, not from GPS height. Set it in inches or hectopascals, drop to standard 29.92 with one tap for the climb through the transition altitude, or match it to your GPS altitude. Negative altitudes read correctly, for fields below sea level and for standard pressure on a high day.
Devices without a barometer fall back to GPS altitude and say so on screen.
VERTICAL SPEED THAT ANSWERS IMMEDIATELY
Vertical acceleration is blended with the barometer, so the needle moves in a fraction of a second instead of lagging behind a once-a-second pressure reading, and it still cannot drift.
NOTHING TO SET UP
Down is simply where gravity points. Hold the device upright and the horizon is level. If your cradle holds it at an angle, fly straight and level and press TRIM once.
Landscape and portrait, iPhone and iPad. Turn the device in its holder and the horizon rolls with it without disturbing the pitch.
ON THE DISPLAY
• Attitude indicator with pitch ladder, bank scale and slip indicator
• Airspeed tape with the operating range arcs for your aeroplane
• Altimeter with rolling digits, altitude bug and a fine deviation scale
• Vertical speed indicator
• Compass ribbon with heading bug and rate of turn
• Six second trend vectors on speed and altitude
• Optional G load
• Classic and Glass colour schemes
• A live sensor page showing every raw value
V-SPEEDS FOR YOUR AEROPLANE
Presets for the Cessna 172, Piper PA-28, Diamond DA40, Cirrus SR22 and gliders, or enter your own stall, flap and never-exceed speeds and the arcs follow.
DEMO FLIGHT
Try everything without leaving the ground. The demo flies a circuit from the runway: take-off roll, climb out, a steep turn, and back down to land. It is a genuine flight model rather than an animation, so the instruments agree with each other. Roll into the steep turn and watch the load factor rise and the airspeed decay with it.
