- 📦SkyPocket updated to version 5.1.05.1.0 puts SkyPocket on your wrist.
SkyPocket for Apple Watch records your flight with the Watch's own GPS, alongside your iPhone or on its own. Start on either and the other joins in. After landing the two recordings join into one flight, and if either battery runs low, the other takes over.
On the wrist: ground speed, altitude, time left, a moving map with the route to your destination, and which side the sun is on. Hold to end, so a sleeve can't end a flight. Outside a flight, swipe down for live speed and altitude. Tap a reading to change units on either device. A complication on your watch face shows REC and the time while you fly.
On iPhone: a WATCH panel for the cockpit and an Apple Watch section in Settings.… more - 📈SkyPocket entered the top 10Top Paid · Navigation · CN

- 📦SkyPocket version 5.0.05.0.0 brings something to do on the long stretches, and honesty when the GPS goes.
An arcade of eight games in the flight deck's own style: Baggage Train, Taxiway Dash, Cloud Breaker, Cargo Hold, Hailstorm, Solitaire, Sudoku and Five Letters. Each saves where you leave it, plays full screen in flight with your speed and altitude still in view, and has its own sound. Hailstorm is MoM's game, ported with permission. Five Letters is English only for now.
GPS LOST mode: when the fix drops out over a jamming zone, the app says so, tries the window with you, and carries an honest estimate toward your destination for up to three hours, marked EST with a widening circle on the chart. A bundled map of known interference regions warns you on approach.
Two new map layers, GPS interference and the countries you have crossed, with a guide the first time the chart opens full screen. The World tab has moved into the Log. Larger Text now works on every screen. The Live Activity chips in Settings light up when tapped.… more - 🆕SkyPocket released on the App Store

Review momentum
ⓘ How we measure thisReview 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.

However, significant complaints arise regarding core functionality failures, such as inability to manually input flights or blank maps during active tracking.
Mixed but leaning positive (60% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). Recent reviews are more negative than earlier ones.
