About Flight App VALK
Flight App, courtesy of the VALK Foundation: Your in-flight therapist. No In-App purchases needed!
Never be alone with your fear of flying. The VALK Flight App will coach you through difficult flying moments. Whether it’s weeks or months prior to your journey, just before your flight, at the airport or on the airplane: with this App your in-flight therapist is with you all the way. The App provides you with facts, so your mind stops telling you the things that make you afraid, with exercises to reduce your stress level, handy tips and a special panic button option.
The app is based on scientifically researched methods of treatment as used by the VALK Foundation during their regular therapeutic training sessions.
The VALK Foundation has a 98% success rate and is a non-profit organization.
You can use the Flight App during the flight with your phone in airplane mode. Once the app is downloaded you do not need an Internet connection.
The main menu includes:
The Flight, The Facts, Relaxation Techniques, The Panic Button and Further Information.
The Flight
Here you find information and tips about what you can do before your trip, what happens during take-off, the cruise flight, turbulence and landing.
The Facts
Here you find amongst other things: facts about flying (a mini-aviation course), important statistics, information about the effects of fear, and tips for your well-being during the flight.
Relaxation Techniques
This part offers you a text and an audio version of a relaxation exercise.
The Panic Button
When you are very afraid, the panic button can help. By pushing the panic button you immediately activate an audio message and a therapist helps you to decrease your tension levels.

My money back but that option has passed. Is basic stuff that you can read on Google. I put music on and closed my eyes and was fine... A long time anxiety sufferer.

I have an extreme fear of flying on top of claustrophobia and panic disorder and this is the only app that helped me when i flew from riyadh to manila recently. Thanks for creating this. You are A+ in my book.

4 cities and 6 flights all in two weeks, this little app kept me at ease. Though I knew what turbulence was, being able to read an explanation over and over again, helped put me at ease. The whole app helped break things down for me. Am I over my fear of flying, no, but at least I am a better and calmer flyer then before, which is good for my husband, the poor person sitting next to me and the flight attendants.

After 5 years from developing the fear of flying, i have heard all the "reasons" to relax. It is wonderful and reassuring they can be located offline at your disposal while in air, or before. I am a week away from my flight and can already feel it soothing my nerves. I would say I'm a level 6 in a scale of 0 being not at all afraid, and 10 not even considering aviation as a means of transport. I will re post after my flight but as of yet, looks promising.

I found better information in a Google search. The app is very scarce on info. The verbal relax section did make me laugh so I suppose that distracted me from the flight. Too bad I missed the refund window.
