Features & Capabilities

SOAR – established in 1982 - has opened up the world to 10,000 fearful fliers. This program is now available as an app created by the leading authority on flight phobia: author, airline captain and licensed therapist Tom Bunn, M.S.W., L.C.S.W.

Other approaches offer partial answers. SOAR provides a complete answer - even for extreme cases - by controlling panic, claustrophobia, and anxiety automatically.

App Features

• The G-Force meter proves - in turbulence - that there is no threat to the plane. • Get immediate access to weather information and turbulence forecasts. • Become an expert in how flying works and how safety is maintained. • Know how back-up systems - and back-ups to the back-up - are activated if needed. • Learn about safety systems that prevent pilot error. • Download "Take Me Along" and let Capt. Bunn coach you step-by-step through the flight.

Why no panic button?

The panic button on other apps is nothing more than a recorded message. With SOAR, no panic button is needed. SOAR is uniquely effective. It allows anxious fliers to fly as others do by controlling panic, as well as claustrophobia and anxiety, automatically.

Why no hypnosis?

Hypnosis is an inadequate answer. Like relaxation exercises, hypnosis can help you achieve a relaxed state in a quiet, secure, and comfortable environment. It cannot produce or maintain that state in flight, which is a completely different environment.

What Others Say About This Program

I've been home for a week; I still feel a profound sense of personal power---a feeling of competence. I feel more centered. I keep waiting for this feeling to disappear but thank God, it hasn't. I don't really understand the internal psychological process that your SOAR course affected within me; however, I know it happened. I feel almost as good and comfortable about flying as I did prior to my fear of flying days. And if this could happen to me, I know the SOAR course can work for anyone.

Until I had taken SOAR I absolutely did not travel by airplane or step into an elevator because of being confined to small areas and the feeling of being trapped as well as the fear of not being safe. Now I don't even think twice about it! The course absolutely works. . . . Thanks for the enlightenment. Boldly going where I've never gone before!

===

Your course has been wonderful so far! It is so easy to follow and understand. I actually am looking forward to flying in two days! Thank you so much for SOAR - I'm glad I've discovered it!

There are no words to describe the impact. I cried, laughed, and sometimes my mouth just gaped open at hearing such new, concrete information about fear and fear management. Some of this information has affected all aspects of my life. Sound dramatic? It has been.

Unbelievable. Unforgettable. And impossible had it not been for SOAR. I only wish I had found you sooner. I was given your name by a client who took your course to help his occupation as a rock-n-roll tour manager. I said if it can help him, why not give it a shot? Many thanks for my new life.

===

Two years of psychotherapy couldn't get me into the air, but SOAR did. Your course has helped me acquire renewed personal confidence and pride.

User Reviews

Users broadly praise SOAR for fear relief via the G-force meter, turbulence data, and a well-structured program. Repeated downsides are technical access issues—content not scrolling past the first page, audio problems, and failed video downloads—along with concerns about the high cost of courses. Overall, the app is valued for its approach but needs bug fixes and more reliable media delivery.
Pros
  • G-force meter and turbulence information are highly valued for real-time anxiety management.
  • Well-organized, easy-to-use interface that works on iPhone and iPad.
  • Program content (articles, videos) is effective and many users report real-life relief.
  • Videos and resources provide calming support that complements other therapies.
  • Overall professional presentation and utility for users and therapists.
Cons
  • Content often won't scroll beyond the first page due to navigation issues.
  • Media playback problems: some users report no sound in video content after purchase.
  • Download and content delivery failures: videos won't download or play.
  • Course pricing is seen as expensive with perceived low value by some users.

I suggest taking flying advice from someone who is mentally stable and not the creator of this app. Just read his Substack, he shows how mentally unstable he is by becoming totally unhinged on politics. If he can’t keep it together over that, who would think that he could help you overcome your fear? He clearly lives in a make believe fear himself.

For those having an issue scrolling through all the content, the workaround is to select the text and scroll your finger down to highlight all the content. Double tap or hold down on the first word so it gets highlighted, then use the indicator circles that show up to drag and highlight the rest of the text. You can then copy the text and paste into notepad. Just a tip.

I had this app several years ago, and it has changed. You used to be able to read the topics. Now you just get the first page and can’t scroll any further. Don’t bother paying, but it’s still good to use the G force meter to see how little shake is really happening in the plane. Last time I used this app I drove over some train tracks with it recording during my drive and WOW. That made a huge difference to my perception of turbulence movement.
