Supported devices

FlyMate is available for iPhone, iPad and Android; navigation requires suitable sensors.

The Apple version requires iOS or iPadOS 15.6 or later. Android compatibility is determined by the current Google Play listing for the device.

For iPad navigation and flight recording, use a Wi-Fi + Cellular model with built-in GPS. A Wi-Fi-only iPad has no built-in GPS. An iPhone hotspot supplies internet access but does not add GPS hardware.
