Can I cancel?
Yes, anytime. Your plan belongs to your Apple Account, so you cancel it there: on your iPhone or iPad, Settings → your name → Subscriptions. Cancel during the trial and you pay nothing.
Apple handles the payment and any refund. Skyward never sees your card.
Do I need the app?
Yes. Skyward is an app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch (iOS, iPadOS and watchOS 26 or later), and the trial and the plans are started in the app through the App Store.
The website is for your account and your logbook on a big screen. It works with a trial or a plan from the app; without one you can still sign in, export your logbook and delete your account.
Is it a certified or official briefing?
No. Skyward is for planning and ground reference. It is not certified, not for navigation, and not an official weather briefing. Use it alongside Flight Service, your certified charts and avionics, and your own judgment as pilot in command.
Why Sign in with Apple?
Skyward has no passwords. Apple confirms it’s you, and Skyward doesn’t ask Apple for your name or e-mail. Use the same Apple ID on the website and in the app, and your logbook, aircraft and flights are the same in both.
What happens to my data?
Your airports, aircraft, routes, minimums, flights and logbook are used only to serve you. No ads, no third-party tracking, no analytics on where you fly.
You can export everything at any time. Deleting your account, in the app or on the website, removes everything within the hour.
