In short

RotateFly shows the odds that a flight leaves within one hour and within three hours, plus its cancellation risk, updated as often as every 10 minutes in the 12 hours before departure. It is for travelers who want early warning of delays, with reasons such as inbound aircraft lateness, FAA ground stops, and weather. One standout feature is that each flight shows why its odds changed, drawing on FAA data and U.S. DOT on-time history.

About

Know whether your flight is actually leaving.

RotateFly gives you the odds your flight departs within the hour, repriced through the day and as often as every 10 minutes in the 12 hours before departure. When those odds hold steady, you can stop refreshing. When they start slipping, you see it developing rather than finding out at the gate.

Most days the answer is reassuring. Some days it isn't — the inbound aircraft is running late, the FAA has put a ground delay program in place at your origin, weather is turning, and cancellation risk is climbing off its usual floor. Those are the mornings when an hour of warning is worth real money: rebook while seats are still available, or leave for the airport later instead of spending the afternoon at the gate.

THREE NUMBERS, ONE GLANCE • Leaves within 1 hour — the headline, and the one that decides your morning • Leaves within 3 hours — how bad a bad day is likely to get • Cancellation risk — low most of the time, and impossible to miss when it isn't

WHY IT MOVED Every flight you unlock shows the reasoning behind its odds: where the inbound aircraft is right now, FAA ground stops and delay programs, weather at the origin, the airline's own posted status, and U.S. DOT on-time history for that route, airline and departure hour, or a broader average where DOT has too little data (as for flights leaving outside the U.S.). You can see what changed and when — so you are judging an argument, not trusting a number.

ALERTS THAT SAY WHY For a flight you track, you hear when its odds move — with the reason when we know it, such as a storm in your departure window or a late inbound aircraft — and when its status changes: delayed, boarding, departed or cancelled, and diverted while its Live Activity is running.

FROM GATE TO BAGGAGE CLAIM • A Live Activity on your Lock Screen (and in the Dynamic Island on iPhones that have one), counting down to takeoff and following the flight toward landing • Live position, altitude and progress once airborne • Arrival terminal and baggage claim on landing • A timeline of how the odds moved across the day

PRICING • Looking up a flight is free and shows its route and scheduled departure time. If a lookup fails or finds no flight, nothing is used. Adding a cancelled flight is free. • Unlocking a flight shows its odds and tracks it: the list, the alerts and the Live Activity above. Your first two flights are free. • After that, unlock one flight at a time with a one-time purchase (US$1.99 plus tax in the United States), or subscribe to Rotate Pro (US$2.99 a month plus tax in the United States), which unlocks every flight while it is active. The app shows the price in your currency before you buy. • Each flight is unlocked once: removing it and adding it back never charges again. A one-flight purchase you haven't used waits for your next flight and never expires. Flights added to your list while you subscribe stay unlocked if Rotate Pro ends. • Free flights and one-flight purchases are kept on your iPhone: they are normally kept if you delete and reinstall the app, but do not move to a new phone. Rotate Pro belongs to your Apple Account — on a new phone, tap Restore. • Rotate Pro is a monthly subscription that renews automatically until cancelled. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Manage or cancel any time in Settings > [your name] > Subscriptions.

No account. No sign-up. Just a flight number and a date.
