## Honest limits
- Sorapuff's forecast is a likelihood computed from a free global weather model; pilots and dispatchers have richer data. It's a guide, not a promise.
- Sorapuff doesn't show live flight status, gates or delays.
- It's not a therapy program. If fear of flying limits your life, a course or a professional can help, and Sorapuff can sit beside that.

## FAQ
### Why is Sorapuff cheaper?
It has no servers to pay for: weather data is public and everything is computed on your phone. So it's priced once.

### Can I try it before paying?
Yes. The free version includes the bump meter, the tracker, breathing, the calm button and one full route forecast.
