Flights. Say it and it takes off.

A flight is a post. Words first, and they reach everyone who follows you the moment you post. Here's everything a flight can do.

Free on iPhone, iPad and Mac. On Android? Install it from the web.

The FLY(er) composer with a poll, and the article editor

A flight is a post.

Type what's on your mind and tap Post flight. It lands on the radar of everyone who follows you, live, in the order it was posted. On a public account, anyone can find it. On a private account, only the followers you approve can see it.

Every flight gets its own short share link and a designed preview card, so it looks right wherever you paste it.

This is the energy we needed today.

@NOVA
Studio tonight. New one drops Friday. Who's ready? 👑

Polls, threads and photos.

Ask with a poll and watch the votes come in. Say more with a thread: a run of flights that read in order. Image flights are a perk for Flyers with 10,000 points and for verified accounts, and every image is checked before it reaches anyone's radar. Describe your photos with alt text so everyone can enjoy them.

ReFlights and quote flights.

A ReFlight sends someone's flight to everyone who follows you. Want to add your take? Quote it, and your words sit on top with theirs underneath. Anyone can see who ReFlighted a flight.

Replies, your way.

Decide who can reply to each flight, hide the replies you don't want under it, and sort a conversation the way you like. Replies can be liked too, so the best answer rises.

Undo, edit, draft, schedule.

Posted too fast? You get five seconds to undo. Spotted a typo later? Edit the flight. Not ready? Keep it as a draft. Want it out at the perfect moment? Schedule it, and it posts itself.

Styled words and translate.

Styled words let your flight stand out with bold looks, unlocked at 10,000 points. And any flight in any language can be translated with a tap, right where it sits.

Views, saves and hashtags.

Every flight shows how many times it's been seen, and your own analytics show daily views and who followed you. Save flights into folders to come back to. Fifty popular hashtags, from #NewMusic and #OutNow to #Birthday and #TBT, get their own little icon, and seasonal ones like #Halloween and #Christmas appear when it's time.

Good to know

The little things.

The details most people only find by accident.

Pin one to the top

Pin your best flight to the top of your profile. One at a time, so it means something.

Your city, only if you want it

A flight can show the city you set in Settings. FLY(er) never detects your location, and there's no default.

Press and hold

In the app, press and hold any flight for a preview with Reply, Like, ReFlight, Save, Share and Copy link.

Links are checked first

A link in a flight is checked for malware and adult sites before it posts. If it can't be checked, your flight waits in the composer.
