About this app

This flight tracker displays live planes on a map. Like a radar, with real-time position updates and many flight status details. All of the features are available for free, which is uncommon enough to be highlighted : no subscription nor option to unlock by payment.

When selecting a plane you will have all the details :
- airline and flight number,
- flight origin and destination airports,
- departure and arrival time,
- aircraft type, including photos,
- altitude, speed and heading,
- 3D pilot view animation

The planes are displayed on the map with about ten different icons depending on the type of aircraft. Also including helicopters.

You can find plane for a given flight or with a given registration, using the very responsive search engine. Once selected you may add the flight to the list of favorites. This will enable you later to retrieve and swap from flight to flight in a very efficient way.

When opening settings, you can choose type of maps and units.

One of the feature we are the most proud of is the real-time 3D view of the ground. A bird-eye view as if you were in the plane : enjoy the landing!

You will appreciate the very responsiveness of this flight tracker app when panning and zooming around.

Permissions : we are concerned by your privacy. You will only be requested to grant location permission if you want to use the 'around me' feature. You may deny. Clean app, no other tricky permission out there.

Ratings and reviews

Great app to track virtually any flight. I like the real-time updates as well as the aircraft info. It's fun to find your favorite aircraft flying around along with the routes, flight number, altitude, and speed. As a commercial pilot myself, I like what they provide and find the information very useful.

Great app, providing visibility into all flights and their status. Unfortunately there are way too many commercial interruptions but I understand that's required to pay for the app. I'd even be willing to pay to remove those ads.

It's okay. But the info box for selected a/c is not responsive - ie, the speed, altitude etc do not dynamically change. Noticeable during take off and landing. EDIT: labels for UK air ambulances are incorrect - they are all listed as Scottish Air Ambulance - when they are clearly not! Has some military assets, and also limited selection of maritime vessels - typically cruise ships. 3D works well.
