What's New in AirBear

2026.11.01

October 19, 2026

- Redesigned for iPhone, iPad and Mac. The map fills the screen, with camera controls in the corner and one dock for Traffic, Layers, Sources and More. Controls use Liquid Glass, and the map has dark and light styles that follow your appearance. - Clearer traffic. Aircraft are drawn as airplanes pointing the way they're heading, and APRS stations as dots. Callsign labels stay clear of other traffic and the controls. - Track card. Tap a track to see its altitude, speed, heading, distance and position. Follow keeps it centred as it moves, and a link opens it in FlightAware, ADS-B Exchange or aprs.fi. - Traffic list. Search, filter and sort live and inactive tracks. Choosing one shows it on the map. - Layers. Turn borders, roads, airports, labels, trails, inactive traffic and your location on or off, plus each source. - Sources replaces Connections. Feeds are grouped by receiver, each shows its connection status, and one editor adds a receiver over the network or Bluetooth. - Add Receiver lists the AirBear receivers on your network, so adding one takes a tap. - Mac: a Map menu with keyboard shortcuts. The mouse wheel zooms where you point and the trackpad pans.
