## What is JetTip?

Our smart flight alerts have helped aviation enthusiasts spot thousands of cool aircraft.

Our avgeek analytics keep tabs on unusual aircraft. When an interesting flight is scheduled to arrive or depart, subscribers get a notification.

JetTip tracks diversions, special liveries, retro jets, charters, testbeds, and more. We keep track of the cool stuff for you.

In addition to alertable aircraft, JetTip's filterable arrival/departure boards show regular traffic with enthusiast cred, so you can plan your spotting at a glance.

Two tiers of smart flight alerts are issued depending on the number of visits in the last 30 days - high priority for the first two; low for the third and fourth. We also offer two types of unique diversion alerts.

### 3/5 — Too many false alerts.

*2026-07-05*

Too often I find myself getting notifications for flights that are several hours old, already passed, aren't actually diverting, or liveries that have been tail swapped. The notifications you do get seem to be hit or miss on if they're real or not.

### 3/5 — One MAJOR Flaw

*2024-10-08*

I would normally give this app a 5-star rating as I have been very pleased with it.  However, there is one MAJOR flaw knocks it down to a 3-star rating. On the numerous times that I have attempted to launch the app in an area with weak WiFi or in other cases, no internet connection whatsoever, I am greeted with a blank white screen. No way out, no “X-ing” out, no refresh, nothing but an annoying White Screen. While I can use other apps on my iPad or iPhone, Jet Tip is useless. The only way of resolving this is to reboot my device (which I find annoying and unacceptable). For instance, this morning unbeknownst to me, my WiFi was down, I clicked on the Jet Tip app, and ‘viola’ a blank white screen of death, I was forced to reboot as I had to use my iPhone Hotspot to get online. Please address and fix this frustrating annoyance. I have been meaning to bring this issue to your attention and to other users for over a year now. Otherwise I love this app, but at $5 a month, I expect a fully functional app.

### 5/5 — Jettip rocks

*2024-09-23*

I’ve wanted a service like this for years and stumbled upon it back when it was a text message based solution. Now the app makes it that much better and it keeps improving. The owner is super responsive to feedback too, which is nice.

### 2/5 — Could be better

*2023-06-17*

Was disappointed that only select airports are supported within the app.

### 5/5 — Awesome New App, a must for planespotters!

*2021-12-01*

I am so happy to see that JetTip has a new app available for us! So far, so good! If you are an aviation enthusiast or a plane spotter, this app is a must! JetTip is a great way to be alerted to all of the special airplane liveries that arrive at your local airport. Check it out!

### 5/5 — JetTip makes my planespotting trips worthwhile

*2021-11-30*

It’s an hour drive to the airport for me, so good weather and free time isn’t always enough of an incentive.  But a quick glance at JetTip or a timely alert lets me know if my trip will be worthwhile by catching that rare visitor or special livery.  Happy subscriber and even happier to now have an app. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Jettip rocks

*2021-11-24, version 0.10.15*

Long time Jettip subscriber here. Super excited to see the service take a leap into the app space. This will be way more convenient while out on PlaneSpotting trips

### 5/5 — Two Year Subscriber with new app!

*2021-11-24*

Great service for tracking flights at my local airport! Glad to see they have an app available for even faster alerts rather than using text messages. This will make spotting even better when I am out!
