## What is Overhead?

Overhead is a flight radar and a star map in one AR view. Hold up your iPhone and every aircraft overhead appears at its true position, next to the Sun, Moon, planets, stars and the International Space Station. Sky events list ISS passes, eclipses, meteor showers and aurora watches for where you stand, such as the Geminids on 13 December and the Quadrantids on 3 January.

Hold your iPhone up and the sky explains itself.

Every aircraft overhead appears in augmented reality at its true position, with its airline, type, destination and often a photo of the exact airframe. The Sun, the Moon at tonight's phase, the visible planets, 1,600 stars and their constellations, and the International Space Station share the same sky, all placed by on-device astronomy.

Overhead also predicts when a plane will cross the face of the Moon or Sun from exactly where you stand, and counts you down to the moment, shutter ready.

• A photographic Moon and Sun: built from NASA imagery, lit for tonight's phase and tilted the way they appear in your own sky.
• Clear-sky forecast: every dark hour scored for cloud, darkness and moonlight, with your best window to look up, and an optional heads-up before a clear evening.
• Live aircraft with routes and photos: when a flight is visibly landing somewhere other than its filed route says, Overhead tells you.
• Airport mode: pick any airport and fly over it in 3D, with every arrival and departure moving live.
• Favorites and Focus: follow one flight with a find-it arrow, in the Dynamic Island and on your Lock Screen.
• Sky sounds: every nearby plane becomes a 3D-positioned engine hum. Close your eyes and point at the sound. Best with AirPods.
• Sky events: solar and lunar eclipses computed for your location, meteor showers, full moons and solstices.
• ISS transit forecasts: Overhead works out, days ahead, the second the Space Station will cross the Sun or Moon from where you stand.
• Ask Siri: "What's flying over me?" or "Will it be clear tonight?"
• StandBy Moon clock for your nightstand. Apple Watch shows your next ISS pass.
• Dark-sky mode: the full star map with the camera off, kind to your battery and your night vision.
• Learn to Spot: an illustrated guide under Profile to 47 aircraft types, by nose, wings, tail and engines. Tick them off when you see them and earn rare-plane medals.

Overhead Pro: yearly, monthly or lifetime
Overhead is free to download. Overhead Pro adds:
• Time Machine: set the whole sky to any date within a year. Stand under next month's eclipse tonight.

Choose yearly (7-day free trial), monthly (3-day free trial) or a one-time lifetime purchase. Yearly and monthly renew automatically until you cancel in your Apple Account settings. Pro is shared through Family Sharing, and purchases can be restored from the Overhead Pro page.
