## What is Spotterra?

Global flight maps show you everything. Spotterra does one thing: it tells you what's worth walking outside for, right now.

Set the place you watch the sky from. Pick the aircraft that matter to you. Get an alert while the aircraft is still on its way - with enough lead time to actually get there.

WHAT YOU GET

- Live map of the aircraft over your location, updated continuously
- Alerts before an aircraft passes overhead, not after
- 13 aircraft categories - military transports, fighters, rare airliners, vintage, bizjets and more. You decide what counts.
- Special callsigns recognised automatically: Air Force One, NATO, RAF, HEMS, NASA
- Emergency squawks always come first
- A logbook that fills itself. Confirm a catch with one tap and watch your collection grow.
- Add your own photos to catches
- Airport guides for 101 airports: where to stand, which runway is active, when the light is good
- Sky lens - hold up your phone and see which aircraft you're looking at

Spotterra is free to use - no card required. Spotterra Pro is an optional subscription (details below).

Data from ADS-B receivers, including our own station. Aircraft positions come from the adsb.lol network under ODbL.

Made by a spotter in Czechia.

## Version history (last 4 releases)

### 1.3 — 2026-09-15

Watched flight on your Lock Screen, done properly.

• Live Activity now shows the full picture from the moment you start watching: route, cities, aircraft type and registration, departure time and a progress bar that ticks by itself.
• "Approaching" tells you what you actually need on the fence — distance, direction and altitude from live ADS-B, updated every minute.
• Estimated arrival even for flights with no published schedule (cargo and general aviation). Our own estimate is marked with ~ so you always know whose number you are looking at.
• Tap the card to open that exact aircraft on the map.
• Fixes: dead Live Activity tokens are cleaned up, and watched flights created hours ahead now keep their information fresh.

### 1.2 — 2026-09-01

Special liveries. Retro, anniversary and alliance liveries now stand
out on the map with a teal ring and the livery name right in the flight
detail. A new catalogue shows the full list and tracks which ones
you've already caught.

Airport watch now tells you whether an aircraft just took off or
landed. A departure you can still chase; an arrival you can't — and
until now the alert didn't say which one it was.

Spotterra Pro is now available as an In-App Purchase.

Also in this release: the photo transit screen shows your own location
name instead of the nearest airport region, and new accounts start over
Prague instead of an empty patch of sky.

### 1.1 — 2026-08-15

Sign in with Apple and Google, right inside the app - two taps to create an account or get back in.

Dynamic Island and Live Activity for watched flights: the countdown to arrival now sits on your Lock Screen.

Smaller fixes and improvements.

### 1.0 — 2026-08-12

No release notes.
