That plane overhead? Now you know. PlaneLens turns your phone into a window on the sky. Point it up and see every aircraft around you rendered live on a beautiful sky dome — or flip to a classic radar scope that rotates with your compass, so north on screen is always real north. TAP ANY PLANE FOR ITS FULL STORY Airline, flight number, and the radio callsign pilots actually use. A photo of the exact airframe. Departure and arrival boards with estimated times in each airport's local time. Altitude with real-world context, speed in mph, estimated Mach, heading, and how close it will pass to you. Even what its transponder code means in plain English. A RADAR SCOPE IN YOUR POCKET Live blips riding real trajectories, a rotating sweep, range rings out to 100 miles, and doppler precipitation so you can watch flights thread the weather. CATCH FLYOVERS, BUILD YOUR COLLECTION Planes that pass directly overhead land in your logbook automatically. Share spotting cards, watch your plane catalog light up with every type currently in your sky, and put live overhead traffic on your home screen with the PlaneLens widget. FREE TO USE.
