About

FlyETA

Follow your flight. Keep the journey. FlyETA shows your altitude, ground speed and flown route from your phone's own satellite receiver, over an offline map with terrain. Save the flight and replay it after landing. NO CABIN WI-FI NEEDED Maps and terrain are already on your phone. Follow your flight in airplane mode, wherever satellite reception allows. A LITTLE CLOSER TO THE VIEW - GPS altitude, ground speed, vertical speed and track - ETA, time remaining, distance flown and distance to go - Flight phase: taxi, climb, cruise, descent - Cabin pressure altitude and a turbulence reading - The country and nearest town passing beneath your window YOUR JOURNEY STAYS YOURS No account, no analytics, no flight uploads. Recordings stay on your phone as readable JSON files you can open in the Files app, and you can replay any of them at 1x, 4x, 16x or 60x. HOW TO USE IT 1. Set your route. Look up your flight number before boarding, or choose both airports by hand to stay offline. 2. Check location at the gate. Tap Continue at the location step and choose when iOS asks. Then get a satellite fix before takeoff. In the cabin, keep the phone near a window. 3. Track, then record. Start tracking to see your flight. Tap the red record button to save it, and stop after landing to see your summary. HONEST ABOUT WHAT IT CAN SEE Every number is measured by your phone, not read from the aircraft. Reception varies with your phone, aircraft and seat; a window seat gives the phone a better view of the sky. Where a value is unknown FlyETA shows "--" instead of a guess. Flight-number lookup contacts online services during setup; skip it and pick the airports yourself to send nothing. Requires precise location and a satellite receiver: iPhone and cellular iPad with iOS 15 or newer. Wi-Fi-only iPads have no receiver and are not supported.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FlyETA at none against Flight Tracker's shown. Flight Tracker's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
