What is flying over your home? Which ship is passing along the coast? Utkik brings sky and sea together on one living map, making it easy to explore the traffic around you or somewhere far away. Tap an aircraft or ship to get to know it better. See where it is heading, how fast it is moving, and other available information. Search for a particular flight, discover unusual aircraft, or find what is closest to you. When you want to look up, Spotter helps you see what is nearby. With AR, you can point your camera at the sky and identify aircraft passing overhead. You can also follow favorites and see their trails on the map. Utkik goes beyond the app. Place a chosen map view on your Home Screen with the widget. Utkik requires no account and contains no advertising. The app is available in Swedish and English. Live data comes from third-party services that Utkik does not control. They may change, limit or stop providing data at any time. Traffic data may be delayed, incomplete, or inaccurate. Utkik is intended for discovery and enjoyment and must not be used as the sole source for navigation, emergencies, or safety decisions.

Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Hackney at 79% against Utkik's 50%. Hackney also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (134 vs 4). Utkik's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.8). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Hackney sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Utkik sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Utkik holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Hackney has 134 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of Hackney's written reviews are positive against 50% of Utkik's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Hackney ships an update every 5 days, Utkik weekly. Both last shipped on October 25, 2026.
