PlaneTrack turns the sky above you into something you can read, watch and share. Tens of thousands of flights move in real time on a beautiful dark map, powered by our own global ADS-B receiver network and enriched with official FAA data. POINT AT THE SKY See a plane overhead? Open Sky Pointer, aim your phone at it, and PlaneTrack tells you the flight, type, altitude, speed and destination. Then press the shutter: your Sky Shot comes out with the flight details, compass and mini map burned in, ready to share. THE FEED A community feed of Sky Shots from spotters everywhere, aircraft stories, and replay videos of the day's most interesting flights. React, comment, share, follow other spotters, and filter to exactly what you care about: emergencies, diversions, rare aircraft. THE TIME MACHINE Rewind the whole sky. Replay any moment, or watch curated replays of emergencies, diversions and rare visitors with a cinematic follow camera locked on the aircraft. Free covers 30 days; Premium rewinds 400. LIVE MAP Real-time positions with altitude, speed or type coloring. Helicopters, ground vehicles, even high-altitude balloons drawn with their own icons. Oceanic flights estimated beyond radar coverage. KNOW EVERY FLIGHT Tap any aircraft for its route, live progress, full flown track, aircraft photo, schedule with delays, and complete history. Search flight numbers the way you know them (AS2240 finds the flight, not just the radio callsign). DISCOVER A live watchlist of emergencies, diversions and rare aircraft, plus aircraft stories, the US Delay Radar and rankings.
