One small airplane. One route. $120,000 in the bank... That's how every aviation empire starts. Idle Flight Manager is a live-world airline management game where you draw routes on a real map, buy real aircraft, and watch your fleet grow from a single regional prop plane into a global operation of Boeing 747s and Airbus A380s. Earn revenue around the clock, even while you're offline. What you do: Tap airports to design multi-stop routes. Assign a plane and it begins flying the circuit immediately: carrying passengers, landing, turning around, and flying again. The map fills with glowing route lines as your airline expands. Revenue ticks up with every completed leg. Key features: - Live world map: real-time plane icons move along your routes on a global map that grows as you unlock regions. - 50+ real aircraft across 10 tiers. From ATR turboprops and Embraer regional jets to Boeing 777s, Airbus A380s, and exotic premium aircrafts. - 9 unlockable world regions. Expand from US domestic routes to international routes: Canada, Europe, Asia, Africa, and Oceania. - Make money while you sleep: flights complete and income accumulates offline; return to a fully loaded airline fleet! - Random events: crew strikes, tourism booms, fuel price drops, and government subsidies keep operations unpredictable - Reward drones: spot drone icons flying across the map and tap to collect bonus cash or miles! - Auto Flight Manager: assigns planes, creates routes, and re-optimizes your entire network automatically. - Daily used-plane market, 8 rotating listings at steep discounts or spot-buy a rival's plane directly off the live map. Progression and Fleet Management: - Level up by completing route circuits and unlock the next tier of aircraft. Manage plane condition carefully. Let it fall below 50% and revenue drops noticeably. Let it fall below 30% and costs stack heavily. - Set pricing per route to match your strategy. Economy fills every seat at lower fares. Luxury charges almost double per passenger but risks flying half-empty. - Build hub airports where multiple routes converge to earn a network revenue bonus. Take bank loans to fund bold expansion. Spend miles to unlock countries, each opening new airports and longer, more profitable routes. The aircraft catalog: - Start with regional turboprops on short domestic hops. Work through narrow-bodies like the Boeing 737 MAX and Airbus A320neo. Progress into wide-bodies such as the Boeing 787 Dreamliner and Airbus A330neo. - Finally unlock the legendary flagships: the 747-8, the A380plus, and rare premium aircraft for the most ambitious operators. Collect exclusive variants like the Stealth 787, the Golden A380, the Concorde Neo, and the Zero-G Orbiter. Your airline, always working: Over 150 NPC airlines populate the skies with ambient traffic. Speed boosts let you accelerate to 2x or 10x speed. Every 7 in-game days, a weekly report delivers claimable cash, miles, and route credits. Your fleet never stops, with or without you. Start your first flight. The world map is waiting.

Phones, watches, earbuds and beacons around you broadcast Bluetooth Low Energy signals. Wardrive Go logs them and plots each one on a live radar -- the closer a device, the closer it sits to the center. THE HUNT - A live radar sweep that maps every BLE device around you in real time - Color-coded contacts: Apple gear, named devices, and unknowns - Tap any blip for a full readout: signal strength, proximity, TX power, raw service UUIDs, how many times you've seen it, and more - Sort by signal, recency, frequency, or name; filter ALL / WI-FI / BLE - A live trip banner: new networks, in range, pace, distance, open networks, speed ADD WI-FI WITH WARDRIVEESP BOARDS OR A BISCUIT - Link an inexpensive ESP32 board running the free WardriveESP firmware (rocketgod.dev/WardriveESP) and Wardrive Go connects to it automatically, no pairing - Biscuit wardrivers (Ultra and Crumb) link by themselves too: their Wi-Fi and Bluetooth finds join your run - Run several boards at once: they split the Wi-Fi channels between them, and boards with 5 GHz cover 5 GHz - Turn one board into a Bluetooth scanner: it sees the real device addresses iOS keeps from apps, so those devices count when you upload - Update a board's firmware over Bluetooth with one tap - Wi-Fi access points stream into the same list as Bluetooth, with band, channel and security - Every run is logged as one WiGLE-compatible file with real GPS coordinates - A built-in console shows what your boards are doing UPLOAD AND CLIMB THE BOARDS - Add your WiGLE, WDGWars and/or Wardrift API key -- one tap uploads your run to every service you set up, and nothing is sent until you tap - WiGLE and WDGWars leaderboards and your upload history, right in the app - Game Center leaderboards for Lifetime Contacts and your Best Single Run, with achievements from your First Contact all the way to ten million KNOW WHAT'S AROUND YOU - Trackers (AirTag / Find My, Tile, SmartTag, Chipolo), cameras, body cams, drones, smart glasses, hidden-camera setup networks and other notable devices are named on sight, called out with a banner, and collected in their own list THE FIELD REPORT - A breakdown of everything you've ever logged - Drill into any category by maker, then tap any device for its complete detail - Export your current run to CSV, free 17 THEMES, ALL FREE Teal, Amber, Sonar Blue, Crimson, Toxic, Plasma, WiGLE, WDGWars, The Pirates' Plunder, WiGhoul, BBS, Pro, Pwnagotchi, DOOM, Pac-Man, Slate and Clarity. WARDRIVE GO PRO Everything above is free. A single unlock (no subscription) adds one thing: - Export your full history to CSV -- every device you've ever logged, with maker, type, best signal, services, and first and last seen PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything Wardrive Go hears is read and stored on your own device. Your numeric leaderboard score goes to Game Center; nothing else leaves your phone unless you add an API key and tap UPLOAD -- then only the run you chose goes to the services you picked. The phone's own radar sees only the randomized Bluetooth IDs iOS provides, so nothing there points to a person. Wardrive Go only reads the public advertisements devices already broadcast; the only things it ever connects to are your own WardriveESP boards and Biscuits. Note: "contacts" are signals logged, not unique devices -- phones rotate their Bluetooth ID for privacy, so the same one is often counted more than once. Requires Bluetooth. Location is used to tag your log with coordinates.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Wardrive Go at none against Idle Flight Manager's shown. Wardrive Go also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 66%) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). Idle Flight Manager's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 13) and chart position (#66 vs unranked). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
