flightfog vs Mini Radar

flightfog shows air traffic on a live map. tap any aircraft to see its flight: route, altitude, speed, heading and the path it has flown so far. what you can do • follow aircraft on a dark or light map, with flight paths colored by altitude • open a flight for its airline, aircraft type, registration and route progress • replay a flight's path with playback controls • search flights, airports, airlines and aircraft • see departures and arrivals at airports • filter the map by aircraft type and altitude • turn on the weather radar layer • bookmark aircraft and see an in-app alert when a bookmarked aircraft is airborne • see an in-app alert when an aircraft on the map squawks an emergency code (7700, 7600, 7500) • use it on iPhone and iPad in 10 languages: english, turkish, german, french, spanish, italian, portuguese, japanese, chinese and arabic about the data aircraft positions come from ads-b and similar signals picked up by ground receivers. coverage depends on the region and on altitude, so some aircraft may be missing or shown with a delay. routes and schedules are estimates and can differ from the actual flight. flightfog is for information only: do not use it for navigation or for safety decisions. privacy no account, no sign-in, no ads in the app, no tracking. your settings and bookmarks stay on your device. details are in our privacy policy. flightfog is free. questions and feedback: flightfog.com/contact

Mini Radar shows the aircraft flying around you, live, on a clean radar scope. It's built on adsb.fi — a free, community-run ADS-B network. Volunteers around the world run small receivers and share what they pick up, and that shared feed is what you see. No account, no subscription, no ads. WHAT YOU GET • A live radar centered on you — or anywhere you search • Tap any aircraft for details: type, registration, altitude, speed, heading, squawk, and route (origin to destination) when available • Switch between a classic radar scope and a satellite map backdrop • Pinch, double-tap, or drag to zoom — from a few miles out to 250 NM • Color aircraft by type (commercial, private, helicopter, glider, military…) or by altitude, or switch on distinct per-type icons • North-up or heading-up — one tap on the compass button rotates the scope (radar or satellite) so the direction you're facing is up • A live contacts list and class filters, right on the scope • Sweep or pulse animation — your choice • A nearest-aircraft compass that always points to the closest plane POINT AT THE SKY • AR Sky View — hold up your phone and see the aircraft overhead, labeled in real space; pinch to zoom in ON YOUR WRIST • A standalone Apple Watch radar — zoom with the Digital Crown, tap a plane for details ALWAYS-ON GLANCE • Dynamic Island and Lock Screen tracking for what's overhead — your favorites, or any aircraft nearby, with a live bearing arrow FAVORITES & ALERTS • Star aircraft by tail number, callsign, or hex — they're highlighted whenever they appear nearby • Optional alert when a favorite comes within 10 NM of you (opt-in; uses background location only while it's turned on) SAVED PLACES • Save and name locations to jump between them • Choose what the radar opens to: your live location, the nearest airport, or a saved spot MADE TO READ EASILY • Colorblind-friendly palette • Light, dark, or automatic theme A NOTE ON COVERAGE Because the data comes from volunteer receivers, coverage is best where people are feeding and can have gaps elsewhere. Not every aircraft broadcasts ADS-B, and route lookups aren't available for every flight. Mini Radar is for curiosity and learning — not for navigation or any operational use. Want better coverage where you live? Anyone can become a feeder with a Raspberry Pi, an RTL-SDR dongle, and an antenna. There's a short how-to inside the app. Data by adsb.fi.
