Mini Radar vs ARDAR

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. Route information by adsbdb.

Turn the sky into a live flight tracker. ARDAR is an AR flight radar and plane spotting app that places nearby aircraft directly over your camera view, so you can point your iPhone at the sky and see what is flying above you. Built for every plane spotter, aviation fan, traveler, and curious sky watcher, ARDAR makes air traffic feel visible, immediate, and real. Use ARDAR as an AR plane spotter, flight tracker, plane radar, and air traffic radar in one simple experience. See live nearby aircraft with callsigns, altitude, speed, heading, distance, route details, aircraft type, airline info, and more. Tap a plane in the sky to focus on it, follow its flight path, and stay flight aware without digging through a traditional map-first flight tracker. Whether you are plane spotting near an airport, watching arrivals and departures, tracking overhead flights from your backyard, or pairing the view with ATC or live ATC listening, ARDAR gives you a fast, visual way to understand the air traffic around you. Features: • AR aircraft labels over the real sky • Live nearby flight tracker data • Flight radar and plane radar views • Air traffic radar for local aircraft • Callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and distance • Route, origin, and destination details when available • Airline and aircraft identification • Flight path and trajectory visualization • Filters for focused plane spotting • Apple Watch companion map for nearby air traffic ARDAR is made for people who look up. Open the app, point at the sky, and know what is flying.
