Read full description

OverheadView turns your iPhone into a live radar for the sky above you. See what is flying overhead in real time. Center the map on your location and watch nearby aircraft move across an interactive map, sourced from community ADS-B data. Tap any aircraft to see its callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and route when available. KEY FEATURES • Live aircraft radar — track nearby planes and helicopters in real time on an interactive map centered on your location. • Centered on you — the radar follows your location to surface the aircraft closest to you, wherever you are. • Flight details — tap any aircraft for its callsign, altitude, speed, heading, and route. • Flight search and follow — look up a specific flight and follow it with a predicted path. • Drone Remote ID — detect nearby drones broadcasting ASTM F3411 / OpenDroneID over Bluetooth, processed on your device (experimental). • Interactive map — pan and zoom a smooth, native Apple Map. • Privacy-minded — no account, no login. We do not collect names or emails to identify you, and we never sell your data. Whether you are a plane spotter, an aviation enthusiast, or simply curious about that aircraft you just heard overhead, OverheadView gives you a clear, up-to-date picture of nearby air traffic. Aircraft data is sourced from community ADS-B networks and may not reflect all air traffic. OverheadView is for informational and educational purposes only and is not intended for navigation or any safety-critical use.

Add a stay once. It keeps working. Share a booking confirmation and Stayed takes it from there: your nights counted, your status watched, the cancellation deadline in view before it costs you money, and afterwards a check of the points you log against what the stay was expected to earn. No account. No login. Your stays live on your phone and sync through your own private iCloud, which we cannot read. THE LEDGER Booked anywhere, filed the same. Every stay with its dates, rate and cancellation terms in one dated list, and a flag on the bookings that will not earn you anything. Bring bookings in however you have them: share from Mail, forward the email, paste the text, import a PDF, or let Stayed find them in your calendar. Every one shows you a draft before anything is kept. ON EVERY STAY Open a stay for the map, the check-in and check-out times, what the property has, and the forecast for the nights you will be there. Been before? Stayed says which visit this is, the room you had last time, and whether you said you would book again. THE LOYALTY WALLET Points lapse on a schedule your program rarely shows you: 12 months at IHG and Accor, 24 at Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt. Stayed works the date out from your own stays and warns you 90 days and 30 days ahead. Free nights and suite upgrades get their own notice. Status is counted in nights, so the wallet shows yours plainly: the nights you have slept, the nights already booked and how many more you need before the year resets. DID YOUR POINTS ARRIVE? After a stay, type in the points your program credited. Stayed says whether they land above, in line with, or below the range it estimated the stay would earn, and shows how it worked that out. If nothing arrived at all, Stayed gathers what the claim asks for: member number, hotel, dates, confirmation number. Copy it in one tap, then send it the way your program takes these. Four of them publish an online form and Stayed opens it for you; the rest take these by email or phone. Stayed never tells you that you are owed points. Loyalty math has too many moving parts for that. It tells you when a stay is worth a second look. THE PASSPORT Everywhere you have stayed on one globe, with stamps and totals for every year. 33 loyalty programs. 140 hotel brands. 9 booking sites. WHAT IS FREE Unlimited stays, the passport, and one loyalty program with every expiration warning. Your phone reads confirmations without limit; five cloud reads a month cover the ones it cannot manage on its own. No ads and no third-party trackers. STAYED PRO Reads every confirmation automatically with no monthly cap, tracks every loyalty program you carry, and adds points estimates, the points check after a stay, calendar sync, email sync, file import, photo matching and area guides, plus a concierge for the area around any stay: ask what is nearby, ask follow-up questions, and tap the places it suggests to open them in Maps. - Stayed Pro Yearly: 29.99 EUR per year, with a 3-day free trial - Stayed Pro Monthly: 3.99 EUR per month, no trial - Stayed Pro Lifetime: 79.99 EUR, a one-off purchase, no trial Prices are for the Spanish storefront. The App Store shows your own price before you buy. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
