For the love of flight. The registrations. The rare types. The window-seat moments. FlightDeck turns the aircraft you fly and spot into a personal collection of holographic cards. Build Your Fleet Keep a card for each aircraft, organized by manufacturer and family. Browse your collection, search by aircraft, airline, or tail number, and save the ones you love in Favorites. Make it Yours Photograph a plane or choose a photo from your library. Show the full photo or switch to a sticker cutout when available. Tilt your phone to catch the foil, turn a card over, or expand it for a closer look. Bring your Flight History Import your flight history to collect the aircraft you've flown. FlightDeck groups flights by tail number and merges new flights onto aircraft you already have. You can also add a flight manually. Look Beneath the Foil Explore aircraft facts, including wingspan, range, cruise speed, and first-flight year. Switch on Blacklight to reveal hidden markings, then share a rendered card from your collection. Made for the Window Seat From a favorite regional jet to an unforgettable long-haul flight, give every airframe a place in your collection.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: FlightDeck at none against Flight Board's shown. Flight Board's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
