About this app

This flight tracker displays live planes on a map. Like a radar, with real-time position updates and many flight status details. All of the features are available for free, which is uncommon enough to be highlighted : no subscription nor option to unlock by payment.

When selecting a plane you will have all the details :
- airline and flight number,
- flight origin and destination airports,
- departure and arrival time,
- aircraft type, including photos,
- altitude, speed and heading,
- 3D pilot view animation

The planes are displayed on the map with about ten different icons depending on the type of aircraft. Also including helicopters.

You can find plane for a given flight or with a given registration, using the very responsive search engine. Once selected you may add the flight to the list of favorites. This will enable you later to retrieve and swap from flight to flight in a very efficient way.

When opening settings, you can choose type of maps and units.

One of the feature we are the most proud of is the real-time 3D view of the ground. A bird-eye view as if you were in the plane : enjoy the landing!

You will appreciate the very responsiveness of this flight tracker app when panning and zooming around.

Permissions : we are concerned by your privacy. You will only be requested to grant location permission if you want to use the 'around me' feature. You may deny. Clean app, no other tricky permission out there.

I love the Air Traffic application and I can actually see a picture of the airplane types when you select the airplane icon on the radar map! The app indicates the speed, direction, flight number, destination (from and to) too. So, as an example: when an airline explains your pilots just took off from a flight in X city landing at your airport to operate the aircraft you booked, you can verify if it true by Air Traffic and know when they are going to be at your airport. Keep up the great work!

It's a really cool app to watch planes fly over and look over the horizon at night and see their farthest way point and see they are very far away when you can see them in the sky and on the phone. But I've decided to take the app off my phone because it's really annoying having it tell me in the screen to constantly to zoom in to see more planes. I don't need reminded over and over with the annoying thing going across my phone.

Generally an ok app. But, it doesn't pick up all flights over the area. It picks up more flights in & out of LAX. It doesn't track flights for BUR but once in a while & I know there is much more traffic than what this is picking up. This is because we are in its glidepath. It's ok to track the flights for the big airports like LAX. But, I'd like the see the traffic for the local, regional airport that affects my airspace .

What's new

Welcome on board, dear passengers and aviation enthusiasts!

For over 5 years we have been updating the Air Traffic app to give you an even better experience when exploring flights and their associated aircraft, and we continue to add new features. For example, the current version 20 has been expanded to include translations into Chinese and Korean after previously including cruise ships.

Bon Voyage!
