Flight Tracker

Q: Does it show weather as well as traffic?

Yes — live weather radar renders on the same map as the aircraft, so you can watch flights route around storms in real time. Hazard layers for turbulence, thunderstorms, icing, and IFR conditions can be toggled on and off, and Premium adds aviation overlays including airspace, AIRMETs, SIGMETs, winds aloft, and TFRs.

Q: Can I look up departures and arrivals for an airport?

Yes. Live departure and arrival boards show scheduled times, airlines, destinations, gates, and status — on time, boarding, final call, delayed, or cancelled. Filter the board by terminal or airline, and tap any flight on it to follow that aircraft on the map.

Q: Is Flight Tracker free?

The free tier is ad-supported with no time limit — live air traffic, weather radar, airport boards, and full flight detail are all included. A Premium subscription removes ads and unlocks the aviation weather overlays, with a free trial available in-app.

Q: Do I need any hardware to use it?

No. Flight Tracker needs no receiver, antenna, or accessory of any kind — position data is aggregated from the FAA and other global data providers and streamed to the app. All you need is the phone or tablet you already own.

Live traffic and weather radar, on one map.

Watch thousands of aircraft move in real time, with live weather radar and hazard areas rendered on the same map. Follow any flight from pushback to touchdown, pull up departure and arrival boards for the airport you care about, and keep the trips you’re waiting on close at hand.

Follow any flight, mile by mile.

Tap an aircraft and the map follows it. A colour-coded altitude trail traces the route already flown, the progress bar shows how much of the trip is left, and the card underneath keeps a live read on time elapsed, distance remaining, and how long until it’s on the ground.

The map tracks the aircraft automatically as it moves

Know exactly what’s happening in the air.

Open any flight for the full picture. Live telemetry reads straight off the aircraft’s own broadcast, scheduled times sit next to actual times so you can see a delay building, and the aircraft panel tells you what type is flying the route — down to the registration and a photo of the airframe itself.

Departures and arrivals, as they happen.

Pull up any supported airport and read the board the way you would in the terminal — scheduled times, airlines, destinations, gates, and the status that actually matters when you’re waiting on someone. Filter down to a single terminal or airline, then tap straight through to watch any flight on the list.

Search by flight number or by route — London to Miami, Atlanta to Orlando — and save the ones that matter. Saved trips sit in My Flights with their live status attached, so when the day comes you’re one tap from knowing whether it’s boarding, running late, or already on its way.
