Track Planes, Live in the Sky

▶

Features & Capabilities

Experience real-time radar tracking nearby aircraft, right in the palm of your hand.

My 2-year-old daughter recently became obsessed with airplanes. Every day, she adorably asks me to find her planes in the sky, and she becomes delighted when I locate one for her.

Naturally, like all dads, I took it upon myself to do a bit of DIY.

Aviator is the result:

Live Aircraft Radar: Track nearby planes in real-time
Map Overlay: Toggle between the radar view or a detailed local map
Customisable Colours: Personalize your display with your kid's favourite
Modern Retro: Marrying cutting-edge graphics shaders and haptics with old-school CRT display and radar beeps

This app uses the free OpenSky API - https://opensky-network.org/

I’ve been trying over the course of the past week, at different times of the day. I always get a data error and it won’t show planes. I loved the blog post and app design, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. I’ll happily change to 5 stars if it’s fixed.

I loved your development story. However, it doesn’t work for me, even with VPN shut off. I get different messages: “Server overloaded” “Request timed out” “Error parsing data” But I’ll keep trying

Read the article the author wrote about building this app. Fun idea. The boys love planes and we are always wondering what is a plane in the sky vs something else like stars or planets when the planes are very high over our home at night. This app is so much simpler to view than most plane tracking apps as it removes the noise. It keeps it local to the phone and follows the phone’s orientation. Fun app. Thanks!
