Live Planes & Proximity Alerts

Features & Capabilities

Track every aircraft in your sky - in real time, unfiltered, with proximity alerts that tell you exactly when traffic is heading your way.

SkyPinger connects to ADS-B Exchange, the world's largest cooperative network of unfiltered flight data. Unlike other trackers that hide military, government, and private flights, SkyPinger shows everything broadcasting ADS-B - the complete picture drone pilots and aviation enthusiasts need.

AR Sky View - NEW Point your iPhone at the sky to see nearby aircraft in augmented reality. Live callsign, altitude, speed, and distance overlays help you visually identify traffic during drone operations or from your spotting location.

Proximity Alerts & CPA

Configurable distance, altitude, and CPA thresholds
In-app banners, system notifications, and background alerts
Apple Watch companion - approaching aircraft at a glance

Military & Helicopter Detection

Local ADS-B receiver - connect your own dump1090/readsb/tar1090 for 1-second updates with zero latency

Filtering

Altitude, callsign, ICAO, military-only, on-ground, or proximity-only

Built for the Field

Background monitoring keeps alerts active when your screen is off
Three-tier caching and adaptive rate limiting
iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch

Whether you're a Part 107 pilot maintaining situational awareness, a plane spotter, ADS-B feeder, or just curious about what's flying overhead - SkyPinger puts the complete, unfiltered sky in your hands.

User Reviews

Hi, I love this app! I use it all the time with flighty and apple weather at my local regional airport. However I noticed recently that despite the App Store description contains the words, “no subscriptions, no paywalls” and I find in the apps settings that some features like AR view, proximity alerts, tracking trails, and other features are paywalled behind a subscription. However I don’t see a way to purchase the apparent subscription, as it says “App Store connection unavailable”. I really hope that this some sort of backend bug or something that may have accidentally slipped through a recent update because I enjoyed those features a lot, and I am already paying for other essential apps and services such as flighty pro. I hope this issue can be addressed in the next app update. Other than that, its a great app overall, keep up the good work!
