Spot: Track Everything

Spot is a spotter's logbook for everything that moves. Planes overhead, trains and buses going past, ships offshore, tagged wildlife, the ISS at dusk. See what is around you, bank what you catch, and build a collection.

THE MAP Aircraft, with helicopters, military, emergency and privacy-flagged flights called out. Trains, buses and ships. Airports. The ISS and upcoming rocket launches. Earthquakes, wildfires, lightning and severe weather. Road incidents, roadwork and events. Tagged sharks from OCEARCH. Landmarks. Confirmed ALPR camera locations from public OpenStreetMap data. Flight restriction zones. Tonight's sky objects on real geography.

RADAR SCOPE The same contacts on a plan position scope centred on you. Range rings, a rotating sweep, phosphor afterglow and colour coded blips. Pinch to set the range, 2 km to 500 km.

SENSOR Your own movement, from the phone's GPS, barometer and accelerometer. Live speed on a dial, altitude, climb rate, g-force, heading and position. All on the device, so it works in a tunnel, on a train, or in airplane mode. Choose mph, km/h or knots.

JOURNEYS Hit record, put the phone in your pocket, and Spot writes the whole trip down: route, speed, altitude, climb and g-force. It keeps going with the screen off and pauses itself when you stop. Every journey lands on a globe you can spin, each mode in its own colour Replay a trip with a time scrubber, or watch a long flight play back on the globe Lay your live stats over video you filmed on the trip and save it to Photos Export any journey as a GPX file

LIVE ACTIVITIES Pin a flight and follow it on the Dynamic Island and Lock Screen: position, altitude, speed and arrival. Start a nearby radar and watch the count of aircraft around you change. A recording journey gets its own Live Activity with a stop button.

SPOTDEX Every kind you have caught, laid out like a dex. Dex numbers, first and last seen, flyover tallies, notes and photos. Uncaught entries stay silhouettes until you find them.

BADGES Over a hundred badges across milestones, logbook, craft, places, photos, habits, flyovers, watchers and journeys.

FOG OF WORLD The ground you have walked is cleared from a fog layer over the map. Fold the world into a globe, see the countries and cities you have set foot in, and climb the explorer ranks. Journeys clear fog as you travel.

SKY AND SPACE What is up tonight from where you are: the Moon and its phase, planets, bright stars, meteor showers and comets, with rise and set times and a watchlist. Then the solar system in 3D, with the ISS on its live orbit.

SPOTTER AR Hold the phone up and Spot overlays nearby aircraft and the ISS on the real sky, so you know which light you are looking at.

ALERTS A tracked plane or train passing overhead. Emergency squawks nearby. Rare aircraft and special callsigns. The ISS overhead or due. Earthquakes, wildfires, lightning and severe weather near you. Launch countdowns. Entering a flight restriction zone. A followed shark surfacing again. A watched wildfire growing, contained, or out.

PRIVACY Location stays on the device. One tap on the kill switch shuts down every GPS read across the app, and a blur option hides your exact pin for screenshots. Nothing is posted anywhere unless you share it.

WORKS OFFLINE The Sensor readout, journey recording, Fog of World, the globe, the sky chart and your whole logbook all run with no connection.

ICLOUD Sightings, photos, badges, fog, follows, watchlist and journeys sync through your own private iCloud database. You choose what carries.

SHORTCUTS AND WIDGETS Widgets for your pins and the radar. Siri shortcuts to pin a flight, start a radar, or ask what is overhead.

SPOT PRO Spotting, pinning, the logbook, badges, Fog of World, the sky chart, Sensor and Journeys are free. Spot Pro adds the server backed feeds and their alerts, monthly.
