Plane Above Me - What's that plane?

by•
Have you ever wondered what type of aircraft is flying above you? You can scan the sky or let the app auto-detect flights using audio recognition. Once detected, it will show live flight data such as aircraft model, flight path, altitude and speed.

PlaneAboveMe uses iPhone’s mic to sense the presence of aircraft sounds. Once detected, it calls flight data APIs and reads out the flight details, show photos of that particular aircraft above you, along with its current flight path on a map. In addition, you can search by location or flight number. If you enjoy aviation, or just curious about what's flying above you, you may find this useful. Free.
Congrats on the launch 🚀
Congrats on the launch ! I wonder - living in the city with a lot of ground noise, will the mic catch the aircraft engine sound ?

thanks! I live in Toronto. It's pretty good. If it misses, you can always hit the Search by Location button to manually trigger it.
Really cool app!
I love airplanes and love seeing planes above me - that's cool that it can sense sounds! Can't wait to try this out.
Love the idea! Well done

- glad that you like it!
Cool, which flight data API are you using?

Doesn't Flyradar24 already solve this problem?
