A live radar scope of the sky above you. Every aircraft you can actually see, plotted, with airline, flight number, route, altitude, and which way to look. iPhone and iPad in your pocket, Apple TV as an always-on ambient display. Free, with Pro for routes.
Finally tried this on my iPad and the Apple TV ambient mode is genuinely cool, just watching planes drift across the living room screen while I work. Route info for transcontinental flights has been spot on so far.

@koglu5218 Glad to hear you’re liking it! I’m curious: do you have spoken traffic turned on? I do that and then the volume down low. It’s nice background noise while I work, and just the right amount of interesting. :)

the way it pulls live flight data and overlays direction-of-look on the map feels really polished, like the team actually thought about how a plane spotter holds their phone.

Love seeing polished indie iOS apps like this. As someone also building a solo iOS app, curious what your approach to App Store screenshots was — they look great. Congrats on launching!

Love that it treats Apple TV as an always-on ambient display instead of just a second screen. Turning the TV into a living radar scope while you sit on the couch is such a thoughtful use of the form factor.

the always-on Apple TV mode is such a smart move, honestly feels like something out of a flight ops room but you know, in your living room. finally a use for that screen.

@cemgmlcnehrtm Thanks, that’s the feel I was going for.
