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.
the 30 min avg Apple TV session vs under a minute on iPhone tells you everything about who this is for. one's a quick lookup, other's basically a screensaver you actually want on.
@derek_julian I’m not so sure—I think it’s just two different usage modes. I myself use the iPhone app many times daily, but only for a few seconds each time, and always to answer the question, “What’s that plane hear?” But I also leave it running on the Apple TV in my office for hours at a time.
Plotted a Delta flight from JFK to LAX overhead and the route line basically pointed right out my window, which felt a little too magical. The Apple TV ambient mode is the real hook though, just sitting there turning the ceiling into a quiet map.
Love the Apple TV angle here. Turning local airspace into an ambient display feels way more natural than another big map you have to actively check.
"inbound interesting" is hilarious and a little terrifying.
@aditya_harish_2002 Interesting inbounds don’t happen very often for most people, but when they do they’re pretty exciting. (The spoken traffic voice announcing it is even excited. 😊) thanks for the comments!
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.
@azizvwhr Thanks! It’s been really fun to work on.
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.
