Hey everyone, maker here. I built PlaneTracker because I kept hearing planes overhead and wanting to know what they actually were, was that a med-evac helicopter, a military flight, or just a regular airliner. So I built a live radar that answers that instantly, no account, no sign up, just point your phone at the sky. It shows every aircraft near you in real time, with callsign, altitude, distance, and bearing, on both a radar scope and a live map. It'll also flag emergency squawks, like hijacking or radio failure codes, and prioritizes military and medevac alerts, so if something unusual is flying nearby you'll know right away. It's powered by community ADS-B data, so coverage depends on receiver density in your area, it works great in most populated regions. The app is free with ads to keep it sustainable. Would love feedback, especially from other plane spotters or aviation folks, what features would make this more useful for you.
