Built for the Apple Watch
PlaneWatcher was designed specifically for the Apple Watch, providing the best possible experience on this small device. The map rotates to align with the direction you're facing, so you can easily identify aircraft that you see around you. Use the digital crown to zoom in/out and touch & drag on the screen to move around the map.
Unfiltered Flight Data
PlaneWatcher shows you all aircraft, unfiltered, unlike most major flight tracking apps. Made possible by our amazing data provider ADSBExchange, the world's largest source of unfiltered flight data.
Local & Worldwide
View aircraft around your current location or jump to any airport in the world. Use the digital crown to zoom in on a busy LAX or watch aircraft taking off and landing at JFK.
Aircraft Details
Simply tap on an aircraft to see all its details: flight name, registration, type, category, operator, altitude, speeds and more (depending on data availability).
Aircraft Following
Interested in a single aircraft? Follow it as it proceeds among the other traffic. Just tap the small blue dot to exit follow mode and return to the main map.
Multiple Filters
Just want to see aircraft below 10'000 feet, Boeing 747s or only planes from a certain airline? You can filter by altitude, type, callsign or registration. Filters can be combined, too.
Customizability
Customize the display using many options. You only want to see helicopters and hide all small airports? You can do that and much more...
Complications Support
With many different complications available, designed to fit into all color schemes, PlaneWatcher is always just a tap away.

Ratings and Reviews
Great addition
I think this app has a ton of potential. It is an excellent adjunct to using the website or phone app. It has many features that are customizable like the website. Thanks for developing this app!
Developer Response ,
Thanks for taking the time to write a review, it's much appreciated! Glad to hear you liked the app.
Best ADS-B watch App
This is absolutely the best Apple Watch ADS-B traffic app. PlaneWatcher loads extremely quickly, adds situational awareness with track-up or North-up and has intuitive controls. This app has saved my bacon on more than one occasion in the air and always satisfies my curiosity while on the ground. It’s hands down the fastest way to identify a plane you see/hear in the sky. Don’t think about it any more, just purchase it, check out their other aviation accident app.
Works great, is way faster than expected
Unlike so many other watch apps, this is incredibly fast. My only ask is to support Compass and orientation on watches that support it
