The smartest flight tracking. See every plane in the sky, learn where it's going, and find out why before anyone in the world
Every plane in the sky. Every cockpit message. Every emergency, the second it happens.
FlightDeck plugs into the same live feeds airlines and ATC run on and turns them into plain English.
PILOT MESSAGES (ACARS)
The digital messages pilots and dispatchers send worldwide, decoded live the moment they go out. Diversions, emergencies, mechanical issues, and the occasional cockpit humor. No other app shows you this.
TRACK YOUR FLIGHT
Follow any flight on your Lock Screen with real ATC-grade detail: IFR clearance, pushback, the exact runways it uses, even the inbound jet that becomes your flight.
EVERYTHING ELSE
Live weather radar, turbulence and pilot reports, D-ATIS, METARs, and plain-English NOTAMs. FAA ground stops and delays, active runways, gates, TSA waits, and approach charts. Emergency squawks are for military and government aircraft, and custom alerts you write in plain English.
SUBSCRIPTION
FlightDeck requires a subscription to use. We offer a weekly or yearly subscribtion.

The UI looks nice in the screenshots, but I’ll never know how it actually performs because there is no free tier or trial that doesn’t require a credit card upfront. Listing an app as “Free” on the App Store when it has zero functionality without a paid Pro subscription is misleading. I’d give it more stars if I could actually try the features first.

I’m super disappointed I went with this over flightradar, especially considering the significantly higher cost. I’ll regularly open the app to identify a plane, wait 30 seconds while nothing loads, open flightradar, watch an ad and then identify the flight on flightradar before switching back to flight deck before anything loads, if it even loads at all. Finally fed up enough to right this because I’m sitting here and there’s not a single flight over the entire US showing on the map. Map is set to default settings. I never hear any of the radio messages either, can’t hear ATC audio. I don’t know. Maybe I’m dumb and need a tutorial, but either way, I’m not enjoying the app.
It has potential, but still flawed.

You get a sense this app relies more heavily on AI, and not in a good way. It doesn’t appear you can list all of your upcoming flights, and are limited to tracking one specific flight at a time on the homepage. When airports have ground delays or ground stops, the text box containing the full message is truncated and you cannot click to expand it. The weather at airports and other data is off - for instance it said current conditions at DAL are 78° with snow. The real-time security wait times is helpful. The ACARS alerts are nice but need more personalization capabilities — they are quite random worldwide.
ONLY PAID OPTIONS

I was so excited at the idea to see the transcript instead of listening to the liveatc option (which is free online and fun to do on flights). Alas they will not provide a single second of a free trial without giving a credit card when they only have 200 reviews. You cannot make money immediately without having a trial phase to see if it’s worth paying for. I have no problem paying the full price and more if it does what it says it does in the ad. I subscribe to all the other flight tracking apps. But you cannot expect to make money during the roll out. Why should I trust you? I wish you the best and I hope it works.
