The photo-first plane spotting app. Capture any aircraft, add the tail number, and build a permanent personal log with location, history, owner info & change alerts.
Turn every plane you spot into a permanent, richly detailed logbook entry.
SpotterLog is the photo-first app for plane spotters and aviation enthusiasts. Point your camera at any aircraft and instantly identify it by registration and type. Log the sighting with photo, timestamp, and GPS — then dive deep into its full story: owner, history, and NTSB incidents (even across previous tail numbers).

WHY SPOTTERLOG
Flight trackers show you where a plane is going. SpotterLog tells you what a plane IS — and builds your personal aviation collection over time. Like a birding app for aircraft: visual, personal, and endlessly rewarding.
Whether you’re at the fence line, the gate, or chasing rare liveries at airshows like Oshkosh or the Chicago Air & Water Show, SpotterLog turns casual spotting into a lasting record.
