POINT AT THE SKY
Hold up your iPhone and Sky View labels the aircraft you are looking at with its callsign, type, altitude, and distance. Spot one to add it to your logbook.
OVERHEAD ALERTS
Get a notification on iPhone and Apple Watch when an aircraft is about to pass over your home spot. Choose low flyovers, military aircraft, helicopters, emergency squawks, or your saved aircraft. Alerts are included with Monthly and Lifetime access.

Ratings & Reviews
New in this update: point your iPhone at the sky to identify planes, get overhead alerts when aircraft pass near home, add the nearest aircraft to your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and watch face, and follow a passing plane in the Dynamic Island. Contacts now glide between radar updates, plane icons point the way they are flying, and military aircraft are identified correctly.
