Apex Sky: Catch & Fly Planes

The plane spotter's flight sim

Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Spot real aircraft overhead, build your collection, then fly what you catch. Explore the sky with working instruments and aircraft with their own flying feel. Real aircraft, flying right now, over your actual head. Point your camera to catch one — then climb into its cockpit and fly it yourself. Apex Sky is a live flight tracker and a flight simulator in one app. • CATCH REAL AIRCRAFT — Live ADS-B traffic in 3D over your location. Point your camera, identify it, and add it to your collection. • FLY WHAT YOU CATCH — Climb into the left seat with working instruments, real flight physics, and a full flight deck. • WORKS IN AIRPLANE MODE — Download your flight before takeoff and fly gate-to-gate with no signal — from seat 12A at 35,000 ft. • A REAL 3D WORLD — Real terrain, satellite imagery, and reconstructed airports with runways, taxiways, and gates from public aviation data. • NIGHT FLIGHTS, LIT UP — City lights below, runway lights ahead, real constellations overhead. • COLLECT THE SKY — 150+ aircraft from a Cessna to a Concorde, each with real specs, rarity tiers, and a story. • PAINT IT. FLY IT. — A workshop where liveries, paint, and ballast change how your aircraft handles. • FLIGHT SCHOOL — Guided lessons from your first discovery flight, with every landing scored in feet per minute. • PRIVATE BY DESIGN — No account. No ads. No data collection.
