Point your phone at the sky and Tailspot identifies the actual plane overhead. Catch it, score it, and build your collection.
Point up at a plane and Tailspot tells you the make, model, airline, and route based on live air-traffic data. Tap to catch it and add it to your collection. Some planes are common, while others are uncommon, rare, or epic. Each catch makes your collection stronger, and gives you more points in the weekly, monthly, and all time leaderboards.
- Real-time plane info from live transponder data
- Rarity scoring from everyday planes to uncommon military aircraft
- Guess the route for an extra bonus
- Hangar sets, trophies, and a weekly leaderboard to compete in
Been using this to identify and "capture" planes on my walks and it's honestly addictive. Every flight goes into my own hangar, so I can see my collection build up over time. I’ve caught some really unique aircraft!The weekly rankings are fun. I check where I stand and it's turned into a solid reason to get outside and find a few more before the week resets. More people playing makes it harder to stay in the Top Ten. So now I have a goal.Highly recommend if you like staying aware of what’s flying up above. ✈️

Tremendous Fun

It’s like Pokémon Go for planes. Super fun. I’ve always loved planes, have been going to air shows since I was a kid, and recently learned how to fly (PPL). If you work in aviation esp if you’re MIL you have a big advantage over GA / enthusiast people like me.

This app is awesome. So much fun and a great reason to get outside and look up at the sky rather than down at my phone.

- Pinch to zoom on recent catches to see them up close
- Added new sets, with increased coverage for helicopters and rare planes
