Description by Random Noise Studios Written by the developer, not by AppBrain. Click to read.
SkyPinger connects to ADS-B Exchange, the world's largest cooperative network of unfiltered flight data. Unlike other trackers that hide military, government, and private flights, SkyPinger shows everything broadcasting ADS-B - the complete picture drone pilots and aviation enthusiasts need.
AR Sky View - NEW
Point your iPhone at the sky to see nearby aircraft in augmented reality. Live callsign, altitude, speed, and distance
overlays help you visually identify traffic during drone operations or from your spotting location.
Real-Time Aircraft Map
- Live positions with smooth interpolation between updates
- Callsign, altitude, climb/descent, speed, and heading for every aircraft
- Track trails show flight paths to identify traffic patterns around your area
Proximity Alerts & CPA
- Closest Point of Approach calculated for every aircraft
- Configurable distance, altitude, and CPA thresholds
- In-app banners, system notifications, and background alerts
- Apple Watch companion - approaching aircraft at a glance
Military & Helicopter Detection
- Automatic identification by ICAO hex code and callsign pattern
- One-tap military-only filter
Three Data Sources
- ADS-B Exchange via RapidAPI — worldwide unfiltered coverage
- ADSB.lol - free community data, no account needed
- Local ADS-B receiver - connect your own dump1090/readsb/tar1090 for 1-second updates with zero latency
Filtering
- Altitude, callsign, ICAO, military-only, on-ground, or proximity-only
Built for the Field
- Background monitoring keeps alerts active when your screen is off
- Three-tier caching and adaptive rate limiting
- iPhone, Mac, and Apple Watch
- Works offline with local receivers - no cell service needed
Whether you're a Part 107 pilot maintaining situational awareness, a plane spotter, ADS-B feeder, or just curious about
what's flying overhead - SkyPinger puts the complete, unfiltered sky in your hands.
