Point a camera at the sky to identify flights in an AR view. Look for clear direction cues and aircraft details, and check whether the app can switch to a map when camera alignment is difficult.

ARDAR - AR Flight Tracker

An augmented-reality flight tracker that overlays nearby aircraft and flight details on the camera view.

PlaneLens: AR Flight Tracker

PlaneLens is an aircraft-spotting app with a live sky view, compass-oriented radar scope, flight details, estimated airport times, aircraft information, and a local overhead-plane logbook. Premium adds worldwide flight search, unlimited history, and a 100-mile range. Weekly, annual, and lifetime plans are listed.

Camera overlays can make a flight easier to identify when several aircraft are visible in the same area.

How to choose

  • Compare the overlay with a map and see how the app handles compass recalibration.

Frequently asked questions

Why does the marker appear offset from the aircraft?

The overlay depends on device heading and the latest available flight position. Cross-check the map if they diverge.
