Intent

I need it when

Monitor nearby aircraft while outdoors without constant app checking

Live Activities and Home Screen widgets display the closest aircraft in real time, perfect for plane spotting walks. Users get notifications of nearby aircraft without manually refreshing the app.

Access real-time flight information from a trusted source built by a pilot

Flight Follower pulls ADS-B data from adsb.lol and airplanes.live, providing continuously updated transponder data. Built by Dennis Walsh, a licensed pilot and aviation enthusiast, ensuring features match actual user needs.

Track flight data on a fast, ad-free native iOS experience

Flight Follower uses native Swift mapping with 60fps scrolling and instant updates, eliminating the bloat and ads of web-based trackers. No account required, no ads, no interruptions.

Identify aircraft flying overhead in real time

Flight Follower uses Siri Shortcuts to let users ask 'What plane is that?' and instantly receive aircraft type, airline, altitude, speed, and heading. Native iOS integration provides immediate identification without opening the app.

Drop

Not a fit when

User needs Android app—Flight Follower is iOS only
User requires offline aircraft tracking—app depends on real-time ADS-B data streams
User is in an area with no ADS-B ground station coverage—aircraft may not transmit or be visible
User needs commercial flight booking or ticketing—app is tracking-only, not a booking platform
User wants advanced features like custom alerts or live plane following—these are Pro features coming soon, not yet available
