AboveNow

About

Ever looked up at a plane and wondered what it is and where it's going? AboveNow tells you - instantly. Open the app and see the flight number, airline, full route, aircraft type, altitude, and speed of whatever is flying closest to you right now. A compass pointer shows you exactly which direction to look. HOW IT WORKS AboveNow uses your location and live ADS-B radio data to find the aircraft nearest to you. As planes pass overhead the display updates automatically - no refreshing needed. When a flight locks in, you get the full picture: where it came from, where it's going, what it's flying, and how high and fast it's travelling. WHAT YOU'LL SEE • Flight number and airline name • Full route - origin and destination airports and cities • Aircraft type (e.g. Airbus A320neo, Boeing 787-9) • Altitude, ground speed, and climb or descent direction • Distance and compass bearing from where you're standing • Up to four other nearby flights, ranked by distance ADJUST TO SUIT • Scan radius from 10 to 150 km • Refresh interval from 5 to 60 seconds • Metric or imperial units • Light and dark mode No account. No login. No ads. Just open it and look up. Flight data is sourced from the community-operated ADS-B network via airplanes.live. Route and aircraft information courtesy of adsbdb.com.
