This week's Indie App Spotlight shines the light on 'Overflight', a new app available on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV. The app is designed to display real-time information about planes flying overhead. Overflight provides users with flight number, tail number, altitude, speed, nautical mile distance and more, all at a glance.
The free version of the app offers basic flight data, while the pro version unlocks additional features like flight paths, spoken traffic updates, and alerts for notable inbound planes. Users can also customize the interface using a compass to align with a specific plane. The app highlights significant inbound alerts in amber to draw attention.
Overflight offers a neat interface that turns amber when there's a notable inbound alert. The app is free on the App Store for iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV running iOS and tvOS 17 and later. For the full experience, 'Overflight Pro' is available for a monthly fee of $3.99, $19.99 annually, or a lifetime purchase of $69.99. A 7-day free trial is available for subscription tiers.
For more information about the app, you can follow the developer on X/Twitter, Bluesky, or Instagram. Check out 9to5Mac on YouTube for additional Apple news.
