Flightradar24 is an app that is ideal for those who travel and for those who enjoy monitoring flights across the world.

When you look at the app, you might think that it's a game about flying planes. That's not what the app is about. You can view real-time flights that are taking off and landing across the world. There are over 100 countries that feature flights with the app. You can also see planes as they are in the air, observing where they are going and the speed of which they are traveling. There is an option to see the type of plane that is in the air and to get a bit of information about how long it's been flying that day.

Menus allow you to see pictures of the planes that are in the air. All you have to do is point your device at the sky to see the plane and to get the information. A fun feature is that you can see what the pilot sees in a 3D view. When you view each plane, you can get details about when it's supposed to land, the altitude and some of the historical facts about that plane and those that are similar to that design. You can also see details about airports and the number of flights that will take off and land during the day. If you know a specific flight, you can search for times and information for an idea of when to expect the plane in the area.
