A General Overview

The all-new AirNav Radar App brings flight tracking to the palm of your hand. With just a few taps on your smartphone, you can quickly track flights anywhere, anytime.

The all new AirNav Radar App (iOS & Android)

 

The app is packed with most of the features that are available on our website and in the coming months, we plan on adding many more features to enhance your experience. Features like Augmented Reality, Alerts, and the My Station page are currently being developed and will be made available via an app update soon. We’ve also decided to keep the layout, buttons and color scheme just like the website, so that you get the same familiar look and feel when you use the app.  

This beginner’s guide will help you get acquainted with the app and its features quickly and thoroughly.

 

Getting Started

Sign in / Sign up

After downloading and installing the app the first thing you’ll see is the live map (with ads). If you already have a spotter, pilot or business account with AirNav Radar, you can sign in to your account by choosing the MENU option (3 vertical dots) on the top right side of your screen (next to the magnifying glass) and tap on SIGN IN. Next, enter the same email address that you used to sign up for a AirNav Radar account. Then enter the password and tap sign in.

If you have any issues while signing in or if you signed up for an account previously and don’t remember your sign in details, please send us an email ([email protected]) or choose the forgot password option if you’ve just forgotten your password.

 

The Sign In / Sign Up Process

 

If you don’t have a paid subscription account (spotter, pilot, business) with AirNav Radar, you can still use the app, but with limited features and ads. We recommend using the app with a subscription for the best user experience.

Our subscription plans start at $2.45 / month. You can view & buy subscription plans by tapping the MENU option (3 vertical dots) on the top right side of your screen (next to the magnifying glass) and then tapping on Subscription Plans.
