This is amazing. FYI, I believe it might be a paid feature of the flight radar app, but if you hit "AR", you get a mode where if you point it at the sky it overlays information about the planes you see onto your current camera view, there's an example here: https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/introducing-the-all-new-flightradar24-mobile-app/ -- It's great if you live under a major airway.
Hey Jacob, firstly, I want to say I love the app. But it’s been “offline” for almost a week. Might want to look at that. Basically it says either the server is overloaded or that it can’t reach the server or it’s offline. One of the reviews mentions it all.
This is super cool! I'm a pilot, a coder, and a woman, so it brings me so much joy to see that you built this for your daughter! You should definitely look into what you could do with direct adsb data, which is essentially the next gen technology replacing radar globally. https://www.adsbexchange.com/open-source-software/ has some great resources on how they get and process their data!
Hi Jacob. This app looks great. I installed it but it’s giving me an error. Is that because it won’t work in Australia where I live or has it been a bit too successful for your infrastructure?
This is seriously good. By the way, are you ensuring this substack post gets ranked in Google SEO? That way, readers can directly visit this post and subscribe to you!
Years ago, I lived in Heston on the Heathrow approach and often layed in the garden looking straight up at 747's passing over so close you could almost touch them. I loved it! I totally get your daughter's interest!
What a lucky daughter!

That's awesome! You made my day.
Your daughter is indeed lucky to have such an amazing father.
Congratulations and thank you for your inspiration :)
That looks amazing! Installing right now!
This would be awesome to have on an Apple Watch. Would it take much to get it running on watchOS?
Hi Jacob. Is it worth keeping the app installed? Do you think it’ll work again sometime in the future?
I’m getting the following errors:
“ Data parsing error. Retrying…”
“ Sorry, the server is overloaded.
Please come back later.”

OMG this is amazing
This is so inspiring. Well done you, Jacob!
You should explore rtl-sdr and make her portable ADS-B receiver, it's definitely more interesting and may spark interests about radio and electronics.
Awesome!
