Skyby 1.29 is all about the logbook, plus some very fancy paint jobs. Special liveries When a plane in a special paint job flies over, the catch card now tells you, like "CALIFORNIA ONE LIVERY." It shows in your logbook too, with an amber L and its own Liveries filter. There are over 300 of them in the list so far, and I keep adding more. Pro users can get a chime when one comes by. Your whole logbook, searchable Pro search now covers all 90 days, not just your most recent catches. Search a flight number the way the card shows it (LH560) and it'll find it. Every favorite now shows in Saved, no matter how old. And the Airlines and Aircraft charts finally count every catch. Reached the end of your 90 days? Download a CSV with your full history. Report a problem Spot something wrong on a catch? Open it in your logbook and tap Report a problem. Wrong livery, airline, route or aircraft type, it comes straight to me. Fixes - The logbook no longer jumps back to the top when a new catch comes in while you're scrolling. - Fixed a blank catch card that could show up after typing a space in a text field. - Fixed the screen going to sleep on older iPhones running iOS 15. - Fixed a rare bug that could make Skyby forget your device between launches (and hide your Pro status).
Know exactly what's flying over you. Look up, and whatever is overhead appears on screen. Airliners, private jets, helicopters, and more, identified instantly. No searching, no typing, no menus. NOTE: Some features shown in the screenshots require Skyby Pro. Whether you're a planespotter camped at the end of a runway or a casual fan glancing up from home, Skyby reads the sky in real time and shows the aircraft directly above: the airline or operator, the aircraft type, the altitude, and, for scheduled flights, where it came from and where it's headed. An inbound indicator shows when a flight is coming into range. Two ways to use it: Set it and forget it. Prop Skyby on a desk, shelf, or windowsill and leave it running: a quiet radar for your patch of sky. Set an alert for the aircraft you care about, and Skyby chimes the moment one flies over. Pull it out and look up. On a walk or in the backyard, open Skyby and see what's flying over right now. From airliners to helicopters: Skyby identifies it all. The passenger and cargo jets, the private planes and business jets, the helicopters overhead. And yes, if a blimp drifts over, Skyby catches that too. Prefer to keep it to the airlines? Flip on Commercial Only in settings. Set your spot, or take it with you: Use your current location Drop a pin anywhere in the coverage area to watch the planes over home while you're away Or set the pin to live, and Skyby follows you as you move WHAT YOU GET Instant overhead ID for the aircraft above you Adjustable search area, up to 3 nm free (wider with Pro) Alerts that chime when a plane you care about flies over (A380 and 747 built in, free) An inbound indicator when a flight is coming into range Real routes and aircraft types for scheduled flights A logbook that saves your catches automatically Available across the US, Canada, UK, Europe, Australia/New Zealand, Japan, Korea, Mexico, Philippines and Singapore today, with more on the way Skyby Pro adds aircraft photos matched to the tail number (when available), custom alerts (any airline, aircraft type, flight number, or tail), your full logbook with search and bookmarks, detailed stats, and an even wider search radius.
