Hey r/planespotting!

Long-time spotter here. I got frustrated with spreadsheets and notes apps for tracking aircraft, so I built something properly designed for us.

AeroLog - Plane Spotter is now live on iOS and I’d love for you to check it out.

What it does:

📋 Log every aircraft you spot or fly on — registration, airline, type, airport, photos
✈️ Track fleet completions across 50+ airlines (British Airways, easyJet, Ryanair and loads more)
🔴 Live departures and arrivals board for any airport in the world — tap a flight to instantly log it
🗺️ World map showing all your flown routes as great circle arcs
🏆 Global leaderboard — compete with spotters worldwide by aircraft spotted, airlines, streaks and badges
🎖️ 67 badges to earn across 6 categories
☁️ iCloud sync so your logbook is always safe

Best bit is it’s free to download. See link below.

Would love any feedback from the community — you lot know better than anyone what a proper spotting app needs!

Happy spotting! ✈️
