Hunter's comment
It's a simple $2.99 app that tracks all public planes flying in the sky. You will know the following details:
- Airline
- Flight number
- Route
- Aircraft registration
- Speed
- Altitude
- How far away the plane is from you
How It Works: ADS–B Technology
ADS–B is a surveillance technology in which an aircraft determines its position via satellite navigation and periodically broadcasts it, enabling it to be tracked. The information can be received by air traffic control ground stations as a replacement for secondary surveillance radar, as no interrogation signal is needed from the ground.

Planes that have ADS-B equipment can be tracked and this data is then processed for AR allowing you to point your camera to the sky and start tracking the flights in great detail although the UI isn't the best looking.
Happy Hunting!
