Best part about being a software developer is you can bring ideas into reality. As a frequent flyer and an aviation geek, I missed the in-flight entertainment on indigo flights. So I created an app that fetches my trip data, downloads an offline map of the estimated flight path... show more

Doesn't flightradar already do this?

It doesn’t work offline right?

Ohh cool cool

Pretty cool. As a fellow aviation nerd I also love watching the raw GPS data that gets captured from the sensors if you remove your phone from airplane mode and turn the location on, it is pretty cool. There are a couple of apps on App store that allow you to see the real-time data. But this is very well executed. Good job.

Airplane mode doesn’t affect gps positioning right?

So if I remember correctly, Android used to disable location services on airplane mode before some OS update. Now I think it keeps your WiFi, bluetooth and location enabled if they were enabled before switching to airplane mode. But it's just a muscle memory now for me now.

Yeah now it has changed. For iOS location stays on

This is such a cool idea 💯

Noice! 👀

Ship it please!!!!

Interesting. This should reach to more people

The geek in me always wished for an app like this to exist since very long time

Yoo that's soo cool ! You build flightradar offline version that too be personalized ! Crazy

That’s soo cool

That looks Cool

Have you been able to keep the flight location updating with the phone in your pocket?

Aah flight radar24

No this is different. It works inside the flight with no internet

Put it on the app store

Application name?

This is just something I built on my personal device. Not shipped.

Can you share IPA?

You have a developer profile?

Yes

Okay I am out of town, I will share once I reach

Very cool..🎉✌🏼

That's so cool!

ChatGPT 6 can make this in how many seconds?

Yeah

Ye kaisa inflight entertainment hua sirji ? Usse accha aisa app banate jo aapke flight schedule ko detect karke automatically ott apps mai aapke pasand ka content download kar deta ya trending youtube videos. Map ka kya fayda, upar se kuch nahi dikhta 😅

If you don't get it, probably you don't fly enough 😅 Rather this one is not for you. This app is more for the geeks who want to see the real time data of their flight and their flight position on map. One may argue I can use Google maps but on iOS it doesn't work unless you have entire map downloaded.

If you open the map, it will show your location during the flight as well; GPS works there too. And if you set some destination and start navigation it will tell your speed.

No altitude data and you need the offline maps downloaded on iPhone

What's an ife

Short form for in flight entertainment

Ah ok thx

cooool, although no need to be a dev today to create these super simple apps, world is evolving fast

Yeah now world has changed

open source it, nowwwwwwww!

Nice app. But Flighty does that offline and shows estimated path.

Flighty works on estimates. This one works on realtime data

Also the offline tracking of flighty is there but it costs ₹20k

Best kind of side project — itch from real life, shipped. Offline map for the route is chef’s kiss.

That's cool On app store/play store when?

Haven't thought about it yet 😅 Just created to not pay ₹20k to other apps

Kya upadi savari 🌚
