The plane spotting logbook.

Punch in a tail number and AVSpot works out the aircraft type and airline for you. Each spot lands in your own Hangar, a running collection of every aircraft you've caught.

Available now for Android and in your browser. Coming soon for iPhone and iPad.

Made for the fence line

You shouldn't miss the next arrival because you were still filling in the last one.

Quick log

Log it before it's out of sight

Start a session at the airport, type the registration, tap the check mark, and you're done. The counter keeps score of today's spots and how many of them are new to you.

If you couldn't read the tail, log the aircraft type on its own.

Auto-identify

Type a reg. AVSpot knows the plane.

AVSpot finds the aircraft type and operator for each registration and pulls in a photo of that exact airframe when one is available. Where and when you saw it are stored alongside.

You can also look up which flight the aircraft was flying at the moment you spotted it.

Your Hangar

Watch your collection grow

Browse everything you've spotted by type, airline, manufacturer or registration. A first-time catch gets a "new" badge, so the rare ones stand out.

Add Photos screen with a grid of logged aircraft

Add your photos later

Log now, then match your camera shots to the aircraft once you're back at your desk.

Import Sightings screen matching spreadsheet columns

Import your old logs

Bring in a CSV from a spreadsheet or another app. AVSpot guesses which column is which, and you can fix any it gets wrong.

AVSpot home screen with Hangar totals and recent sessions

Your whole history, in one place

Your totals, recent sessions, and every spotting location you've saved, each on its own map.

Your logbook stays yours

Other people can't see what you log.

Private by default

Only your account can see your sightings, sessions, photos and saved locations.

Location only when you log

AVSpot records where you are at the moment you log a spot, and never follows you in the background.

Delete it all, anytime

You can delete your account from Settings. That erases every sighting, photo and location you've stored.
