Looking for a Flightradar24 alternative?

If you mostly track airline flights, the big mainstream trackers are excellent at that. Squawk exists for a different person: the one who looks up.

What Squawk is built around that generic trackers aren't

Military first, not filtered out. Military aircraft are never thinned from Squawk's map at any zoom, get their own sprites (C-17, P-8, tankers, helos), and a one-tap military-only worldwide mode.
Alerts that come to you. Draw a zone anywhere and get a lock-screen push when aircraft enter it. Watch a military base and get pushed when jets, tankers or cargo depart or land — with runway and heading. Get a heads-up ping when a genuinely rare airframe (B-52, U-2, E-4B, An-124...) is about to pass over your house.
Emergency squawks, live. 7700/7500/7600 aircraft pulse on the map and can push to your phone the moment they appear, anywhere in the world.
A spotter's logbook. Log sightings with photos, track your lifelist, earn badges, and see your stats — the app remembers what you've caught.
Shareable artifacts. Export 4K posters of a day's trails over your city, share live flight cards with a working web link anyone can open without the app.
Honest data handling. Built on community ADS-B feeds with public credit and a no-resale pledge.

Where Squawk deliberately stays simple

Squawk is iPhone-only, spotter-focused, and doesn't try to be an airline-operations tool. If you need airport departure boards for business travel across every platform, a mainstream tracker may fit better. If you want to know what that gray jet was — this is the app.

Price
