After a limited alpha testing phase, Aviate, the flight tracking app that aims to be a complete rebuttal to the iPhone’s Flighty tracker, is now officially available on Android.
After a short pre-registration period and the aforementioned limited alpha, Aviate can be purchased directly from Google Play Store according to the development team official blog post announcing the release.
While there have been some options on Android over the past few years, there has been a lack of apps that lean into what makes Android a great platform. Instead, they tried to replicate the iOS-only Flighty experience.
Aviate appears to be one of the few that leans more toward Material 3 Expressive’s visual aesthetic, with color, clean layouts, and Google-like UI elements all present. Our Ben Schoon himself has been testing the application for some time and has had positive first impressions. It’s a great dive into what makes Aviate a potentially revolutionary app for us Android nerds.
It’s completely free; However, for detailed tracking and additional data points, there is an in-out subscription model that seems fairer than other similar offerings. Subscription starts at $1.99 for one week, $2.49 for 2 weeks, $2.99 for 3 weeks, $39.99 for one year, or $199.99 for a lifetime pass. Eligible early adopters receive 20% off Lifetime Pro through August 31, 2026, with an offer viewable in the app.
This pricing tier seems like a great way for infrequent travelers to have access to great metrics without committing to extensive subscriptions or high one-time fees. Basic flight tracking is available on the free tier for those who want to try it without paying. You can download Aviate for Android from Play Store here.
