The FLY(er) radar with Main radar and Following tabs

Two tabs. No guessing.

Main radar is everyone on FLY(er), live. Following is only the people you follow. Switch with a tap. Nothing is promoted into either one, and no ads interrupt them.

Narrow either tab from the Everything menu at the top.

New flights, and who posted them.

When new flights land while you're reading, a bubble shows the faces of the people who just posted. Tap it to jump up. Pull down to refresh any time.

FAQ

Questions.

Does FLY(er) use an algorithm?

No. The radar shows flights in the order they're posted: everyone on Main radar, or only the people you follow on Following.

Are there ads on the radar?

No. FLY(er) has no ads. When a brand partnership is an ad, the creator marks it with #ad so you always know.

How do I find people to follow?

Use Explore for trending hashtags and suggested accounts, or search by handle. Lists and followed hashtags help too.
