Good to know

  • Sky Scanner is available on iPad because it has the required iOS camera and motion stack; it is not available on Mac.
  • Spoken traffic and alternate app icons are limited to iPhone and iPad.
If the result looks different, open Settings > Help and send the visible status together with device, operating system and app version.
