5Spotting photo community
Share selected spotting photos with the community and discover sightings by aircraft type or airport. Everything stays private by default, location metadata is removed and shared content is moderated.
Personal recaps
Explore personal recaps such as your first sighting, longest-distance sighting or most varied spotting day. Optional challenges will have no points grind, daily streak pressure or lost progress.
Android and web apps
Once the Apple experience is polished, the calm live monitor and collection will come to Android and the web with platform-appropriate interaction.
Private photo cloud & backup
Keep your spotting photos privately in the MODE 1090 photo cloud, synchronize them across your devices and restore them after changing devices. Local photos and free collection sync remain independent.
