Plain English summary: Use SkyBy to identify aircraft overhead. Don't abuse the service. Subscriptions are handled by Apple. We're not liable if the app is wrong about a plane. That's the gist.
By downloading or using SkyBy ("the App"), you agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the App. We may update these terms from time to time; continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
SkyBy is an iOS application that identifies commercial aircraft flying overhead using publicly available ADS-B flight data, combined with flight schedule and route information from third-party aviation data providers. The App displays flight information including airline, route, aircraft type, and registration for entertainment and informational purposes.
Flight information displayed in SkyBy is provided for informational purposes only. While we make every effort to provide accurate data, we cannot guarantee that flight information is correct, complete, or current at any given time. Do not use SkyBy for navigation, safety-critical decisions, or any purpose where accuracy is essential. Flight data is sourced from community ADS-B networks and third-party APIs; SkyBy is not responsible for errors in source data.
SkyBy offers a free tier and a paid Pro subscription. The following terms apply to subscriptions:
The free tier of SkyBy provides access to core flight identification features with the following limitations: logbook history limited to the past 24 hours; catch radius limited to 1 nautical mile (the radius slider is visible but capped); no access to statistics and analytics tabs; no logbook search or filtering; no bookmarks; aircraft photos are a Pro-only feature. These limitations may change over time.
You agree not to:
The SkyBy name, logo, app design, and original code are owned by SkyBy and protected by copyright. Aircraft photos displayed in the App are provided by Planespotters.net contributors under their respective licenses; SkyBy does not claim ownership of third-party photography. Flight data is sourced from public ADS-B networks and licensed third-party providers.
Your use of the App is governed by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.
SkyBy is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that the App will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that flight information will be accurate.

We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. We may suspend or discontinue the App or any features at any time. In the event of service discontinuation, we will provide reasonable notice and cease charging subscriptions from the discontinuation date.
We reserve the right to terminate or suspend access to SkyBy for violations of these Terms. You may terminate your use at any time by deleting the App and cancelling any active subscription.
