Thirty years in the air went into designing this. Real-time GPS tracking, AI flight planning, wind profiles, push notifications for your crew — everything in one app, always free.
Whether you're holding the burner, chasing in a van, or watching from the ground — BalloonRadar 2.0 keeps everyone connected and informed in real time.
Your cockpit in the air. GPS tracking with wake-lock, a 30-minute prediction line, barometric VSI, wind profile by altitude, live traffic from other BalloonRadar pilots, and AI-assisted pre-flight planning — all on a single screen.
The chase crew app. Enter a 6-character code to join a flight instantly — no account needed. Get live navigation toward the predicted landing zone, updated continuously as the balloon moves.
For passengers, families, and anyone who wants to follow the flight. Opens in any browser — nothing to install. See the live map, flight trail, altitude, and get email notifications when the pilot takes off or lands.
Every feature exists because a pilot needed it. Nothing is here to fill a marketing checkbox.
The AI Flight Planner fetches real wind data across eight altitude layers from 10 m to 3,000 m and models two independent scenarios. Each trajectory is drawn on a satellite map with an altitude profile chart and plain-language risk assessment.
No guesswork. No generic forecast. The AI tells you exactly what the wind will do to your balloon — and where it will take you.

Wind Check uses your GPS drift during controlled ascent to measure real wind direction at your current altitude. Not a forecast — what the air is actually doing, measured from the basket.
The result appears instantly on a satellite map with a bearing line and elapsed time. Essential before committing to an altitude layer.
Speed- and direction-responsive. Lengthens when you climb fast, contracts as you slow toward landing. Always showing where you'll be — not where you were.
See every other BalloonRadar 2.0 pilot in the air around you — their position, speed, direction, and unique balloon icon — updated live.
Your profile, balloon settings, and flight history live in the cloud. Switch phones, lose your device, or upgrade — log back in and everything is exactly as you left it.
Subscribers get notified the moment a pilot takes off or lands — with a balloon photo and registration. No more waiting for a call to know if the balloon is up.
