What the app does

  • Near me — Point the app at where you are and it lists the accidents, incidents and safety events recorded around you — the one thing a phone can do that a desktop cannot.
  • Live map — Aircraft in the air right now, plus the accident map: filter by airline or aircraft type and open any record from the pin.
  • Safety — The global safety overview and the full profile set — aircraft families, airlines, airports — with fatality trends, event rates and the underlying records.
  • Home — Search the whole corpus from one field: registration, flight number, airport, aircraft type or operator.
  • More — Aviation news, data stories, airworthiness directives, wildlife and laser strikes, and your saved trips.

The same data as the site

The app reads the same merged corpus as himaxym.com — occurrences deduplicated across national investigation agencies, the NTSB, ATSB, MAK and dozens more, with per-record attribution to the authority that published it. Nothing is app-only and nothing is held back: see the methodology, browse the safety hub, or query it yourself through the Safety Data API.

Privacy

The app ships no web analytics and no advertising SDK — the tracking that runs on the website is switched off in the native build. Location is used only when you open Near me, is resolved on the device and is never stored on our servers. Full detail in the privacy policy.

Both platforms, one build

The iOS and Android apps are the same application — the screens above are the iPhone captures, and the Android build shows the same ones. Neither is a cut-down edition of the other, and neither holds anything back from the website.

Where does the safety data come from?

From official public sources — NTSB, FAA, NASA ASRS, EASA and other national authorities — normalized into one database. Methodology and source list are published on the site, and the dataset has a citable DOI.
