The Flight Tracker

01.

Intro of case

Flight Tracker: Flight Radar was built to provide real-time flight tracking, personalized travel alerts, and a seamless flight discovery experience — all in one intuitive mobile app. With a sleek design, a powerful 3D flight map, and live airline deal updates, it quickly became a go-to companion for frequent flyers, aviation enthusiasts, and travel planners.

Our role wasn’t just limited to building the app. We created a complete growth and monetization strategy by combining effective App Store Optimization (ASO) with targeted User Acquisition (UA) campaigns, helping Flight Tracker take off across global app stores.

Work challenges

Launching a travel utility app in a competitive post-pandemic market required careful navigation:

Highly competitive ASO landscape: Ranking for high-volume keywords like “flight tracker,” “live flight radar,” and “real-time flight updates” required aggressive testing and optimization.
Identifying the right target markets: We had to pinpoint user segments that would not only install the app, but also retain well and convert through monetization.
Standing out with unique features: 3D flight tracking and live airline deal discovery were key differentiators, but needed to be highlighted effectively in store creatives and ad campaigns.
Monetizing without interrupting the utility-focused experience: We needed to balance ads, in-app purchases, and subscription offers in a way that felt helpful, not disruptive.
