--- title: "myFlightradar24 alternative for Android — honest comparison · Orbit" description: "myFlightradar24 is the flight diary built into a Flightradar24 account. Here is what Orbit does instead, what it does not do, and what moving actually involves — including the parts that count against us." url: https://orbitflights.app/alternatives/myflightradar24 --- myFlightradar24 # myFlightradar24, but on your phone and offline The logbook half of Flightradar24 — formerly Flightdiary — where you enter the flights you have taken and get statistics and a map back. Free, and attached to an account most aviation enthusiasts already have. ## Read this before you switch **Orbit cannot import your flights.** Not from myFlightradar24, not from anywhere — there is no importer yet. Moving a logbook across means typing it in. myFlightradar24 exports CSV, so getting your history out is genuinely easy. Getting it into Orbit is the manual part — there is no importer, so the export is a list to work down rather than a file to upload. It is less work than it sounds: three fields per flight — where from, where to, and when. Orbit derives the distance, the hours, the countries, the continents and every milestone from those. The [method for rebuilding a history](https://orbitflights.app/blog/reconstruct-your-flight-history) is written up in full. The free tier holds 15 flights, so you can find out whether you like it before deciding whether to carry the rest across. ## Orbit and myFlightradar24, row by row Including the rows Orbit loses.

A 3D globe rather than a flat map, with every route drawn as a great circle. Levels and badges, earned from where you have actually been. ## What myFlightradar24 does better - It is free, with no cap on how many flights you log. - It exports to CSV cleanly, which is more than most in this category manage. - It knows aircraft registrations and types, which Orbit does not record at all. ## What Orbit does better - It is a website; Orbit is an app that works on a plane with no signal. - A real 3D globe rather than a flat map. - Badges and milestones, if that is the part you enjoy. ## Asked and answered ### How do I export my flights from myFlightradar24? The flight diary offers a CSV export from your account, which is the cleanest export in this category. Keep the file: it is a complete record of everything you logged, and it is yours regardless of what any one service does later. ### Can Orbit import a myFlightradar24 CSV? No. Orbit has no importer yet, so the CSV is a reference to type from. Only three fields per flight actually need entering — origin, destination and date — because Orbit computes distance, duration, countries and continents itself. ### Why use Orbit if myFlightradar24 is free and unlimited? Mostly if you want it on your phone rather than in a browser, offline, with a 3D globe. If a free web page suits you, myFlightradar24 is a perfectly good answer and this page is not trying to talk you out of it. ## What Orbit works out for you You enter an airport pair and a date. Everything below is computed from the airports’ own coordinates — which is why entering a flight takes a few seconds rather than a form. - [São Paulo – Singapore, 15,995 km →](https://orbitflights.app/routes/gru-to-sin) - [Singapore – New York, 15,341 km →](https://orbitflights.app/routes/sin-to-jfk) - [Singapore – Newark, 15,337 km →](https://orbitflights.app/routes/sin-to-ewr) ## Start with the flights you remember.
