The interface is fully translated, and so is every written page — the guide, the learning articles, the data essays and the blog. What stays in Persian is what arrives from the data source itself: city, airport, airline and aircraft names, and the notes stored alongside them. Those will appear in Persian until the API carries an English field for them.
What is Flightradar and how is آسمانجو different?
Flightradar24 is a Swedish service and one of the best-known live flight-tracking sites and apps in the world — a global map of the aircraft that are in the sky right now. آسمانجو does not compete with them and does not depend on them either; it reads the same kind of data but was built with a different purpose: a reader who reads Persian and wants to look without signing up and without ads.
What both have alike
- Data source
Both read mainly from ADS-B: a message the aircraft itself broadcasts and a network of ground receivers picks up. Neither takes its data from the control tower or the airline.
- Coverage limits
A receiver has to be on the ground and ADS-B is line-of-sight; in the middle of an ocean or a sparsely populated desert neither service has a receiver, and the aircraft fades from both maps there.
- The same caveat
Neither of them was built for air navigation or for operational decisions. Both say so, somewhere on their own site.
The differences
Persian, right-to-left, from the ground up — not a translation of an English interface.
English-centred; it has no official Persian translation.
No feature, including bookmarking a flight and alerts, needs registration.
Much of the history and the detailed data is behind an account and a paid subscription.
No advertising. There is one analytics script — Google Analytics — explained in full on the privacy page, with its advertising signals turned off.
The free version shows ads; the paid version removes them.
Solar or Gregorian calendar, feet or metres, knots or kilometres — each from the settings menu.
Gregorian dates and Western units, with no Persian-calendar option.
A dedicated page for Iran's airports and airlines, in Persian, with local names.
The same coverage worldwide; Iran's airports alongside every other airport in the world.
Smaller and younger — coverage is still expanding.
Bigger and older; for years it has had the world's largest public receiver network.
The last row is deliberately not in آسمانجو's favor, and it is not the only one: the next section counts three things they do better.
What Flightradar24 has better
- Receiver network and coverage
Flightradar24's receiver network is larger than any other public network and was built years earlier. For intercontinental flights, the oceans and areas with few receivers, their coverage is more complete than what we have.
- Long-term history
Asemanjoo keeps the moment-by-moment track for 30 days. They have years of flight history and make it available in their paid subscriptions; if you are after a flight from last year, it is not here.
- Official mobile app
They have official Android and iOS apps, with alerts on the phone itself and features like a camera view. Asemanjoo is a website; it can be added to a phone's home screen, but it is not a native app.
When which one
For a quick look at Iran's sky, its airports and domestic airlines in Persian, or to mark a flight without signing up, Asemanjoo is enough. For long-term history, deeper worldwide coverage or an official mobile app, Flightradar24 is the fuller option. Neither replaces official sources for flight planning or air navigation.
