A different way to look out
That city below?
Now it has a name.
A town beside a river. A city along the coast. Point your iPhone’s rear camera out of the window and see place names in the view.
As you come in to land, look for the places you know. Seeing home from up here feels a little more personal.

Before you fly
A few things
to know.
No app account. No subscription.
Just your iPhone and the view.
How do I use it on the plane?
Choose a window seat with a clear view. Allow camera and location access, then point your iPhone’s rear camera towards the landscape. You look at the screen while the camera faces out.
Does it work without internet?
The included place database works without an internet connection. Identifying places still depends on usable location and device orientation information. Reception can vary inside an aircraft.
Will it show every place I can see?
Coverage varies. Place names are estimates based on your location and the direction of the camera, so results depend on location and compass reception. It is for enjoying the view, not navigation.
What happens to my camera view and location?
World Below processes them on your iPhone. It does not send them to the developer or an analytics service. Read the privacy policy for details.
