Drone Scanner


Drone Scanner by Dronetag transforms your phone into a real-time drone detection tool, allowing you to see what’s flying nearby, monitor drone activity, and gain visibility into the skies from your pocket. You can scan drones using your mobile device or connect to a Dronetag RIDER, our dedicated drone detector with significantly greater range. RIDER can detect drones up to 5 km (3 mi) away with its default antenna and up to 10 km (6 mi) with a directional antenna.

New in the next-generation Drone Scanner:


- A completely redesigned interface and an intuitive scans list

- Recent scans are stored locally on your phone and can be exported to open formats

- Scan using Dronetag RIDER for enhanced range and scan frequency


Core Features: 


- Detect drones using Bluetooth 4, Bluetooth 5, Wi-Fi Beacon, and Wi-Fi NAN 


- Display pilot location (if available) 


- Monitor height, direction, and operation type 


- Browse nearby drones on a map or in list view 


- Compatible with EU, US, and Japanese Remote ID regulations 


- Developed by Dronetag, a global leader in drone Remote ID solutions

Some phones may limit scanning functionality due to manufacturer restrictions - especially related to Wi-Fi access. This is a system limitation and not an issue with the app.

How It Works:

Remote ID is a feature that transmits identification and flight data from drones using wireless signals like Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. Manufacturers implement this in different ways, using various technologies. Drone Scanner captures these signals using your phone’s built-in hardware - or via the Dronetag RIDER for extended detection range and higher reliability.
