ROW1

Row1 is the flight logbook that plays like a game. Every real flight you take becomes XP, collectible badges, and a spot on route leaderboards — finally giving frequent flyers and avgeeks a scoreboard for the miles they were already flying.

Why it exists

Flight trackers tell you where a plane is. Logbooks store your history. Nothing made flying itself feel like progress — the way Strava did for running. Row1 is that missing layer: a game built on real-world flying, with 304 badges to earn (from your first red-eye to crossing the equator), XP levels, and per-route leaderboards where frequent flyers compete for King of the Route.

Feature highlights

304 collectible badges across routes, aircraft, airports, airlines, milestones, and oddball achievements.
Log a flight in seconds — by flight number, calendar scan, email forwarding, or one-tap import from Flighty, Flightradar24, and OpenFlights exports.
King of the Route leaderboards — per-route competition, not one global list.
Wrapped-style year in review — an animated 3D globe movie of your year in the sky, built to be shared.
Verification net — flights are checked against real schedule data, keeping leaderboards honest.

Coming soon

Skylanes — an air-route strategy board game for 2–5 players from the same studio, playable directly in iMessage, launching as a Row1 Elite add-on. Waitlist at skylanes.app.

Boilerplate

Row1 is a flight logbook game for iPhone that turns real flights into XP, 304 collectible badges, and per-route leaderboards. Flights can be logged by flight number, imported from other tracking apps, or forwarded by email, and every year ends with a shareable animated globe of everywhere you flew. Row1 is built by Row 1 LLC, an independent studio in Hawaii, and is free on the App Store with an optional Row1 Elite subscription. Learn more at row1.app.
