App or website
Choose where to set up and manage your Plus Sync account, schedule, devices, and billing.
Plus Sync uses the same account and schedule in the TheFlightWall app and at plus.theflightwall.com. Changes made in one place are available in the other.
If Plus does not appear in the app
Plus Sync is held back in the app until it launches, so the app may show no Plus Sync card, screen, or account page. During the private beta, use plus.theflightwall.com.
If a display you linked on the website is already following your Plus schedule, Flight Tracking shows This display is following a synced schedule, so the flight settings below are paused. Select Stop using the synced schedule to return the display to manual flight tracking.

Open Plus Sync in the app
- Open the app.
- Select a FlightWall from the home screen.
- Select Flight Tracking.
- Use the Plus Sync card to sign in, subscribe, link the display, or open your schedule.
After a display has an active Plus link, you can also open the Plus Sync screen by selecting Plus Sync in the display settings selector, or by selecting the Now showing: Plus Sync banner at the top of the display's settings pages.
The Plus Sync screen has three tabs:
- Schedule shows the month calendar and your flights.
- Import shows flights waiting for review. When nothing is waiting, it shows Quick Manual Add and the Google, Calendar URL, and File Upload import methods.
- Display sets what the display shows and opens the custom message editor.
The Help button in the header opens Plus help in your browser.
To manage your Plus account, select the account icon beside the settings gear on the home screen, or open Settings → Plus Account.
Open Plus Sync on the website
- Go to plus.theflightwall.com.
- Select Sign in.
- Sign in with your email address and password.
The Sync workspace contains Schedule, Import, Review, Message, and Display. Use Devices to manage display links and Settings to manage your profile, notifications, import preferences, billing, and account.
The website does not support Google or Apple sign-in. Use the email and password associated with your Plus account.
If sign-in or account creation is unavailable
While website sign-in is closed, the website shows a waitlist instead of Sign in.
Website account creation can also be disabled. If the Create account tab shows Coming soon, create your account from the Plus Sync card in the app. You can then use the same account to sign in on the website.
