Plane Finder - Flight Tracker App Reviews

Great interface and complete information, I especially liked the AR part

Love to sit on the deck and identify jets flying overhead!

Great app if your into all aspects of aviation. Very cold to be to look up at an aircraft and see all the data about that aircraft... Try it. Youll love it. Jerry

Awesome app! The one I always use! Have a few other similar app yet nothing is as good as this one!

Quick way to find out who just flew over your house.

Awesome App!!! Plane Spotters Best Resource.

Map doesnt always reflect whats happening overhead. Also camera doesnt always identify the flights passing overhead. Disappointing since its not free.

The real-time feed is more accurate than any web based ADS-B feed I have found. Its location accuracy is truly real-time.

Fantastic app. This is the real deal. Notifications must be improved.

This is the second version I have used. I am amazed at its accuracy. I have sat in an airliner and told my seat mate to look out the window because another airliner is going to pass by!

Simply the best app for the airplane, airline and airport enthusiast! I have them all!!! This is the one!

Aviation nuts look up at overhead aircraft and use this app to identify the plane and its route. I use it all the time.

I love this app so much! I live around the Denver airport and this app makes plane watching AMAZING. My thanks to its creators for creating it and keeping it updated. If youre reading this and wondering if its worth it, it definitely is.

When I first purchased this app, the "wow" factor was impressive. Plane Finder showed details on planes that were flying overhead, nearly real time. You could grab a snapshot of tracked raffia worldwide at any moment. It seemed amazingly accurate! After a bit of playing around with it, I really liked the app. Later, when I tried to actually use it to track flights I realized that its shaky at best at that. Retrieving a flights history is truly hit and miss. These comments apply to both Part 121 (commercial airliners) and Part 91 (general aviation, I.e., private aircraft). Ive corresponded with customer support. Emails are returned and shortcomings acknowledged, but no commitments (yet) for fixes. Id recommend waiting a bit to see if future releases improve the coverage and utility before paying for this app. It certainly has potential but falls short as of Oct, 2016.

Very fun! Were right in the flight path to DFW so its great to track planes going over head and now knowing where their coming from, and where their going ! My only complaint is it freezes up sometimes.

Love this app. Well worth the money (and I dont buy apps lightly). Im on a major flight path, and love knowing who/what is overhead. Yes, there is some lag, slight flight misplacement, non-reported craft, or other. But I chalk that up to the source data and not the apps interpretation. I dont use the VR (I carry a compass instead).

Im a pilot and being one means that whenever a plane flys overhead, I cant help but to look up and wonder "What type plane is it and where are they going?" This app with a little imagination can put me in the cockpit. There are a few problems with tracking the international flights that cross the Atlantic once they come into the "Grey area" after passing the Moncton airspace. But still lots of fun especially sharing with non-pilot friends.

I use this app all the time and love it! And its a great conversation piece sitting around the campfire or while at the office

Great app, really enjoy tracking the planes. Tracked a family flight clear across the world with no problems.

Edit: I gave this four stars (reasons below) but after using it for a day, I have found no less than 6 flights that when looked up have completely incorrect departure and arrival cities. But when checking a free app by flight aware its right 100% of the time. For a paid app Im disappointed in the lack of detail and quality. I downloaded and researched 4 flight tracking apps. All had their highlights, even some free ones that hold their own. But I chose this one because of all the current features of iOS, watchOS and tvOS they support. By far the best at that by a long shot. Feedback: I would like to ask 2 things. 1) when you click on the route icon it should show traveled and yet to be traveled. So the "complete line" from departure to destination. 2) add an option to overlay weather on the maps. But great job and keep supporting all the new and best features!
