High "wow" factor - doesnt deliver
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.
