  • Update is a downgrade

    We used to love flight tracker. Our family does a lot of travel and it’s been useful in keeping track of our own flights and keeping up with where our family is in their journey.

    Due to Covid, it’s been a while since we travelled, so we were excited to finally be back flying and using the app.

    Sadly, somewhere in the last 12 months, one or two of the upgrades has been a downgrade. In the past we could see how long we had until the flight took off, and this seems to have disappeared. While you can still see how long until the flight is over, the information used to scroll with time since take off, time to destination, time until next flight etc. It seems a real shame to lose these.

    My son is overseas now and I’m hoping he made it to check in on his next flight. No longer can I see how long he has until take off unless I go and work out the time conversions ourselves.

    Also, the map no longer centres over the flight, you need to scroll the map to find the flight. The Sydney to LAX flight shows me a map of Africa until I move it around myself. This used to centre automatically.

    Such a useful app, but bring back the old features please.

  • Substandard product

    I would have left zero stars if I could. The app isn’t finished. There are some fundamental flaws on the app. I have brought them to the attention of the developer. It seems as though they couldn’t care less. I haven’t had a reply. And the app is still not worth paying for. I’m happy to pay for reliable information. But not on this occasion

  • Good but missing a key feature

    The app is impressive but I noticed that it is missing a key feature that every airline tracking app has…it doesn’t tell you what kind of airplane model it is…??? Why is that missing info for an app that is suppose to give you detailed information. It bugs me because I like to know plane models of the airplanes I’m tracking just out of curiosity. If they can add that feature, I’d give 5 stars.

  • Did I just throw away $40?

    Purchased one year subscription and created an account. Now app opens then immediately closes (crashes)...every attempt to open and use. Then, uninstalled and reinstalled...same result...not off to a good start...

    So, my question is; why does the app crash on both my iphone and ipad after I log in using my account info? I have to uninstall the app and then reinstall and be sure not to log in on either device to use

  • Cool App, but by subscription? No thanks!

    Have had this app and enjoyed it for quite some time. I liked showing people how you can choose any plane and get so much detail on it. It was mind boggling for anyone who saw how many planes are in the air at any time and how you can track each one in real time.

    Then I today I launched it so I could identify a plane flying overhead and discovered it was now a subscription only app!

    Yes, this app does an amazing feat though it really collects available info from control towers. But to charge a subscription for it? I think that only the die hard aviation geeks would fork over $5 a week.

    I subscribe to a suite of apps that are second to none because they offer apps that provide world class tools for editing photos, videos, music, text, web design and a whole lot more. Adobe offers subscription for individual apps or a whole collection of them. They charge for sophisticated and professional tools.

    You’re not Adobe!

    When you start producing apps that pilot use as well as a host of apps for other aviation uses, then you will have a right to charge a subscription based on value.

    Until then, I’m out.

    Hello Bari! Thank you for your feedback! Please note that you can always reject the subscription offer and continue using the basic app version that comes with all of the essential options needed to check the flights. For this, simply tap the corresponding button on the offer screen. As to a subscription-based pricing model, it is one of the easiest ways to support our efforts to provide you with the most up-to-date and functional app. Hope for your understanding. Best regards, Support Team
  • Not Free. Still not free

    App is free only for 3 days, then you have to subscribe. Flight Tracker is a better app for the casual user.
    Update: nowhere does it say there’s an option to use a limited version. Only that after 3 days you’ll get charged monthly. Period. And, there’s no option to turn off “push notifications”, like offers of flights etc. So no. Unless you’re willing to put up with charges and ads in your inbox, forget it! Do not download, despite what developer says. They’re lying.

  • Mr G

    Planes Live App So very helpful
  • Amazing

    This app is so amazing and accurate. I absolutely love planes and being able to hear a plane above you and check you phone and see the exact flight is so amazing to me. You get to see every detail about the plane. It is so worth the money if you love aviation. Amazing App. Only think I could suggest changing is showing different size planes on the maps for commercial and private planes! But besides that it is so amazing and I love it.

  • Greedy developers

    I paid for this app 10$ some years ago. Worked good but got sloppy over the last year or so. Now I know why. My purchase is not working anymore. Os14? I checked and found the new App. But now it is way overpriced. Who is using this App?-people that like to identify what is just happening above them. A fun thing. Nobody would pay for that reason more than the one time 10$. For exact flight information for travel planning, you have tons of free and better apps.
    Then all so called free trials should never go automatically to a subscription. That’s in my opinion fraudulent. You accept a free thing. Never do you approve of to a payment plan. To call it a „free“ trial is misleading and should be illegal.
    Sad, I liked this App. To change it during a pandemic where people don’t have the usual financial abilities is also not to smart.
    Greed is never ending positive.

    Hello! Thank you for your comment. Please note that the app can be used for free, and purchasing a subscription is completely optional. You may decline the subscription offer and continue with the limited app version. A free trial of the Pro Features is available so you can experience all the app’s functions without being interrupted by the ads. Once the trial expires, unless you have cancelled it by then, it implies you want a paid subscription to the app. The store, therefore, will charge you according to the chosen subscription plan. You can cancel your subscription anytime in your Apple ID settings. If you have iOS 13 or higher, please open your App Store app - tap your account's icon - Subscriptions. As the last step please tap the subscription you want to manage and select "Cancel subscription". We're sorry for the possible misunderstanding! Best regards, Support Team
