Great app but add destinations!

As mentioned in a couple of other reviews, be really cool if you could add where the plane departed from and where it’s destination will be!

Thanks for the kind review, it's much appreciated. I'm currently looking into how to source the flight origin/destination data and will announce it on the website (www.planewatcher.app) if/when I find a solution. Thanks again!

Doesn’t tell you where the aircraft is coming from/going to

It would be better if there was a map with the aircraft over it. Also, it doesn’t tell us where they are coming from or going to.

Hi, thanks for your feedback! As the CPU & GPU performance is very limited on an Apple Watch, I had to strike a balance between the amount of data displayed and the frame rate. This did not allow for a detailed map to be displayed. You do have airports and runways though, which should help you get oriented. If you have any further questions, please contact me any time at support@planewatcher.app. Thanks!

Great app!

Any chance you could add the aircraft’s departure and arrival airports? Other than that, this is a great app!

Thanks for the nice review! Currently looking into sourcing the necessary data to do that, but haven't found a solution (yet). Will keep you all posted via the website/Twitter. Cheers!

must reinstall from watch

if you have to delete and reinstall, reinstall from the app store on your watch, not on the phone

Unable to download on newer Apple Watch

I bought myself a newer IPhone and upgraded my watch. I can’t download the app on my watch again. In my purchase history it is reflected. When I backed up my earlier IPhone, the app never backed up.

Kindly help.
Thanks

Hi, thanks for the feedback, please drop me an email to support@planewatcher.app, I'd be happy to help you troubleshoot the problem!

Absolutely Fantastic service and brilliant app in general!

I downloaded the app on my Apple Watch a couple days ago and it wasn’t working properly probably because of my watch and Apple ID issues, it is now working after an amazing thread of 6 emails to support and The service was phenomenal! I really recommend this app for anyone! Thank you so much!

It just works!

What an excellent app! It’s so intuitive that I was just able to install and use it. Works like a dream on my Apple Watch 5. Even turns as I move in line with the built in compass. Data is second to none and kudos to ADSBexchange for supplying it. Can’t rate it highly enough 👍🏼Well worth £2.99

Useful app but needs further development

I have just started to use this app and great to have access to the information without having to look at my phone.

I find that some of the aircraft have incorrect information attached - eg type or ownership.

It would also be helpful if a future development is using icons that match the type of aircraft similar to FR24 or ADSB Exchange

Works great, is way faster than expected

Unlike so many other watch apps, this is incredibly fast. My only ask is to support Compass and orientation on watches that support it

mixed

a) would love a simple “N” when not in “always North”

b) would love a configurable Notification that could be, e.g. “Helicopters within 5 miles”

c) ANY chance getting Depart & Destination airport added to the flight info ???
