  • Even better than v1

    Not much to say other that it is even better than the original. I love it. Now you can even use your own login. Perfect!

    Hey andrelabbe, You're in luck, I took this suggestion and added the ability to add your OpenSky Network login credentials in v2. Does this warrant an extra star? :)
  • My granddaughter loves it

    My son was the developer

    Hi mum
  • Dead app

    Not sure why Jacob dropped the ball on this, but it hasn’t worked in months. Sad, because it’s a super cute app

    Hey KnowWonder, really sorry about this. I have good news - the app is now back up and running, and improved in several ways! Please give it another try and see if your experience is better this time around :)
  • Data error makes this unusable

    I’ve been trying over the course of the past week, at different times of the day. I always get a data error and it won’t show planes. I loved the blog post and app design, but unfortunately it doesn’t work. I’ll happily change to 5 stars if it’s fixed.
  • Always get data error

    Seems like a cool app that my toddler would love. I have never got passed a data parsing /server busy error however.

    Hey wertrose, The open-source API I depended on is working again now, so to celebrate I released v2.0! I'd love if you tried it out again :)
  • Broken

    Seems the app is never able to pull down any data. Would gladly revise this remark if fixed!

  • Wonderful

    Really simple, really elegant, really cool
  • Doesn’t seem to work in US

    I loved your development story.

    However, it doesn’t work for me, even with VPN shut off. I get different messages:
    “Server overloaded”
    “Request timed out”
    “Error parsing data”

    But I’ll keep trying

    Hey wourmman, really appreciate you downloading and reading the story! The open-source API I was built on was broken for the longest time, but it's working again now - so I've released 2.0! Please give it a try now and see if you like it more this time around.
  • Great app, fantastic blog post

    I really loved the blog post about how you built this. A fantastic example of iterative refinement of a design, and the result is excellent!
  • Fun app for kids and adults

    Read the article the author wrote about building this app. Fun idea. The boys love planes and we are always wondering what is a plane in the sky vs something else like stars or planets when the planes are very high over our home at night.

    This app is so much simpler to view than most plane tracking apps as it removes the noise. It keeps it local to the phone and follows the phone’s orientation. Fun app. Thanks!
