My review

This app is very useful for when you see a plane flying over you. and the best part is it’s free!

Super app

Love this app, very helpful and easy to use

Terrible support

I have (or, rather, *HAD*) an annual subscription and reported an issue with the availability of features. I got one response back from them and then…nothing, despite a number of chase ups.

So I *HAD* an annual subscription because I refuse to pay for features that I’m not getting.

Response from developer

We're sorry to hear about your experience, Kevin. We'd love to understand what happened and help resolve the issue. Please email me at caio@airnavsystems.com with more details so we can look into this.

Getting better but still has quirks.

This app recently went through a period where it was difficult to use, but is getting better of late. The thing that is most annoying right now is that when you are listening to the airband VHF and you have to switch to another app to check something, the audio stops playing.
The app doesn’t seem to use the conventional iPhone audio interface that allows you to continue to listen while doing other things and doesn’t put a mini icon in the Dynamic Island at the top of the screen to allow you to click and get back to AirNav.

I would like to be able to continue to listen the the VHF audio while doing other things on my iPhone. At the moment, I have to have the app running with the screen constantly on to have uninterrupted listening. This eats my battery.

Thank you for your feedback, Jeff. We're glad to hear the app has been improving. We appreciate your suggestion about background VHF audio playback on iPhone and understand how important this is for usability and battery life. We've forwarded it to our team. What else could we improve to earn your 5th star?

AirNav radar

Bit slow on the app moving airplane

AirNav Radar IS THE BEST!

i honestly am starting to think its better than flight radar 24. its SO useful when i did plane spotting in my garden.it also includes TONS of pictures, something flightradar doesnt even have much of there are many more reasons this is a good game for ‘avgeeks’ or aviation enthusiasts DEFO ID RECOMMEND Id also would like to say the military plane model is so recognisable. Flightradar’s fighter jet symbol is quite inaccurate. this app is really gud DEFO RECOMMEND (and pls write the dev review in english im not mad i actually think its quite funny and i know the reason why u devs wrote it in portuguese)

Great app

It’s great for seeing were aircraft are and it doesn’t cost anything

Response from developer

Thank you for the review, J9xvdeq75! We’re glad you’re enjoying AirNav Radar and that it’s helping you easily keep track of aircraft. Have a great day!

It's so unreliable now and full of bugs

This used to be great and the labels on map are far better to see than competitors but the map always shows stationary ground vehicles at certain map zooms - these get in the way of planes and labels even though GV is turned off in settings. Have toggled on/off, deleted app etc but no fix. About 40% of planes on approach or taxiing for departure don't show until you zoom out and back in again. For my use case this app is far to unreliable anymore to keep using or to even suggest to others to use.

Response from developer

Hello, Kaminokiller, we’re sorry to hear that your experience hasn’t been what you expected. If the issue is the ground vehicles showing on the map, you can turn them off: open Map Options using the map icon, go to "Map", and unselect “Show Ground Vehicles.” If you’re experiencing anything else or need a hand with the app, just email us at support@airnavradar.com. We’ll be happy to help and look into it with you!

Crashes a lot

I can’t believe the amount of times this app has crashed I. The last two days. It wouldn’t be a problem, but it loses all of your favorites and flights that you selected as following. If you’re thinking about an app, I would pass on this one

fun

interesting to see what planes are flying overhead when sitting outside

Aircraft radar

Fantastic, wish I’d got it sooner

Great but

This is a great app. Only thing I would love to see if the feature where you add a flight to follow you can have the option to make it everyday instead of having to re-add the flights again

Response from developer

Hi DrewAdam! This feature is already available in our app. 😊 Just select “Following” in the app, near the Playback option, then tap “+ Add Flight”, enter the flight number, select the flight, and tap “Follow.” That’s it! You can then keep the flight on your Following list without adding it again.

App doesn’t even open

Gets stuck in a loading screen

AirNav: Most frequent position updates

Works perfectly on my iPhone 14. Position updates frequently, there is an even-flow prediction on movement between updates.

Very incomplete

Have “used” the app for several months now. 95% of the time when there is an airplane directly overhead, and I pull up the app, there is no plane indicated for 20 miles. Kind of a useless app for me. It goes in the trash bin.

Cool

It’s a great upgrade from flight radar aside from the adds

Response from developer

Hello, thank you for the feedback! We’re glad you’re enjoying our flight tracker. If you’re still experiencing any issues with the ads, please email us at support@airnavradar.com so our team can look into it. ✈️

Nope. Lousy. No ATC

Won't allow you to listen to ATC for free even if you watch the ad. The ads loop even after playing through them.

Response from developer

Hello, Jypsurfs, that’s definitely not the experience we want you to have. Please email us at support@airnavradar.com with your device model and OS version so our team can investigate the ad loop and ATC access issue. Thanks for letting us know!

Good but bad

The ATC radio doesn’t work and it doesn’t have all the planes however flight radar 24 does

Response from developer

Hello, DJ@245, thanks for the feedback! We’re sorry the ATC radio isn’t working properly and that you’re not seeing all aircraft. Please email us at support@airnavradar.com with a few details about the issue, and our team will be happy to look into it.
