Please reach out to me at info@planetracker.co to see if we can unpack this problem ### 1/5 — Free Lifetime Promo DISAPPEARED *2023-12-21* This app worked well the first time I tried it. Then it updated and never worked again. Even worse there’s no way to restore the promo again (apple store purchase). I dont care about it anymore because who would. ### 5/5 — Must have if you like tracking aircrafts *2023-12-12* I live near by the fly path. Always want to catch up the aircraft photos. This app gives me the accurate information of what airline and type of aircraft near me for me to prepare my DSLR camera. I catch many good aircraft photos because the information provided by this app. A must have if live aircraft’s. ### 1/5 — Does not provide any useful information. *2023-12-04* Every flight is labeled “Private flight. Information on this flight is not publicly available.” **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. I just released version 1.32 which resolves this issue! ### 5/5 — Nice! *2023-12-04* This app is pretty cool! It’s amazing how many flights are in the sky at one time. I love that you can see where the flights are going as well. Great Job on this! **Developer response:** Thank you for the positive feedback! ### 2/5 — Cool concept poor execution *2023-12-04* It’s a neat idea but boils down to just a gimmick not executed very well. The app runs great and does show aircraft around your location, however, every aircraft is listed as private. You don’t get any information other than registration number of the plane. Not very useful. If I had paid for this app I’d have been mad. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback. I just released version 1.32 which resolves this issue! ### 1/5 — DON’T BOTHER!!!! *2023-12-02* I was enticed by the “free lifetime “ subscription today. Dec 2, 2023. Downloaded it. Every single plane that is in my area… shows as “private”…. Even though the MAJORITY of the planes are COMMERCIAL. TOTAL FAIL I even turned off my VPN thinking maybe that’s it? Nope! I went to get help/instructions and it sends you to the web developers site… and NOTHING to do with AVIATION. Thankfully… I have a much better flight tracker… “Flightradar24”. I pay to see the details of the aircraft’s that are nearby and far away also. I was curious to see if this new app would be just as great. I’d even would have gotten rid of the Flightradar24 if this app would’ve been outstanding. It’s massively failed. I live very close to a very busy airport. Not one plane would identify .. only as “Private”. Which when I cross referenced w/my other app… the planes are truly commercial. Pls don’t waste your time or your energy on this app. ### 1/5 — Appavise not free *2023-12-02* I thought this was great! I downloaded the app from AppAdvice and I could not get it free. I followed the directions was bummed. I really wanted it but only for free. You may want to consider changing your ad in AppAdvice. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, will consider this next go-round ### 1/5 — Can’t find planes. *2023-12-02* I’ve given the app permission to get my location while using the app, and I live in a heavy flight area, but it says “0 planes nearby”. Fail! **Developer response:** The app had a ton of traffic over the weekend and it caused the servers to crash :/ But this should be resolved now with the latest update to the app, I welcome you to give it a whirl ## Frequently asked questions about AR Planes ### What does the AR Planes app do?
