When trying to enter the email address to login it says please enter a valid email when it is. Maybe they only accept emails from .com? **Developer response:** Dear LibertyAll - When it ask for an email address to login it is assuming that you already have an account or a MyFlightDept account. If you have not registered before it will not recognize the email. .com or otherwise. Hope this was helpful. ### 1/5 — Does nothing if you don’t register! *2023-02-08* Literally can’t move off the “registration” screen. I like to browse an app before giving it all my personal contact info. Please put something in there for real functionality to show capability, otherwise you’re losing many potential users! That or just get rid of the “continue as guest” option. Deleting this app until I get a meaningful reply and a change is made. Controller and Trade-A-Plane allow guest users to browse without registering… **Developer response:** Just tap on “I’ll registerer later” and you are allowed to look at all the magazines and all the aircraft. App is Free. Thanks for reaching out! ### 1/5 — Terrible App *2022-08-03, version 1.8.0* Terrible App ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2021-12-22, version 1.8.0* This app is absolute trash. It’s the least functioning, least user-friendly garbage in the App Store. ### 1/5 — Not good at all *2021-10-18* I tried the app since there are not many airplane apps in the market but I didn’t like it at all If you want to be successful please try to make it different and don’t force the user to register or enter information to be able to contact the seller… Anyways good luck with the project I really wish you luck ### 1/5 — BORING *2021-03-09, version 1.8.0* What do you do what do you do ### 1/5 — good luck finding anything *2021-02-06, version 1.8.0* This interface is awful. Filter mechanism is nonexistent. Please update using regular combo boxes and CSS grid. “Flipping” through featured content is absolutely horrible. ### 1/5 — Absolutely horrible app experience *2021-01-29* EDIT: Response to author: I can’t understand why you would NOT want to make it like buying a car. There are many many different sizes, models, features, prices, etc etc of planes that one could choose from...just like a car. Yes I used the app. The magazine flipping thing is so ridiculous. Why do I want to go through 30 listings of planes(even though it’s the same “type” of plane, that are 3-4 times my price range? Who wants to look at 30-40 ads that are 100% IRRELEVANT before getting to a single ad that makes sense. Absurd. No logical flow, not intuitive whatsoever. Imagine if you were trying to purchase a car and went on this app. Now imagine that you selected a four-door sedan, and instead of having additional filters like Price for example, you just have to scroll through every .... single ....listing. The only filter you can place besides type of plane, is a keyword search. I find this app utterly useless. If I’m looking for a specific plan within a specific price range or with certain features, it’s not possible to locate unless you sift through all ads!!! Who thought I’d this? On top of that the app keeps glitching! Have you guys ever actually used your app??? **Developer response:** Dear Jon, I believe that you might have jumped the gun just a bit. We do let you arrange aircraft by type ie Jet, Singles, etc... Those are what we call Magazines. Once inside a specific class of aircraft you can then arrange by specific model by either tapping in the name of the aircraft or doing an actual search. The one thing we definitely were try to accomplish was to not make an app like a car app. Your comment regarding scrolling leads me to believe that you were not using the app. Our app uses flipping technologylike a real magazine. 44,000 others would agree that we’ve done a great job. Thanks for the feedback. ### 2/5 — Terrible! *2021-01-22, version 1.8.0* Why would you get an app that won’t let you search with specific criteria, I don’t care about the 300k airplanes I can’t afford. ### 4/5 — Review *2020-10-31, version 1.8.0* You could add a little bit more planes but otherwise everything’s great. ### 4/5 — Great app!👍🏾😄 *2020-09-02* I’m giving it 4 stars cause you have to register to like the planes and it’s really annoying but on the other hand I love this app because It’s just like a magazine! Also I’m too poor to afford a plane lol ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — AI BS!!! *2026-01-26, version 2.2.3* SCAM!!! DO NOT SHARE YOUR INFORMATION!!! AI INFO BOT!!! ### 1/5 — Can’t search and ads *2025-12-21* There are just as many ads as there are airplanes and you can’t sort by MacroModel so you have to literally scroll through every single listing, but every other page is an ad. ### 1/5 — Error 400 *2024-12-12* Tried seven time to register and kept getting this error with no attempt at providing a resolution link. App is not well designed if you can’t even register so I’ll just move on to a more competent devaloper. ### 1/5 — Can’t log in. *2024-11-18, version 2.0* With the new update an email with an .au prefix can’t log in now ### 1/5 — Erro código 400 *2024-11-10, version 2.0* Impossível fazer o registro, sempre aparece erro com o código 400 ### 1/5 — Não consegui criar uma conta *2024-11-05, version 2.0* Na etapa de completar o registro, simplesmente dá erro, “Código de Status: 400” e não consigo usar o app. Caso arrumem isso, mudo a avaliação. ### 1/5 — Good planes *2024-01-15, version 1.8.0* I like these planes and the variety also I believe this is a game where you buy real planes for anyone who is curious but I might be wrong but overall it’s a really well designed app and is really good ### 1/5 — Not for searching *2023-12-22* This is set up for the user to browse planes the way you might browse through a magazine in a waiting room. As others have noted, if you want to search purposefully for planes of a specific type, be prepared for some frustration and dead ends. It isn't set up to do this in any intuitive way. ### 1/5 — Muy difícil *2023-08-22, version 1.8.0* Cada que entro a la aplicación me pide NUEVO REGISTRO ### 1/5 — How to fly *2023-03-04, version 1.8.0* How do you fly in this game ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Aircraft Market *2025-11-03* This app is a fantastic way to stay updated with all the new aircraft that come to market. Along with Aviation News at your fingertips, it’s very easy to navigate and I use it very frequently to stay updated with the latest. ### 5/5 — Best Aircraft Marketplace *2025-11-03* This app has made my search for a new aircraft a breeze and fun to do. Great layout and easy to navigate and has up to date news in avaition! ### 5/5 — Love the News *2025-10-22* I’ve been using the app for years and they recently added the news and stories. Love it! **Developer response:** Thank you for your review and glad you enjoy the app ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2025-10-03* This app is the best for listing aircraft for sale and browsing available listings. It’s easy to navigate, and I use it frequently, almost every day! ### 5/5 — Awesome way to search *2022-08-04* Very impressed with the app. Awesome scroll feature and makes it super easy to keep track! ### 5/5 — ❤️🙏❤️ *2021-06-22, version 1.8.0* ❤️🙏❤️ ### 5/5 — Great app for all Aircraft buyers *2021-02-03, version 1.8.0* Thanks for building Jeff & team! ### 5/5 — Great *2019-11-23, version 1.6.8* Great app you can find any plane you want. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2019-02-22* This is a great app for those looking to buy an aircraft. The magazine format is a neat feature! ### 5/5 — Very useful and helpful app *2019-02-01* I am working in the Asia and the Pacific Region. Airplanes are quickly becoming critical tool to perform various duties in private and government sectors. However this App is very essential to facilitate market for seller and buyers. This App is really a good partner for international airplane market. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
