User reviews

Spams you with notifications to buy their premium subscription

The app could have potential if it wouldn't be consumed by the greed of the developers. It looks nice and better than Volanta but the tracking of the flight on the map is bad. Each time I leave the app on my iphone/ipad it loses track of my plane on the map. It reconnect when i come back but it just draws a straight line as the path which just looks awful (where for example Volanta tracks you without problems)
In addition if you have notifications enabled to for example get infos once atc says something, the app will spam you every 5 minutes with "Unlock Peak" (their subscription) even when not using the app so you basically either have to turn them off completely or turn them on and off each time you stop using the app. Shame that the greed here took over. And I'm not even going to start talking about the absurd pricing of their subscription. Even Sayintentions is cheaper and looks like a steal compared to this.

Free app, not so free features

To download the app is entirely free, however the second you get it connected to your sim you find out that nearly all of its useful features are locked behind a paywall. Even to see your total hours flown is behind a paywall. You’re better off with Volanta for flight tracking, and without the remote control features this app is completely pointless.

Revolutionary

This might be the best idea I’ve seen for flight sim ever. And the app is designed super clean so it’s super fun to interact with
