New feature «Follow» - to follow an Airplane on its path ### 1.6 — 2011-11-19 Added iPad-Fullscreen support Corrected issues that made the detail unreadable on Retina Displays Made the info-boxes and plane images bigger Added buttons for moving the camera up and down and for zooming in and out Added indicators to the menu-buttons to indicate active options. ### 1.5 — 2010-12-14 Added two new features: - The planes now show their Flight-Number above the plane (hit «Labels» to toggle this) - The planes leave a «Trail» behind them so you can see their path better (hit «Trail» to toggle this) - The planes now move constantly according to their speed. This is an approximate move only, though. When the data is refreshed, «hops» might occur when the direction of the plane is updated. Bugfixes: The detail-information for a plane sometimes indicated the airport name where it should display the carrier (which most likely lead to app crashes, too) - fixed Airplane model is more compressed now, so the app shouldn't slow down that much on older devices anymore even when there are a lot of planes present (ADVICE FOR USERS WITH OLDER DEVICES - 3G and lower: don't expect any miracles. When there a lot of planes on the screen, the app might still be slow). ### 1.1 — 2010-05-18 Bugfix: Application crashed under certain conditions when loading Airplane details. Some minor changes for the navigation: - the camera can't be moved under the map anymore - the camera stays focused on the selected plane, when the details are closed ## Apps similar to Flight Tracker ZRH | App | Rating | Price | Category | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | [Sky Scope: Aviation](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/sky-scope-aviation/id6746826893) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Entertainment | | [AUTOCITY Emil Frey Zürich Nord](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/autocity-emil-frey-zurich-nord/id6474762778) | — | Free | Entertainment | | [iWon - Post Wager Winnings](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/iwon-post-wager-winnings/id1661550025) | — | Free | Entertainment | | [One Million Digits of Pi](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/one-million-digits-of-pi/id6746684734) | 5.0 (1) | Free | Entertainment | | [Vision Television Network](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/vision-television-network/id6746164117) | 5.0 (2) | Free | Entertainment | | [Christmas Clock](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/christmas-clock/id481479125) | — | $1.99 | Entertainment | ## More apps by Urs Brauchli - [crowdlight](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/crowdlight/id605014185) - [Radio Rasa](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/radio-rasa/id645399231) - [Kauz](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/kauz/id1440367850) All apps by Urs Brauchli: https://appshunter.io/developer/319576818 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
