Good app but could use 2 feature
1) Select planes from photo library
Right now, if I want to add a previously spotted plane, I have to open the photo on another device and take a photo of the photo. I don’t want to go through that hassle. Please add select from photo library instead of direct camera.
2) needs better flight data
It only shows a small percent of the real flights in your area (fr24 shows waaaay more planes)
Overall it’s a good app but could use these two features.
The best
Response from developer
Thanks Bryson! That's exactly what we built it for. Happy spotting over your house!
Great app
Response from developer
Glad you're enjoying it. You're right about the ad timing though. We should show the limit before you hit it, not after. We'll get that sorted. Edit - This is now resolved. Thanks for the feedback.
Cool idea, some flaws
Response from developer
Thanks for the feedback, glad you like the idea of the app! The main focus is the spotting experience, using the camera to catch and identify aircraft in real life. The map is more of a lightweight view of what's nearby. FR24 has a much more extensive and realtime dataset, so I'd actually recommend using both together. This app is designed more around the "spot and log" experience rather than full flight tracking.
Good but
Response from developer
Totally fair question on pricing. The app relies on live flight data processing, which have ongoing recurring costs behind the scenes, so subscriptions keep the app running. That said, I'm currently exploring more flexible options like day and weekly passes as well, so you can just pay when you're actively using it 👍
