Very cool American Centric App
I subscribed because it’s a very cool and fun app. However it clearly is the classic USA is the centre of universe app. Canada data seems lacking and not well parsed if it’s there.
Not free
Website says you can view ACARS messages for free using Flightdeck but upon opening the app you are immediately prompted to purchase a subscription which costs $100 a year with only a 3 day trial. There is also an option for a $1000 sub, with not much info about what that actually includes. It’s cheaper to receive and decode messages yourself. I like the idea of this app but it’s been set up horribly

No way to test.
There's no way to try/test the app as you are forced into a paywall for a subscription before the app can even work.
Don’t want to try premium
Forcing me to try premium and no option to not try it and then won’t let me go full screen on iPad
Perfect
The app just really runs smoothly
Not free
I wanted to use this app bc i assumed it will be cool.. it would’ve been if it was free.. It's not free at all not even the "free" trial pls fix this I'm begging you... I wanna try it so bad
Bad
Absolutely horrible
Free please
For the love god please explain why the hell you think some random idiot would pay 60 damn bucks a year for a flight tracker when flight radar is already there and with the acar I’ve already found a free app will never use this piece of shoot that gets rid of storage for nothing
W Tracker
I am a small content creator, and having something this in-depth and detailed is very helpful I am also subbed to Aaron Rheins and LuxPlanes on YT.
Expensive
Lose the AI nonsense and make it less expensive for a subscription (or make it non subscription) and i might consider this.
Doesn’t offer anything different
Only picks up ACARS messages in the USA. Pointless for the rest of the world.
Paywall
Was looking forward to trying this app but I refuse to be forced into a sub. Terrible business model
not worth the money
The flight tracking is pretty bad and inaccurate. Lots of flights not appearing on this app that you can see on any other flight tracker. The UI is nice but there’s nothing special about this app other. When I first got it in July, I had so many notifications I just turned them off completely. I pretty much forgot about the app until a few minutes ago.
Not to mention their main social media strategy is to sensationalize tragic air accidents. Pretty tasteless.
Tried to request a refund but the app gives me an error.
if I were you, just get a paid version of Flightradar24.

Nice idea, feels vibe coded
Cool idea with the ACARS messages, but if Claude built a flight tracking app, this would be it.
The paywall was predictable, but even with the free trial the whole thing feels clunky and vibe coded, and the push notifications are way over the top.
Considering the company is hiring their first engineer and specifies “You will use AI heavily and know the current tools well”, I wouldn’t expect much else

App is a scam— a bunch of fraudsters
Bunch of gimmicks. Don’t walk, RUN AWAY. Promised 3-day free trial with ‘no gimmicks’. When I hit purchase to start the trial, they immediately charged my card the full yearly price. No trial whatsoever. Tried to get a refund and they denied it— twice. How Apple lets them advertise a free trial, charge full cost immediately with no recourse is beyond me. Do not believe or trust them no matter what they say or advertise because apparently they can say one thing and do another. I am beginning to not believe any app developers or trust the app store for fear of being charged then no refund!!

Forced sign up - app deleted
I’m not going to be forced into doing anything. Good bye.
It feels a bit Schadenfreude
I didn’t realize just how many notifications I’d get from all over the world. It feels a bit Schadenfreude with all the notifications showing flood-n-doom around the world.
However, some other aspects of the app are useful; but some still need work. It’s got great possibility! I’ll come back in year and try it again

No free version
You literally have to pay/subscribe to get access to the app at all. Even if it’s a free trial there’s a non-zero number of people who will forget. This is predatory
Pay to play
It’s a real shame there’s no freemium option here - being forced to pay on signup isn’t a nice experience, and the free trial is quite stingy at 2 days.
I’d recommend other apps like Flighty, which have a freemium offer and you can even pay as you go.

This is a scam
You need to pay money just to use it and 70$ a year highway robbery
