If the app isn’t finished lower the price. ### 3/5 — Good introduction to app. *2026-07-27* Hello I really like how you made the introduction to the app nice but the there is the free trial that you can not skip Qatar airways Airbus A350-941 ### 3/5 — Money? *2026-07-25* İt looks good but why make it paid? Just make it free but make it so that you need to pay for certain features. I would give 5 stars but i cant bc it’s paid and i couldnt see how it is. ### 2/5 — Advertised wrong *2026-07-16* Says free but only a 3 day free trial then have to pay weekly to use. Only usable for people who can pay weekly. ### 3/5 — I’ll check back in a few years *2026-07-16* The app has some nice features, but the ACARS only shows one pilot message per flight, not all of the messages as advertised. There is some AI assistance for describing ATC actions which are incorrect. It has potential once the bugs are worked out, but it’s not worth the price at this point. ### 1/5 — Stupid *2026-07-15* Stupid unless you even pay for the app you need to pay for it to even use it. It’s so stupid even the free trial. I don’t want freight trial. I just wanna see the app. I don’t wanna pay money. I just want the app at least if you’re gonna do this, make it cost money to download and then a certain amount of time like after a month probably it will ask you for your subscription. ### 1/5 — Price *2026-07-15, version 2.2.1* The app itself is pretty good. However, the price is insane! 70$ for the year? Would rather use the horrible free apps then have to pay to use. Unbelievable ### 2/5 — Insane subscription price *2026-07-13* I’m just gonna put it out there, there’s no way in the universe maintenance and costs on this app match the 17 whole dollars a week charge. A subscription like this is usually like 3 bucks a month for what they’re offering. I would like to congratulate whoever invested in this app, and whoever owns it, on getting probably the fattest profit margins out there. Although the biggest market for this, the average aviation enthusiast and travellers from the middle class, cannot afford this in their budget, and therefore I think this app is missing out on its prime market. A free trail is nice, but only a couple days of it really doesn’t let you gauge the app, let alone consider the worth of the apps subscription. The visuals are still cool though I won’t say anything bad on that ### 1/5 — You have to pay *2026-07-12* Why do you have to pay for something for a 3 day trail at least do it for a month, unbelievable. ### 2/5 — Basically a paid version of free flight radar *2026-07-11* The 1 feature that makes this app stand out is the ACARS messages but basically every other feature is as good or worse than flight radar. The ui is a bit buggy and a bit tacky. Also there is no free version at all you have to pay just make the app paid at that point… don’t waste your time just get flight radar and deal with some ads. ### 1/5 — Never deleted an app faster *2026-07-11, version 2.2.1* Gotta pay to even think about using this app. Who do y’all think y’all are? At least make it free with ads for Christ sake ### 1/5 — make it free *2026-07-06, version 2.2.1* pls ### 1/5 — Ridiculous *2026-07-06* Why do I have to pay like flight radar have a choice if you want better stuff you pay if you don't you don't. Forget the acar ( I think that's what it's called) im just using flight radar ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Waste of my time *2026-07-27* I’m a frequent traveler and saw this app advertised on social media. From the very installation of the app, I had nothing but issues with it. Just name a few are the fact that it is unable to search for flights using flight number or airline, I was unable to change any of the map settings, so we’re stuck with a default map with no topography or any other feature, and the entire experience left me feeling this is one of the worst apps. I have downloaded in years. Instant cancellation from me. ### 1/5 — Sad *2026-07-19, version 2.2.1* Why spend money ### 1/5 — Free trial *2026-07-19* Why do you have to do the 3 day free trial. What if you don’t want to. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t see it for myself *2026-07-18* A lot of YouTubers have been talking about the acars messages, so I wanted to try it for myself, buuuut it wants me to subscribe to the paid subscription. I’ll stick to flightradar. ### 1/5 — Not ready *2026-07-18, version 2.2.1* Overall this is a pretty poorly written app. Maybe a $9.99/ year app… certainly not $70. It’s a money grab. Stay away. ### 1/5 — No way to use without trial or sub *2026-07-17, version 2.2.1* Makes you sub, no free or no pay option to start. Free trial sub required to continue ### 1/5 — Not recommended! *2026-07-17* See, I dream to be a pilot one day and was really excited to get this app. Turns out I have to pay. The prices are crazy, the free trial still needs a credit card, and there are NO free features. I live in a rural town in the Philippines, and barely have enough money to live and eat. This phone, is an iPhone 6. Such a shame. ### 1/5 — Spent $100 on the subscription. will no longer open. *2026-07-17* I used this app for a month and paid for the year. It stopped working but i was still receiving notifications from it. I just recently re-downloaded it. I cannot retrieve my subscription. App was good. Just a waste of $100. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-07-16, version 2.2.1* Slob ### 1/5 — The 3day free flight deck buy thingy *2026-07-16, version 2.2.1* When I tried to buy the free FlightDeck 3 days it just kept going up and down while gray would not load ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Brilliant *2026-07-28* I love the arcar messages and can listen to stuff like London center just a brilliant app in my opinion ### 5/5 — So good *2026-07-27* This is like flight radar but with more features sooooo good ### 5/5 — Paying *2026-07-16* I wanted that for free ### 5/5 — GET IT NOW *2026-07-15, version 2.2.1* got into planes for fun- and WOW i literally am so impressed. this app covers the smallest details to insane news! it is so cool. highly recommend!! ### 5/5 — I just got into the app *2026-07-15* I just got into the app and it gave me a trail, I don’t know how to get off the trail cuz I don’t want to do it, so I can’t use the app ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-07-09, version 2.2.1* 100% the best flight tracker app ### 5/5 — Good *2026-07-03, version 2.2.1* Good ### 5/5 — Overpriced *2026-07-01* I’m loving the app with the free trial but £12.99 weekly is insane. ### 5/5 — Jacob *2026-06-29, version 2.2.1* good s ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-06-28, version 2.2.1* The UI is just wonderful everything is so smooth and just flows --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
