### 2/5 — No aircraft!

*2024-10-11, version 2.6*

I’m not seeing any aircraft even though my location is correctly shown.

### 3/5 — Review

*2024-08-12, version 2.6*

Doesn’t show all military

### 2/5 — Lost the love

*2023-08-12, version 2.6*

Me and my husband are huge fans of Freedar but we have not had the ability to click to see information on planes as it goes blank and you have to go out of the ap to come back in again. However. We know and appreciate everyone working on Freedar does so in their free time without pay.

### 2/5 — Will not connect over 4g

*2023-06-24, version 2.6*

This app used to work well and I could use it for identifying any aircraft flying overhead. Now I just keep being asked to click the “verify I’m not a robot” button and nothing… Only works over Wi-Fi, a bit useless for using when at an airport threshold

### 5/5 — No planes

*2022-08-13, version 2.4*

Most of the time no planes are visible on the app even with planes flying over head

### 2/5 — Ok app

*2022-06-20, version 2.3*

The app used to show the uk police helicopters but for some reason they dont show them any more

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2022-02-07, version 2.3*

I now know everything about the aircraft flying above in the South East. I’ve muddled my way throughout the App, and it’s so USER FRIENDLY, now I’ve got the hang of it. After trying so many other useless similarApps, this is so good.

### 4/5 — Freedar.uk

*2021-09-02, version 2.3*

Why has the radio transmission feature disappeared from the app please? They are putting up a window saying the latest version 7 is available from Google Play, why do I need to get it from there when I already have the Apple App store.

### 1/5 — Constantly freezing

*2021-07-26, version 2.3*

Use for more than a couple of minutes and it just freezes.  If you close then reopen all the planes are packed together in a big cluster in the middle of southern England and it’s impossible to click on any of the buttons at all.
When you are able to use it it you select a plane you then can’t de-select it without selecting another plane.
Non military planes used for training purposes still appear in green.
Poor show!

### 1/5 — Was good now poor

*2021-07-10, version 2.3*

Used to be good, now takes ages to load if at all then when it does load only displays some and not all aircraft like it used to. I have deleted it and re-installed hoping to cure it but it doesn’t.

### 1/5 — ..

*2025-08-19, version 2.6*

Just says bad hate way

### 1/5 — Bad Gateway … App not working

*2025-08-16, version 2.6*

Despite re-installing this app it still does not connect to its server so is completely useless. Such a shame as it used to be excellent.

### 1/5 — Rubbish app

*2024-07-05, version 2.6*

Shows no planes anywhere. Just had a Typhoon fly over the house. Radar shows nothing! Waste of time loading

### 1/5 — Just Doesn’t Work

*2024-01-27, version 2.6*

Doesn’t recognise my location or show any nearby aircraft

### 1/5 — Unreliable

*2023-10-06, version 2.6*

It is fine when working, but it's something of a lottery to get it working. You can see multiple aircraft in the sky, but Freedar shows none, civilian or military. Yes, it's free, but that's irrelevant if it doesn't work.

### 1/5 — No longer works

*2023-08-25, version 2.6*

It has had its glitches over time but it was okay.  Now it no longer appears to work.  Just get an error message.

### 1/5 — No longer opens

*2023-06-23, version 2.6*

Since iOS 16.5.2 this app no longer works. Gets stuck on the checking you are human page.

### 1/5 — Worked fine then white screen issue

*2023-06-23, version 2.6*

The app worked fine for a few months without any issues with the exception of occasional freezing. But from two days ago when I open the app, all I get is a white screen saying that it is verifying the security of my connection, with a cloudfair tick box to prove I’m not a bot. On clicking this it goes through a cycle of assessment and then back to the same screen over and over. 
I have deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times and have the same result. I’ll keep trying for a day then I’ll delete for good

### 1/5 — Not a happy aircraft spotter...

*2023-06-10, version 2.6*

Note this review has been updated.
I have been using it for a few years and it has been flawless on both my iPhone and iPad. Five stars for the iPhone version. One star for the iPad version. The latest update requires iOS 14.0.x and above. I am unable to access it on my iPad Air2. Since Thursday morning [01/06/2023] I launch it and screen goes white for a second, then returns to the applications screen. I have de-installed it and re-installed it. The App Store prompts me to install the last known compatible version [which I have done] and does the same as above.
I have logged an incident with the support team and are looking into it. 
The iPad version was perfect as you are viewing a bigger display screen.

### 1/5 — App no longer working?

*2023-05-07, version 2.4*

It seems this app no longer works? 

Uninstalled and reinstalled and still nothing.

### 5/5 — Aircraft tracking

*2025-02-19, version 2.6*

This app is awesome

### 5/5 — Extremely useful App

*2025-02-07, version 2.6*

I have just deleted and reinstalled as was having issues probably due to an old version - issues with the App not personally :-)
Back to “normal” now.
I love this App, have used it for years. I live close to a couple of military airfields and it’s interesting to identify the aircraft flying over.

### 5/5 — Locked out

*2024-07-17, version 2.6*

Usually a great website 5 star but why would I be temporarily locked out of this service due to a rate limit? Error 1015 
I want to know what I can hear above my head :) Thanks

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2024-06-12, version 2.6*

Useful tool

### 5/5 — Great app works well

*2023-06-28, version 2.6*

*2023-06-17, version 2.6*

Love it.
Thank you.

### 5/5 — Freeware

*2023-06-11, version 2.6*

I find it’s what I want/need as a longtime air spotter,there isn’t much else to say,,,

### 5/5 — Freedar

*2023-04-20, version 2.4*

Great app

### 5/5 — Review

*2022-10-18, version 2.4*

Brill but slower than Flightradar24

*2022-09-12, version 2.4*

Living not to far away from RAF Valley. Lots of activity overhead but unfortunately very little shown on Freedar.uk .
