Doesn’t see a session running. **Developer response:** Hi, I am sorry to hear, which flight simulator are you using ? You can send an email to support@fsxfollow.com and we will assist you ### 2/5 — Not as good as it used to be. *2018-09-25* I used to love this app! I do most of my simulator flying in Northern B.C., bush flying and this app was ideal as it gives me a moving map as close as I need. Now it hardly ever works and doesn’t have the google earth detail that it used to. Sorry. Just isn’t that good anymore. **Developer response:** Hi, which version of FSX are you using? What kind of problems do you encounter? ### 2/5 — Missing most of the outlined features *2018-03-30* There is a moving map in 2D or 3D and basic information about airports, but no visible navaids, no route shown on map, cockpit view fails and auto zoom only seems to work in 3D. Practice approaches work. Given the price it is ok for a moving map, but don’t expect much from the other components, nor help from the developer as my request for help was ignored. Shame, as the app does have potential. ### 4/5 — Good app! *2017-08-31* Brilliant little app for your flightsim. Works just the way it should and ideal for keeping an eye on your long haul flights as well as practicing approaches etc. Good and quick support if it's not working as it should. ### 4/5 — Great App *2016-06-10* I really have enjoyed using FSX follow since 2014, but now can't connect. I want to contact Support but their contact form is inaccessible. If someone from Position Games sees this please fix you contact us page so we can contact you for support. Thanks. ### 1/5 — Not useful *2015-08-26, version 3.41* Why do you need to have this when you have some free applications such as vatmap? This should be free too. ### 1/5 — Terrible - doesn't work- don't waste your $$$ *2015-04-29, version 3.30* this all does not work at all- there are no instructions on how to get t to work- thought I would try it for a couple $ . Don't waster your money- learn from my mistake. ### 3/5 — Geht so *2015-03-20* Also es ist eine gute Ergänzung, habe auch erst darauf kommen müssen zusätzlich den Pc Client Zu laden und so aber noch schlimmer war es bei mir das mit dem Anzeigen der Screenshot zu verstehen. Für die , die auch Probleme damit haben, einfach die Option mit "Set Session Name" auslassen , so das nur der Name des Flugzeuges drin steht bzw. blank lassen! Aber was ich noch nicht verstehen kann und wahrscheinlich nie verstehen und akzeptieren werde ist, warum zu Teufel die untere und obere Leiste nicht in hide geht und die Sicht oder den Screenshot voll verkackt. Wäre echt schön das der nächste Update evtl. solche doch wichtige Kleinig keiten behebt. Danke ! ### 1/5 — Complete Crap *2015-03-17* If you could rate it with no stars I would.. That's what it deserves!!! Doesn't work!! When you go to tech support on their website it is non-existent and they don't reply to emails!!! DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2015-01-19, version 3.21* Never works properly And boring ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Don’t Buy *2021-02-03* Very bad Phone and Desktop App. No recommendation. ### 1/5 — MSFS 2020 support *2021-01-19* I purchased this app to provide so added information to the flight simulator without having to drill down or trying to use a control with the mouse. The pc component downloaded and seemed to communicate with MSFS 2020. I was unable to get the iPad app to connect to it. The help files were more a history of flight simulation. I could not find any help on their site or with any Google searches. **Developer response:** I am sorry to hear you are not happy with the product . As for the website, we are currently in a process of rebuilding. If you sent an email to support@positiongames.com we will help you step by step ### 1/5 — No PC Client available *2018-06-27* So I downloaded this software only for it to not work as I cannot find a copy of the PC client at FSXfollow! I’d like my money back! Not a single reply from the developers of this product, very poor service, Apple you should be ashamed to have this product in your App Store. **Developer response:** You can download the free client at http://positiongames.com ### 1/5 — Ist das Geld nicht wert. *2018-04-20* Viel Bla Bla und nichts funktioniert. Besser Finger weg ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2018-01-21* The client and the app are constantly crashing, as well as having a poor app design and displaying unreliable information. ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2018-01-17* Hat vor Jahren nicht geklappt, seitdem keine weitere Entwicklung **Developer response:** We just released an update ### 1/5 — Funktioniert nicht *2018-01-12* Zeigt verbindung mit dem fsx an und dann passiert nix mehr. Keine anleitung verfügbar und nur spärliche Hinweise auf der Homepage. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE JUST HORRIBLE *2017-09-22, version 2017.5* Doesn’t even work..Waste of money don’t buy it.this is such a scam ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2017-09-10* It simply doesn't work. Downloaded and followed the directions, downloaded the software to my PC, no nothing. Won't connect, wont allow me to create a password, no drop down menu, none of the things the help menu tells me to do are there. Could be its not compatible with Windows 10 but if that's the case , they should have said so. Glad it was not three dollars, at least I didn't lose much, but it was a loss of three dollars. It just doesn't work AT ALL. Not even a little bit. ### 1/5 — Warning *2017-01-09, version 2016.1* This app is horrible. A pure waste of money, just a trap to get money. The computer interface is horrible and the app is worse don't make the same mistake as me, don't get this app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is a great Flight Sim companion *2020-08-16* Having this app with FSX is great. The maps allow you to flight between places without instruments. And the support is excellent. Well worth it. ### 5/5 — Amazing App and customer support from Jeroen! *2019-12-29* I purchased a few years back Fsx follow in the App Store iOS and Microsoft store. The program was very easy to set up and use. Suddenly it stopped working! Finally I noticed it was back, however I use FSX boxed. The app only worked with steam. I contacted support and Jaroen sent me a response within 24 hours that he would work on a fix. A few days later, I was contacted by Jeroen. They sent me a link for fsx boxed. It worked immediately. So many new features! radar, 3d and 2 d map tracker, cockpit views, airports etc. love the app. I even sent in a small donation for his efforts. I would recommend to anyone who wants a fun app that works great with fsx! Other formats are available. Thank you ver6 much Jeroen! Follow up. I converted to Prepar3d v4.5 and the program and app work flawlessly! I use it every day! Worth every penny and much more! Jargon, thanks again for making a great product! ### 5/5 — Very good program! *2019-09-01* It takes a little effort to get it running for the first time, but with support from the friendly APP developer, I made it. The APP shows a lot of features for flight simulation, which are very useful. For this price, you get a very good program, and the support from the developer is excellent. ### 5/5 — Flight Sim Tools complete *2017-08-23* Has the lot, works a treat. ### 5/5 — Must have App *2017-01-08* Initially I could not get connection between iPad and fsx on computer. I was advised to use updated client and all is now well. If you use fsx then get this app. Worth the money. ### 5/5 — Great App, first class support *2016-12-13* I've been looking for some FSX apps for a while. This ticks all the boxes. You can follow your plane, see the AI traffic even control it remotely. AND all without a hit on frame-rates. I had a problem connecting the freeclient software, but the excellent and rapid support at positiongames sorted it out straight away. First class. ### 5/5 — Great app.... But *2016-03-28* Great app just one problem tho... As its getting more popular when at the bottom of the list of aircraft you can't select it as the menu is in the way.. Are you able to resolve? Many thanks :-) ### 5/5 — Fantastic software and app! Improvements would make it even better *2015-10-24* For a while I have been thinking about how I could track myself on flight radar like I can with real aircraft on FR24 and Plane finder. When I found this on the internet I was very sceptical about it actually working, but to my surprise it does, and it works very well. Very pleased with how it works and how accurate it actually is, I fly small executive jets and turboprops around the UK and to track myself on what seems to be very similar to FR24 is awesome. Although I can see a lot of room for improvement. 1. When I zoom into an aircraft it will get rid of the line of where it has came from which is very annoying as I like to zoom in to see where I am on the radar and then I like to see the hole flight. If they could just fix it so it does keep to hole flight line when I zoom in and out it would be great! 2. When you click on a plane to look out it only starts the red flight line from where you clicked on it it does not show where it has come from and the hole root and from when you start looking at it which I find very annoying. 3. It only tells you the altitude and position of the aircraft not the type, I think it would be great to be able to see what type of aircraft it is. 4. Layout. I think it would be much better if they laid it out like FR24 does, so when you click on and aircraft it shows the whole flight line, aircraft type, speed, height, departure and destination point, registration and call sign( of course the user will put all this information in) and also to show all the aircraft on one map would be cool and also have the flight line in different colours for the different stages like in FR24 so on the climb out it goes from White to yellow to green to red to purple depending on how high they are. I think with these improvements it will be a absolutely amazing. But even at the point it is at now it is amazing software and app and does deserve 5 star for all the work gone into it. Thank you very much developers!! ### 5/5 — Sim flyer *2015-08-24* Very helpful app, very nice to check your location during flight when not in a familiar area 👍 ### 5/5 — Klasse app *2015-08-08* Der app tut was es verspricht.
