### 2/5 — Does not work right

*2025-06-20, version 2.3*

Goes blank 75% of the time.

### 2/5 — Error 1033 Argo Tunnel Error

This hasn’t been a most excellent App

### 3/5 — Issues?

*2023-06-23, version 2.3*

Can’t get past the Cloudflare authentication page. 
Seems to be a fairly recent bug.

### 4/5 — Military Freedar

*2023-01-01, version 2.1*

Quite a decent app but a couple of gripes. Every so often the app freezes on opening so you have to close it completely by swiping it off the screen. At the top right of the screen (in the green header band) there is a button to the right of the mail/message icon that appears to do nothing when pressed? Other than that it’s quite a good app to compliment a couple of others I have.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2022-09-14, version 2.1*

30 minutes ago I watched RAF planes fly over airport, did they show up on app - no they didn’t. As far as app is concerned there wasn’t one single military plane flying over north Scotland. Sadly would not recommend app

### 2/5 — This app is buggy and often offline

*2022-09-13, version 2.1*

It has gone from being an excellent app to one that I constantly get server errors appear. 
It all seems to have happened when there appeared to be a changing in ownership or design. 
Real shame was a get resource.

### 1/5 — To Slow

*2022-09-09, version 2.1*

Waste of space… or even air space!

### 4/5 — Seems to have improved a lot in the last few weeks

*2022-08-22, version 2.1*

Much improved app! I had a lot of trouble with this app when I first installed it and I found it was freezing a lot and I was constantly having to uninstall and re-install. However, it seems to have updated itself in the last few weeks, it has a “new look” although the basic functions are the same. It now loads quicker and it doesn’t freeze at all. Whatever the app developers have done, you’ve got it right.
People who are complaining they can’t see all planes….. this is not the fault of the app or if military planes not having their transponders turned on or off! Not all military aircraft can be “seen” by non military systems. If you think this app is actually a military app you are very much mistaken. The armed forces don’t necessarily want civilians to know where their aircraft are, where they’ve been or are going, for reasons which to anyone with a brain are surely obvious.

### 1/5 — Military Nodar?

*2022-08-11, version 2.1*

This is OK but living 15 miles from Marham and not much further from Lakenheath I don’t understand why the majority of keys on finals above my house aren’t actually shown!

### 4/5 — Great App

*2022-03-12, version 2.0*

Loads quickly in my iPad. Some good info and while it will understandably never show everything, there are for example plenty of Typhoons over Scotland and indeed loads of heavy stuff such as AWACS over Europe, regularly visible with the Ukraine campaign ongoing.

When I go on sometimes it shows nothing for months on end

Sometimes aircraft don’t show up on traditional apps but with this app I can usually see what’s above me owned by the military..

### 5/5 — Jon

*2023-09-21, version 2.3*

*2022-09-15, version 2.1*

Does the job……. Well

### 5/5 — Problems

*2022-08-02, version 2.1*

Sometimes the software seems to freeze. You see an aircraft in the morning and highlight it and it stays there all day. On the whole interesting app if you happen to see or hear military aircraft

### 5/5 — Great App

*2022-05-05, version 2.0*

Had no problems with the App works fine
Don’t see any reason to pay for an App when this is free and has the same coverage
Only problem is that some planes dont turn on their transponders i understand this could be for security reasons 
Summary 
Great app for the Air enthusiasts & Free

### 5/5 — Kate
