Excellent app

This is a good app to have if ( like me ) you’re a taxi driver

Very good

This app is very good I like it as a young a geek

Cool app

I can see planes at any time and see were they are

Can’t see plane

I’ve signed up for premium Plane Finder/flight tracker today to follow my husband from Danang to Hong Kong and the flight can’t be found, what is the use in signing up for premium?

So amazing 🤩

i can track so many fights.

I love this app

This is my favourite app because it has a lot of cool features

Adore this app HUGELY RECOMMEND

I am a flying fan and former PPL and our son is now an airline pilot. So although there’s flying in our blood there doesn’t have to be to enjoy plane finder. My son and I have used it since it first launched and he was a teenager declaring ‘I need to fly’ (know the feeling): but my teenage Goddaughter adores it to - for the geography, learning, fabulous way to see the world and simple WOW! Factor. Thank you plane finder!

Update mess

The icon on the top right of the screen to identify an aircraft with its origin and destination disappeared. I presume from an update. I’d like to update the updaters home and move all their toilet paper in their house to the garage. Just because.

Best

This is the best app

What happened to this app?

Took away ability to look up and see specific flights on map.

Ads are so bad. Not usable

In a hurry to look something up? Better wait for all the ads.

A good website just has some flaws.

Plane Finder is a good website for those plane crazy or even those who aren’t plane enthusiasts (like me) just heads up they will ask you to sign in a lot and use premium.

Wonderful

Best $20 a year you can spend!

Love where it’s headed, but just needs a little work.

Would like to see an evening / night time sky with city lights (if possible) for the 3D map. Would also love an update on the aircraft types and liveries (most AC types are not accurate, such as, for example, the 777 series displays more of a 332 model in 3D map)

Thanks, happy flights.

Edited: thanks for the update aircraft! , hope to see more updated aircraft models, and more liveries! 737Max and BCS type aircraft.

Is it possible to rework the B777, and trim the edges just a bit? It looks like the A359 series.

Thanks.

Downgraded again

The positive with this app over some others is the ability to click on just military, for instance. Others need more actions for the same detail. The negatives are building however. Now there’s a ‘new improved’ pop up blob on the lower left of the screen appearing if I happen to touch anything but an aircraft for more info. Didn’t do that before - or it seemed far less intrusive at least. If there was a settings option I’d hide that. Also, as has been the case for a few years, Flight Radar 24 (as an example) has far more aircraft identified than this. To be honest, a big reason I stuck with this app is the reduced legacy rate and the assumption that if I ended subs and re-applied at a later date, the annual/monthly cost might likely be higher.

Ahead of the competition

After sometime using this app, it is miles better than FR24 and more importantly free users are valued just as much as premium users when it comes to basic functionality; this is something that FR24 has now neglected as of recent. I have had no regrets making this switch and actually enjoyed the more intuitive UI and smoother flight tracking.

Love this app to bits and pieces!

This is the very best example of a third party iOS app! Ridiculously good, worth every penny!!

Good App for tracking flight realtime

Very good app for tracking flight real time

Adverts and money

Too many adverts and notifications about paying for extras

Apologies we had a large scale Cyber attack on this day and it took us a little time to restore normal service later on the same day. Please reach out to us at support@planefinder.net so we can help you if needed.
