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. ### 2/5 — Downgraded again *2026-08-14, version 2026.5.1* 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. ### 5/5 — Good App for tracking flight realtime *2026-08-13* Very good app for tracking flight real time ### 3/5 — Adverts and money *2026-08-12, version 2026.5.0* Too many adverts and notifications about paying for extras ### 2/5 — Downgraded again *2026-08-12* The positive with this app over some others is the ability to click on just military, for instance.

Great to see what’s flying over! ### 5/5 — Super fun!! *2026-08-09, version 2026.4.3* You want to know what’s ’what’s up’. Then this is for you. Once you start using it you cant stop!! Stay informed about what’s overhead!! ### 2/5 — Too many ads. *2026-08-08, version 2026.4.3* Ads far too long .., ### 5/5 — Great app so far (just downloaded it recently) *2026-08-08, version 2026.4.3* App is easy and accurate, handy for seeing what flights are coming in when. New to this so haven’t come across any negative issues ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Can’t see plane *2026-08-25, version 2026.5.2* 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? ### 1/5 — Update mess *2026-08-20, version 2026.5.2* 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. ### 1/5 — What happened to this app? *2026-08-18, version 2026.5.1* Took away ability to look up and see specific flights on map. ### 1/5 — Ads are so bad. Not usable *2026-08-18, version 2026.5.1* In a hurry to look something up? Better wait for all the ads. ### 1/5 — Real bad *2026-08-10, version 2026.4.3* Bought this, never again, I live in Cornwall and no end of aircraft cross here to the USA but do they show up on this no, seven went across today and I checked each one, nothing to see here skies all clear, so don’t waste your money, I’m looking elsewhere, oh and I did email support about this, no reply, well done ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-09, version 2026.4.3* Expensive but expensive ### 1/5 — bad *2026-08-09, version 2026.4.3* I hate the premium because you have to pay ### 1/5 — Unstable *2026-08-03, version 2026.4.3* This app has gotten worse over the years always crashing. ### 1/5 — Great plane tracker but has a bad feature *2026-08-03, version 2026.4.3* I used this for a while and then it tried to tell me I had a virus on my phone and I had to install this scam virus ejector or it will destroy my sim in 2 minutes Do not click install it also always wants you to pay a subscription. Do not recommend ### 1/5 — SCAM WARNING: They removed Lifetime Access for existing users! *2026-08-03, version 2026.4.3* I previously purchased the Lifetime Premium version on their old app. However, the developers shut down that app, launched this "new" version with the exact same functionality, and stripped away my Lifetime status just to force a recurring subscription. I have contacted support multiple times regarding my legitimate Lifetime access, but they are ignoring my emails and avoiding responsibility. This is dishonest and a clear violation of user trust. Restore legacy Lifetime accounts immediately! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent app *2026-08-29, version 2026.5.2* This is a good app to have if ( like me ) you’re a taxi driver ### 5/5 — Very good *2026-08-29, version 2026.5.2* This app is very good I like it as a young a geek ### 5/5 — Cool app *2026-08-25, version 2026.5.2* I can see planes at any time and see were they are ### 5/5 — So amazing 🤩 *2026-08-22, version 2026.5.2* i can track so many fights. ### 5/5 — I love this app *2026-08-22, version 2026.5.2* This is my favourite app because it has a lot of cool features ### 5/5 — Adore this app HUGELY RECOMMEND *2026-08-21, version 2026.5.2* 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! ### 5/5 — Best *2026-08-19, version 2026.5.2* This is the best app ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-08-16, version 2026.5.1* Best $20 a year you can spend! ### 5/5 — Ahead of the competition *2026-08-13, version 2026.5.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Love this app to bits and pieces! *2026-08-13* This is the very best example of a third party iOS app! Ridiculously good, worth every penny!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
