Great app - few notes

I didn’t realise Windsor was in a flight path when I moved here three years ago. Call it poor luck regarding flight paths with visiting the property. Have a listed house made of horse hair with no double glazing - somehow this one single sound is worse than the cacophony of London.

This all is genuinely useful to me, but here’s a few asks.

I frankly don’t care when the planes aren’t above my head. I would like the option to only be notified when they are.

And on notifications - the tolerance for a notification is too twitchy. Just received genuinely about 10 in the space of 30 mins.

Otherwise, a huge fan - god’s work - and have got my mrs to download. Just having the ability to know where the planes ate above is a blessing.

I once spoke with the presence at Heathrow on the matter - I wanted some figures. It’s a plane every 70 seconds from ~5:00 to ~23:00; 170,000 people a day. Remarkable stuff. The bane of my life.

Keep it up - just give me a way to control the notifications a bit. I’m generally a notification abstainer - the buzzing is driving me mad, otherwise couldn’t be happier. Peace and love.

Very good

Great idea

Love this. Simple and does exactly what’s needed. Widgets super helpful.

Genius app for Windsor locals

Such a great idea for anyone living under the Heathrow flight path. Super easy to use and now my go to in order to understand how noisy the airspace might be above windsor.
