Sad to see every cool app succumb to corporate greed. ### 2/5 — Review ✈️ *2026-08-20, version 3.10.58* Decent app , after all you can see and track the planes but it is soo laggy, I tried to look at a few flights but it took me ages . And the ads come on I’m not paying 10 or 3 and I had 2 days left of my free triel but it said 5.49 pounds , i was still on my free triel 🤬. I have had this app for a long time such as flight radar 24 and planes live is not even close to flight radar 24 . Lastly the updates I had a flight which got delayed 7 hours but guess what 6 and a half hour later it said the plane was on time … ### 2/5 — Was a good app before, now not so much *2026-04-01, version 3.10.57* Was good app before, then they turned it into having to pay for a plan. If you don’t pay, the free version is almost unusable. Rarely use it now, I’ve switched to other flight tracking apps. ### 2/5 — What’s happening to this app? missing data? *2026-03-30, version 3.10.57* Guys, this has been my go to app for tracking flights and making decisions on which flights to take and not to take based on Your historical delay information. Lately your data is completely missing flights. That exist. today I was looking at Fort Lauderdale to Boston. You show one flight for JetBlue they have seven nonstop flights on that same day which is only a week away. This is not the first time please figure it out and get it together or I’m gonna have to move to another app. When it’s working, it’s a five star app. If it doesn’t have the flights it’s not even a two star app Thanks. ### 1/5 — Flight tracker *2026-02-17, version 3.10.54* You make it too difficult to terminate ### 2/5 — Used to be great. Now It’s terrible *2026-02-13, version 3.10.54* Used to be a useful app and a must on each flight or even sitting on my deck at home. Now it’s hot garbage, filled with pop up ads and constant prompts for a subscription. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2026-02-08, version 3.10.54* Downloaded this app with the sole purpose of tracking a relatives flight and receiving a notification when the flight landed. It don’t allow me to track the flight, just showed me all the flights in the air, and it didn’t notify me when the flight landed. Not really sure what the point of the app is to be honest as it didn’t update to say the flight had departed or anything other than the scheduled times. ### 1/5 — New Update is Terrible *2026-01-17, version 3.10.54* This used to be a great app, but now it is clunky. ### 3/5 — Does not track planes properly *2026-01-10, version 3.10.54* This app work for a while ok but recently is not showing the planes flying right over my head. I don’t live in a big city with lots of traffic so it should not be the high plane traffic. Disappointed ! The App I properly updated so it’s the phone. ### 1/5 — No gate information shown even if up to date *2026-01-06, version 3.10.54* Unfortunately did not show the gate information even ### 3/5 — Ads are out of control *2025-12-23, version 3.10.54* I get it - you build an app hoping to make money, and you deserve to. But the ads have taken over the free version of the app, making it almost unusable at times. ### 4/5 — Add iOS live activities for free *2025-12-23* Please add iOS live activities this will help your app to expand and feature more things. The feature should be on your phones lock screen and it should show the flight tracking and the delays and gate number and baggage collect. ### 1/5 — Have to pay *2025-12-14, version 3.10.54* Use to not have to pay now you do ### 1/5 — Развод *2025-11-29* Под видом бесплатного пользования, списали деньги ! ### 1/5 — Greedy *2025-11-18, version 3.10.53* Hardly usable unless you pay ### 1/5 — Junk *2025-11-11, version 3.10.53* This is junk ### 1/5 — No real free trial *2025-10-25, version 3.10.52* The only way to try the app is to agree to pay for a subscription. So if you don't like the app you have to remember to cancel the subscription. It's a scam to weasels money out of unsuspecting people. ### 2/5 — Notifications Didn’t Work *2025-10-15, version 3.10.52* Takes a while to get past all the marketing fluff and attempts to get you to subscribe. I turned all the notifications for my flights on both in the app and the settings. Never received one. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Lousy app got me here early *2026-08-20, version 3.10.58* Off by an hour. Flight Wn 560 to Ontario ### 1/5 — You guys suck *2026-07-26, version 3.10.58* Few years ago I paid for the full version of this app. Now I updated your app, you expect me to pay monthly subscription. you are the true pirates. ### 1/5 — Missing flight data everywhere what’s up? *2026-06-10, version 3.10.58* I sent something in with no response. Checking today for flights from Fort Lauderdale to Boston again and it shows there aren’t any next week or after. I’m about ready to cancel what’s going on with your data? When it’s working, it’s a five star app. If it doesn’t have the flights it’s not even a one star app Thanks. ### 1/5 — Now useless *2026-05-30, version 3.10.58* The free app is now worse than useless, a complete waste of time. Nothing but constant ads and even when not ads, frequently freezes. ### 1/5 — A pior experiência em um APP. *2026-04-27* É tanta propaganda que irrita de usar. Ótima proposta, mais péssima experiência. ### 1/5 — Once great, now just spam *2026-03-30, version 3.10.57* Just a big spam app now. Avoid. ### 1/5 — Платно и дорого *2026-03-16* Платить не собираюсь ### 1/5 — Adult Ads Showing *2026-03-10, version 3.10.55* Just installed and glad no kids were around as very graphic adult ads showing right at the top. I’m sure this is from a third party ad network but I’d be selecting one that was far more restrictive before dropping it on my application. I’m certain the application is built well based on the reviews but this is not acceptable. ### 1/5 — F you very much *2026-02-21, version 3.10.54* So Flight tracker I’ve been using for years all of a sudden stops working today and says I have to pay five dollars a week to use it, up yours certainly not worth it! Maybe $20 a year would be fine but not five dollars a week!!! ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-02-19, version 3.10.54* This use to be a really good app. But lately they have been pushing you hard to purchase their pro version for $20/month. So they force you to watch ads for over a minute, that sometimes freezes, so you have to restart the app. Enjoyed it for over 5 years but deleted it today. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A *2026-04-24, version 3.10.57* Very good it helped me ### 5/5 — البصرة *2026-01-24, version 3.10.54* العراق ### 5/5 — 国人 *2025-09-23, version 3.10.51* 有国人吗 ### 5/5 — Update *2025-09-01, version 3.10.49* I just updated it… Amazing difference. Idk how from how long ago my last version was, either 3 weeks or over 2 months but was such a difference. The best plane app ### 5/5 — Não gostei *2025-08-31* Não aparece a localização a todo momento horrível vou desinstalar. ### 5/5 — Plane tracker *2025-06-25, version 3.10.47* Love it ### 5/5 — sad 😕 *2025-04-27, version 3.10.38* The app keeps telling me to manage my notifications.

I don’t know why. ### 5/5 — Nice *2025-03-30, version 3.10.37* Very good ### 5/5 — Great app *2025-03-22, version 3.10.35* Very interesting and great to watch ### 5/5 — Fortaleza *2025-02-01* Muito bom --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
