### 1/5 — Can’t get the app to work

*2026-07-29*

So confused all this app is, is a map of where I am. Nothing else. Can’t get anything to work.

**Developer response:** Hi Jen, thanks for trying out the app, and I'm sorry you're having problems!

This is on me, Skyby only shows a flight when a plane is genuinely overhead, so a quiet sky looks like a broken app, and I didn't make that clear enough. I just pushed an update that spells this out better, so grabbing the latest version should help.

The fastest way to see it working: open the menu in the top right, tap Location, and move your pin to a nearby airport. You should then see things going on. Move it back home anytime and it'll catch whatever flies over you. If it still seems off, email me at support@skyby.app and I'll personally help.

### 4/5 — One problem

*2026-07-28*

not being able to change the radius on the free version is a big no go. This is one of the most important things in the app it’s being kept.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for the feedback! Stuff like this helps us make the app better, so in the new update (v1.22) we've widened the free search area to 3 nm. Hope that works better for you!

### 5/5 — Really fun app for aero nerds like myself

*2026-08-02*

Easy to use. Free version will show you all planes flying right overhead which is super awesome

### 5/5 — So Neat!

*2026-08-01*

This app is awesome for anyone who’s interested in knowing what planes fly around them! You can set a pin, I like to choose an airport obviously, and you can see what flights are taking off or coming in! Truly a fun thing to have in the background or to impress your friends ;)

### 5/5 — Love!!

*2026-07-31*

I bought the paid version and love it. Super cool!!

### 5/5 — New App

*2026-07-28*

It’s a really good app. Tells you information about a flight that’s near you.
