Amazing app! Slight tweak?

I use this app a lot when plane spotting at my local regional airport. The CPA alerts are a huge help to know when aircraft are on final so I can have enough reaction time to take photos and videos of the landing. However I have one small suggestion: the ground aircraft shown in light grey along with their callsign, speed and altitude, are hard to see in light mode. This is a non issue in dark mode, but I just wanted to suggest improving the contrast of the aircraft label against the light map. But other than that, this app is absolutely perfect. Keep up the good work on making this experience better and better with every possible update.

Hi Evan, thank you for the kind words and for using SkyPinger at your airport! You were right — the subscription screen had a bug that prevented purchasing. We fixed it in version 2.1.1, and we also updated the App Store description to accurately reflect the Pro tier. The proximity alerts, AR view, and track trails are all available now with a 7-day free trial. Thanks for your patience, and happy spotting!

Great App! Use it every week at my local airport, but confused about a potential bug.

Hi, I love this app! I use it all the time with flighty and apple weather at my local regional airport. However I noticed recently that despite the App Store description contains the words, “no subscriptions, no paywalls” and I find in the apps settings that some features like AR view, proximity alerts, tracking trails, and other features are paywalled behind a subscription. However I don’t see a way to purchase the apparent subscription, as it says “App Store connection unavailable”. I really hope that this some sort of backend bug or something that may have accidentally slipped through a recent update because I enjoyed those features a lot, and I am already paying for other essential apps and services such as flighty pro. I hope this issue can be addressed in the next app update. Other than that, its a great app overall, keep up the good work!
