User reviews

Not a fan

Thought that this was going to be a mobile friendly, cleaned up version of the existing website experience. Using it is a bit odd and not as intuitive as just looking at a map. I’ll continue using the web app, it’s just a much better UI.

So far so good

I’m currently tracking the ch-47 Boeing aircraft helicopter that I usually see often close by, so far this app is great giving it 5 stars 👏🏼

It’s an upside down world.

I download Tailvision. The first and immediate experience show Clark County Indiana airport south of Louisville International Airport. I love the other ADS-B products and I’m sure this a temporary glitch.

What’s the point?

Love ASSB Exchange - but this app is “weird” to me. I guess it’s trying to take on a radar scope appearance, but viewing it is a nightmare to me. Contrast is terrible. Info give me anxiety. The point at sky function is ok - but was really hoping for cleaned up mobile app version of the web site. I’ll stick to using a web page in a browser as it’s super functional and works well. I don’t really get the purpose of the app unfortunately. Feel like the mark was missed on this one.

A few icon options could be helpful.

It’s decent and useable already and I’m sure it will grow into its potential. I feel like linking and transitioning to the map app when needed could improve things, or the addition of some of that apps functionality in this one.
