ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flight Tracker・Air Plane Radar holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Tracker・Air Plane Radar has 315 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Aboard's written reviews are positive against 21% of Flight Tracker・Air Plane Radar's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Aboard ships an update every 3 months, Flight Tracker・Air Plane Radar every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 12, 2026 respectively.
