ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Rappul holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker has 2.2K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 56% of Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker's written reviews are positive against 0% of Rappul's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker ships an update weekly, Rappul monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
