ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flight Board Pro Plane Tracker has 2.2K ratings behind it against 4, 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 63% of Planepoints'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, Planepoints every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 1, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
