  Awesome app

  I’m not a pilot, just love planes, this is easily the best app by far, I just wish they used silhouettes of planes like on ADSB exchange instead of 1 generic plane model, so you could get a relative ID by looking instead of having to click on every plane.

  Best Unfiltered ADSB

  You’re not going to find a better alternative to ADSB exchange than this right here. The only thing better would be using the ADSB Exchange website. Big shoutout to the developer. App works perfect and comes in at a very reasonable price!

  Part of my flight bag

  As a pilot this comes in handy for many things, needless to say.

  App crashes

  Several times now I’ve had this app refuse to update, forcing me to delete and repurchase in the App Store. Apple refuses to offer a refund. An app that costs $11 should be expected to work properly and update when necessary without crashing.

  Why no search button???

  I know you can search an N number in settings but it sure would be nice to have a search button or magnifying glass icon on the main screen so we can search N number there. Maybe you can add that in an update for us. Thx .

  Great App

  For years, I’ve used different apps to track flights, but I think I’ve finally found the one that’s right for me. Overall, no lag and no issues. The one time pay is great, rather than a subscription. The ability to differentiate military aircraft vs civilian aircraft is great. My only recommendations would be to track full flights, and to have unique aircraft icons (similar to Flightradar24) for added variety purposes.

  Yea this doesn’t track everything

  Just had an a-10 fly by my location by about 2k feet and it didn’t show up on radar. Got it on video, was the coolest 12 seconds of my life

  Best $10 bucks ever paid

  I hate subscription, this is just what I need. I’d love to see a 3D map version like Google Earth

  Worth every penny!

  I only care about MIL traffic and this by far is the cleanest app to track those. Prefer being able to track all MIL traffic instead of what FR24 currently does on their app which is only 1 service. As mentioned below, the one thing I’d love is different icons for the different planes. FR24 has that and it’s helpful.
