LOUD UNSTOPPABLE PORNOGRAPHIC ADS!!!!!!
Too much annoyance when opening in the free version.
doesn't say when flights are diverting, unlike the market leading app.
feak app
Used for years and Flightradar is better - different types of aircraft fall off and are missed.. Planefinder just isn't good enough, having to flag up problems, repeatedly is tiresome ! - it's like they can't be bothered
enable OFFLINE MODE!! You can walk for the whole day only to end up with 1000 steps because the whole time you were offline.
i hate this
waste app...weaste off money
Can't say I'm impressed. currently tells me my daughter's flight arrives in 10 minutes when in reality it hasn't taken off yet. So it's utterly wrong.
Totally inaccurate, sais plane was at least an hour away and I was looking at it on the runway
good
Does not state upfront that it's not free
not up to the job I think.
Well, it was great until I saw "Gulf of America," which it isn't. I can't conscientiously trust an app that reflects this kind of nonsense.
full of full screen ads
You can add only 1(One) flight to monitor in free version.
not interested
me personally nah, pay for this and that
DID NOT REFUND AFTER DELETING APP AFTER 1 HR OF USE. NOT a plane finder, is a flight tracker. I paid for the "free" test, but deleted it almost immediately. Later, I found the charge on my credit card statement, and contacted them requesting a refund. DO NOT DOWNLOAD: 1) False advertising. this is flight route finding. 2) I didn't use it. I deleted immediately and forgot about it. But they still took my money. 3) Greedy petty money-grabbers.
some time flight info wrong. as today i have seen my flight 6E6395 which was app 45min late but your app showing flight landing in 1 hours. The information was totally wrong.
Went premium and for what? The '3D' function is sketchy at best. Won't allow me use on other devices as promised. Insights into history are minimal. Stay on Free version, you get little more if you pay.
Was very good, but has suddenly started aggressively displaying 3rd party video ads with audio, that inevitably pop up whenever you're in a public place, so everyone can hear them. Long ads, can't be skipped, irrelevant and annoying. Pretty typical occurrence whenever a good app becomes popular. Looking for an alternative. Shame.
Loud full screen video ads after 5 mins of usage so makes it no better than flightradar24.
the application works great when I can use it and I don't mind the top banner ads. but the full page ads when trying to use it that make you wait 15/30 seconds really breaks the experience. this strategy to make you pay for premium only makes me switch to Flightstats.
Way too busy and cluttered. Only allowed to track one flight, without subscription. Not worth it. Uninstalled.
