Serves up fake antivirus ads
Uninstalled immediately.
Scam
First time using the app and an add popped up saying my account is restricted because my phone was hacked from looking at adult web sights.
Obvious scam leading me to uninstall the app 3 minutes after installing…….. shame

can’t have anything unless you pay
I use this app for work and anything that is needed to look up a flight, i need a subscription or watch a 1 minute unskippable ad. Do better flightradar
Way too many ads
The free version is practically unusable due to all of the obnoxious screen takeover ads
Dislike the new update
The new update not worth it anymore! There’s more ads to this app and to go to the last 24 hours arrivals on the radar. you have to pay to able to see the old arrivals
Extremely greedy app owners
Used to use it daily for work till they became money hungry clowns who limited access and steer you towards giving up information by making a “free silver account” needless to say I’ll be deleting after years of use
Ruined by ads
Too many ads
What Happened????
This use to be such a great app. Now it’s worthless. I use to love to track the planes. Now, they don’t even register on the app. I can hear them, I can see them fly over, but they don’t exist on the app. Oh well, all good things come to an end.
Stop with the bs updates that make the app worse
Title. Theres no reason to flip arr and deps or make the whole thing more crammed
RUINED IT
This app used to be amazing. But it has been RUINED by a bombardment of ads. I understand you need to put ads, but holy moly, it’s like every minute and the user experience has become genuinely unbearable. Consider me churned
Prices and downtime
This app used to be great, but the prices keep going up and the downtime keeps going up alongside it
horrible broken ads
ads make it unusable
edit: Thanks for the response. The issue isn't that the app is supported by ads. It's that the ads are frequently impossible to close which literally makes the app unusable.

Ads
Too many ads
Sells your data very hard yo opt out
They updated to sell your information to third parties even if you are a paid subscriber. Also zero California privacy policy or request for data deletion.
Intrusive GDPR popup
I refuse on principle to click GDPR privacy popups that block a site (or in this case, am iPhone application). This application now has one. Bye.
Junk ads
Junk ads so you will pay for the app.
Z TV. C c really diary ce. Gf1

Used to be a good app
Now it’s malware. Ads that take over the app that is what malware is.

Scamming
Can no longer trust this app. Have been using for years as first choice amongst its competitors.
The Ads have become over-intrusive.
Now, today they are malicious. An advertisement disguised as a virus warning overlaying the home screen. Second, while observing the screen, with no input, the app opened the browser and presented a malicious website.
Twice the screen has been apparently hijacked.
Twice in one day.
Goodbye.

It stopped working
I liked this app but for the past 5 days, it stopped showing me what helicopters or planes were passing by. I can hear them but the app doesn’t show anything flying above or near me. The few times that it doesn’t show anything show me a plane or helicopter it’s unknown. Idk why it stopped working.
Wrong location names
Pretty cool app but I noticed some of the names of places are labeled wrong. It is like a child renamed some of the places like the Gulf of Mexico has a made up name. Makes me wonder how much of the info is made up.
Idk
Too many ads
Was the best app
As an over a decade subscription member, I’m going to pass now. The latest UI is abominable! It’s compressed, hard to read and you can no longer see all the information on one page. You have to keep pressing arrows to expand the box… once more, the adage,”If it ain’t broke…don’t fix it!” has been ignored! I’ve LOVED this app for its consistency! Messing with it has lost you one loyal fan!
Good app
Do you guys used to be a great app but now you’re just getting greedy!!!!
Reduced details
Clear money grab for additional details about flights and airports.
Why is the app layout different now?
I highly dislike the new layout in the app. The arrivals and departures have been switched on the hotbar when you click on an airport pin, then when you find the flight you're looking for you have to scroll to find the "Show On Map" button. It's a miniscule amount of extra effort, but still. It was excellent the way it was before this last update, not so much now. Just a little annoying to me.
