Bogus App
This app is miserable. Planes headed in the wrong direction, altitudes wrong, and speeds that are ridiculous. Don’t waste your time.
This App Is A SCAM.
The Ad is NOTHING like the APP.
Simply doesn’t work
Just a spinning ball on nearby flights. WTF!? Refund please!
Misleading trial and missing data
That sure has has a 4.7 rating, this app is massively underwhelming. First, do not sign up for the annual payment plan if you want to have a free trial. The annual plan charges you right away.
As others have noted, this app only has a subset of the flights currently in the air. It’s basically a toy and not a real flight path tracking app.

Deceptive 3-day trial!
Will pre charge
Not as advertised
They put fake photos on social media, that are not what you get in the app. Not accurate date. Not clear with trial period and charge complete year with no refund.
Not worth it
Deceptive. 3 Day Trial subscription information is not clear. I was charged for a year and no response to multiple emails asking to be reimbursed even though I contacted them within 12 hours of downloading the app (when I realized I had been charged). Inaccurate aircraft information (aircraft heading towards a destination is shown going the wrong way, landed aircraft still showing as traveling) and the supposed cockpit view doesn’t appear to be accurate.
Waste of money
Not very capable, actual interface is very different from the ads and is not user friendly.
Don’t buy! SCAM ALERT!
This app is falsely advertised. It has no 3D graphs, just plain planes on a 2D map. The worst part is that the data is incomplete and delayed beyond useful. You’ve been warned: avoid this scam.
Incomplete data
Not as advertised. The app doesn’t show all flights in the area. When I looked up an incoming flight, it didn’t show on the map at all. I used the app for 5 mins as a free tier and I cannot cancel my yearly subscription until next year. I’m tried using the app “contact developer “ link, but it directs you to a non functioning website.
Robbed
Cockpit view doesn't work. It shows planes landing where there is no airport. This is a joke and I paid the yearly subscription. They'll probably delete or hide this comment and won't show accountability by giving me my money back.
False advertising!
There's at least 10 flights on Flight radar in a 30 mile radius, this is only showing 2 flights in a 100 mile radius, and I can get more information Googling the flight number than what it shows in the free version.
Claims I have a 3 day trial, but just about everything is paywalled, even the feature to click on the nearest airport (I had to pinch zoom to my area)... How do I know if it's worth paying for if I can't see anything useful?

Don’t do it!
Was offered a 3 day trial but was charged right away for the yearly subscription. Can’t get a refund and the app doesn’t offer the same info as flighty, flight radar or anything else. Waste of $70 and can’t even get it back. No support answers either…
Flight radar wannabe
Download FlightRadar24 its way better
No 3d flight tracking
There is no 3d flight tracking like advertised.
Scam
This app is promoting features like actual 3D view of flights in air which does not exist. Scamming people with features they don’t have! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP
Why??
Disappointed…misleading advertising, looks nothing like in the advert video.
3 day trial, then 9.99/week for “premium”, same offered for 6.99/week within the app.
Missing 80% of departures/arrivals on the airports I checked.
No option to change units from meters to feet (important in aviation), or to change to dark mode.
Feels like the app had good intentions but is far from ready.
No ideas where those stars coming from.
I stick to the other 2 established apps that I use daily for years.

Useless & overpriced
Let's start with the fact your app is advertising things that are nonexistent.
The app has decent graphics. Other than that I've seen apps for free that offer more.
You charge $10/m or $70/y. For what? Sadly you have a lot more work to do.

Not worth it
WAY TOO MUCH MONEY!🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️🙅🏾♂️
Misleading
What this app advertises is misleading, doesn’t offer what you see, no ATC is included, not very functional or useful. You can’t start using it without signing up for a trial, and getting charged 14+ dollars to start the trial weekly subscription instead of 6 dollars. Disappointing and upsetting.
Lies
Says you can listen to ATC and have a pov fight follow which you can’t. Also it shows only a couple dozen flights in the sky when real apps show the real amount. I cancelled the 3 day trial in under 5 minutes.
Terrible
Not as advertised. It’s a terrible app with little function.
Saw an Ad, Not a good app
Saw an ad on instagram that showed you could listen to ATC. This app doesn’t offer that. There is other apps that give way better info for free.
