For the geeky aviation enthusiast to track and view planes flying in the local area as well as around the world using a radar style similar to the radar screens that Heathrow air traffic controllers use in the real world.
This App is a 'viewer' to any Virtual Radar Server you point at on the internet serving live flight data and it defaults initially to www.adsbexchange.com. It can be changed using the [Server] menu.
You can also filter plane data so that you will see only planes that fit a given filter criteria using the various flight parameters and variables available here: http://www.virtualradarserver.co.uk/Documentation/Formats/AircraftList.aspx
Built-in ADSB receiver/Dump1090 server listener functionality so with the correct hardware connected to your mobile device you can receive live plane data in your area directly from the air.
Real time GPS feature which allows users to leverage their GPS receiver on their device to provide real time speed, direction and altitude of their present movements.
Proximity Alert feature depending on distance and height away from aircraft to your current GPS position provides a visual and audible warning "traffic traffic".
3D View mode with over 1000 airliners and military planes including the Beluga, Chinook, Harrier and Apache models not to mention many liveries of balloons, gliders, small planes and helicopters.
3D with VR - using an Android device that has the correct sensors (namely gyro, gravity and compass) you will be able to move your phone around in a full 360 degree circle in the real world and see where planes are positioned around you.

I picked up this app as it showed more data than flight radar (notablely police helicopters). Its not as good (no map layer that I could find for example) or as pretty, but I was happy with that for my use. But once they started to charge for access over 5 minutes, it became a waste of space on my device, and is gone. I'll go back to using the website again.
I really love this flight tracker. It is more of a virtual reality radar than a simple flight tracker. ONLY one problem! I can not move its 269 MB file size from my device's internal memory to my 32GB SD card. I would definitely rate it at 5 stars, or more, if it could be moved to SD. Use Flightradar 24, if you are short on internal memory.
I've been using this app for several months & it has been very useful. There will be a learning curve for those not accustomed to such apps or sites but "it's not rocket science". However, I encountered an issue over the past week. I emailed the developer & received a reply in less than an hour. The solution to my issue was easily resolved. This app has given me pleasure during these times and the excellent customer service is a plus.
I absolutely love this app even though I know I'll never use it to it's full potential. Living on the edge of a MATZ, and in a LFA, it's nice to be able to id military aircraft, as well as well as other aircraft not normally shown in "flight radar" apps. They, imho, pale by comparison. Ideal for the serious "aircraft spotter". I can only imagine the benefits for pilots. 5⭐🥰👍
Bought the app long ago, but quickly lost interest when I couldn't find instructions, so I uninstalled it. Just reinstalled it, only to find that it's now subscription-ware. This kind of bait-and-switch without accommodation to those who already spent money on this is reprehensible. Uninstalled.
Got the 5 minute countdown counter running but says connection failed, so I can't see anything yet I am losing my 5 free minutes. Seems like this once great app has turned into a right scam app, luckily I took screen shots of the countdown with connection failed in the top right corner. Will let Google know they should put this app on probation.
This app is stable, fun, and amazingly free! Super cool when running simultaneous with ATC audio. (Not a feature. I use a different app for audio.). This is a win for the developer and the internet.
not exactly sure what this version of the app can do that the light version can't so I just stick with the light one but I'm getting this a 5-star review because I really appreciate what this developer has a created although the data does come from a third-party at least as far as I know unless the dev owns adsbexchange, this is extremely useful and a great idea for aviation enthusiasts, pilots and possibly even controllers
This app used to be great but now it has stopped working. No aircraft to be seen. Help. Samsung tab A 2019, Android 9. It works fine on my phone but not on my tablet, why? I have tried to reinstall it same problem will email screenshot dont do Twitter. Excellent support problem resolved.
I've given this from a five stars to, two stars the reason is when you go onto 3D why do some of the civil aircraft. For an example an ezy jet, Ryanair, and some A380's look like a cessna single prop aircraft. That's including fighter jets??? Why can you not make the eurofighter Typhoons to look more realistic on both 2d & 3d. Or any other fighter aircraft. To look like the exact aircraft shown on the radars. Like the flight radar24 app. I've paid a lot of money for this app. Please fix this app
When looking up apps to install, the price is normally listed so you know whether the app is free or paid. This app costs $1/mo or $11/forever, which is fine, but don't list it as free in Google Play Store. False advertising.
Locks up, slow slow slow. Better apps out there that doesn't take a phd to learn how to filter flights. I regret buying this one, only to switch to flight aware app and adsb website.
Used to be a decent app for us in the aviation industry and also for the dedicated plane spotters. Now it's just another trash aviation app that no longer works. A great many subscribers of this app were also contributers to the server exchange using their hardware to provide data. Tragic the developer felt the need to jack everyone who'd contributed. I just removed it off my devices.
NO FREE VERSION? THAT'S NOT COOL! Used to love it, I even uploaded to the network years ago. This is an amazing piece of software but to have to pay a monthly fee isn't cool! Devs, you did an awesome job on the app, but sadly nothing good lasts forever! John...
Dont bother installing, app is nearly useless now. Used to be awesome. But the Devs have become too greedy. You can only use it for 2mins, then they cut you off & demand you pay for monthly subscription. My older version on my tablet Was perfectly usable, so i eventually gave them money. Happy happy.... Right? I buy a new phone, new gmail, instal the new app version..... USELESS! I'll keep my money this time thank you (im that offended). = Deleted app=
Great app works well would be good to have the option to change proximity alert sound as it is quite dull. It would be better if you could add any tone you like
Developer replied quickly about 3D issue - maybe they will reply just as quick with some instructions because its not entirely obvious how everything works and if you click the right menu and click instructions the page that opens has hardly any information and only half of that is useful
I am finding it hard to jump to a airport. Otherwise its a nice app.
Bought the app before all the enhancements. Went use it today and applied an altitude filter, which I believe used to work before. Now, it only does for 5 minutes, after which time, you've got to subscribe montly. Not cool, not recommended. Uninstalling.
It's very good, accurate, my only minor criticism is shortage of instructions for the app. Update: Departure and Destination info have disappeared. A bit annoying after paying to use the app. Do we get this back? Feel like I have paid then had part of what I have paid for removed.
I see with the latest update a subscription is required for extended use. I would have no problem paying a sub but the data lags behind realtime. When I see a plane fly over my house I want to see that on the app as well but it's about 15 to 20 seconds behind. Even on a very fast wifi connection.
