About this app

This flight tracker displays live planes on a map. Like a radar, with real-time position updates and many flight status details. All of the features are available for free, which is uncommon enough to be highlighted : no subscription nor option to unlock by payment.

When selecting a plane you will have all the details :
- airline and flight number,
- flight origin and destination airports,
- departure and arrival time,
- aircraft type, including photos,
- altitude, speed and heading,
- 3D pilot view animation

The planes are displayed on the map with about ten different icons depending on the type of aircraft. Also including helicopters.

You can find plane for a given flight or with a given registration, using the very responsive search engine. Once selected you may add the flight to the list of favorites. This will enable you later to retrieve and swap from flight to flight in a very efficient way.

When opening settings, you can choose type of maps and units.

One of the feature we are the most proud of is the real-time 3D view of the ground. A bird-eye view as if you were in the plane : enjoy the landing!

Present app is designed to display commercial flight. Military aircraft is out of scope.

Do note that not all planes are available : from 90 to 95 % coverage.

You will appreciate the very responsiveness of this flight tracker app when panning and zooming around.

Permissions : we are concerned by your privacy. You will only be requested to grant location permission if you want to use the 'around me' feature. You may deny. Clean app, no other tricky permission out there.

Ratings and reviews

For the most part, this app doesn't work, rendering it virtually useless. Screen freezes every time I click on a plane, and then app won't resume. Full-page ads pop up frequently and work perfectly, though, obliterating the actual content for which people download this app. Goes to show where the developers' priority is. Hint: It's not users. Installed tonight and promptly uninstalled 15 minutes later. Typical garbage app offered at the Google Play Store.

It's a really cool app to watch planes fly over and look over the horizon at night and see their farthest way point and see they are very far away when you can see them in the sky and on the phone. But I've decided to take the app off my phone because it's really annoying having it tell me in the screen to constantly to zoom in to see more planes. I don't need reminded over and over with the annoying thing going across my phone.

Generally an ok app. But, it doesn't pick up all flights over the area. It picks up more flights in & out of LAX. It doesn't track flights for BUR but once in a while & I know there is much more traffic than what this is picking up. This is because we are in its glidepath. It's ok to track the flights for the big airports like LAX. But, I'd like the see the traffic for the local, regional airport that affects my airspace .
