Description

Uncover the mysteries of live air traffic in one beautiful and easy to use app. Is it a bird? Is it a plane?! If it’s the latter, Plane Finder can tell you exactly which plane it is.

Plane Finder is incredibly easy to use and utterly fascinating. It enables you to see live air traffic patterns with real-time tracking of almost any plane you’re interested in, and in addition to the aircraft’s location you can see its current altitude, its speed and where it’s heading.

Get live information on flights - super handy when travelling. You can even be alerted when a particular flight is heading your way, which is useful if you’re trying to catch sight of rare birds such as the Airbus A380.

Switch to incredible 3D flight tracking anytime from any aircraft, airport or location on the map seamlessly to view air traffic as never before.

There’s a superb augmented-reality option that enables you to point your camera at the sky and see details of the aircraft that’s overhead, and with full support for iOS’s Dark Mode it’s just as handy for night flights as it is for daytime ones.

It’s all great fun, but it’s also very practical: in addition to flight tracking there’s extensive airport information, which supplements live arrival and departures with live weather reports for hundreds of airports.

How does Plane Finder work?
Plane Finder receives real time ADS-B and MLAT signals sent by aircraft to transmit their positional data to land based receivers. This technology is faster than traditional radar and is used for air traffic control and navigation. You can check our worldwide flight tracking coverage for free at www.planefinder.net

A bit of fun for me

I enjoy the app and just following random aircraft around the world. I also love to see what’s flying overheard. My only issue is sometimes I hear and see aircraft and they don’t show on the app. Maybe there’s a good reason. But it’s fun and kills time. I just wish I lived near a busy airport. I’d go watch them land. I also told my Dad about this app and planes and he said I was boring. Then later he’d come into my room to point out planes flying overheard so obviously downloaded it. Haha.

The free is ok but full of ads. I can cope for now. I enjoyed the free trial more a while back. I had to stop it because at that time couldn’t afford the subscription. I plan to subscribe on payday because I’m not sure when the money will be taken (some apps do it immediately, some at certain dates though that’s rare). It’s quite a reasonable price currently and I hope it stays that way since I’m on a budget. It keeps saying free trial again but I don’t think you get another. I daren’t test it.

Anyways, good tracker app! Thanks guys.

Thank you for your review, we are glad you are enjoying Plane Finder. The free trial is a one time offer, good to hear you're planning to sign up.

Not for me

I had a two weeks free trial, and unfortunately that’s end there. I do not blame the app but what I wanted this for, is just not there. I don’t care about airlines but GA. There is all info you want about airlines but very little about planes that flying outside my window, if they show up at all. I read and fully understand is that all about type of transponder. As I’m writing this there is two planes SR22 and Cessna flying nearby. I can see them in real but I can only see sr22 on the app and like 99% GA planes I have only alt course vertical rate type and registered date. Is missing rest of them. Again is not app fault but just my expectations are a bit unrealistic. Then is playback, sounds awesome but I only managed to find my flight to Spain but none of them to Poland, even very recent with Rynair or Wizzair. Featured flights alert, well I don’t know how it works because it didn’t notify me about Red Arrow flying by!! Charts is just joke, there is 6 of them, I knew will be bad but there is more then 7000 airports on Navigraph, as example.
The good
Is quick and Very easy to use. 3d stuff is gadget but nice addition, weather is fairly accurate compared to Windy. Filters are awesome. I like the layout and presentation.
If that was one of purchase yes worth to have for around £10 but subscription, no to me. Thank you for let me try this first and keep improving so maybe one day I will have a go again.

Thank you for your review, we hope to see you back again in the future.
