HOW IT WORKS
Most aircraft are equipped with so called ADS-B transponders that transmit positional data. Flightradar24 has a rapidly growing network of several thousand ground stations around the world to receive this data that then shows up as aircraft moving on a map in the app. In an expanding number of regions Flightradar24, with the help of multilateration, is able to calculate the positions of aircraft that don’t have ADS-B transponders.

Traditional radar data is also used in the app thanks to a direct feed from the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

Reading many reviews its evident there are many of the same issues dating back a fair way. On the whole i prefer this app over any of the others but i think the developers need to address missing flights that users are pysically staring at. I understand military aircraft aren't captured but if users are paying for upgraded apps, the development of this app is way overdue.

This is a great app! But it's missing 2 things that would make it the perfect app. I had to get another app to see a map of airports. If those airport maps were included here, where I could see gates from landing to my next take off, that would be perfect! The 2nd thing, the flight alerts need a date field. When family comes to visit, I could put the info in the alert and be done! As it is now, I have to hear the alert everyday until their flight day. Need a date field! Great app, love the 3D!

I've been using this app for loooong time now and still love it. UX and features are pretty solid. Wouldn't drastically change anything, just keep improving the features you have and feel free to add new (paid) features. Yes, paid. I don't mind paying for great stuff if you give me the option to choose what I'm paying for:)

Yesterday i was looking straight above at 2 aircraft crossing over near each other. Yet the app said there were no planes within 100 miles of Sheffield - b.s. It has been useless for some time now. I also paid for the upgraded plane icons. They're gone too. If not fixed by monday 13th june 2016, in 1 week from now, i'll be uninstalling and getting a refund.

I'm addicted. It's fascinating to discover what is flying above me. I had no idea we have SO many aircraft flying over us - the aircraft noise was an indicator I guess! We're on the direct flight path of two major airports. At the very least this app has been the deciding factor in me wanting to move house! Have got a couple of in-app purchases which makes it even more interesting.

L70%
by L####:

I LOVE THIS APP!! Easy to use. Does exactly what it says and more! Ever look at a plane in flight and wistfully wonder: "I wonder where they are going?" Wonder no more! Point your camera at any plane in the sky (any altitude) and instantly know what it is and where it's going (Origin/Destination/Atitude/Airspeed)! Used it at the airport tracking planes from taxi to takeoff. Surprisingly accurate data refresh rate. Lag time was merely seconds (e.g. Airspeed and altitude). Best money I ever spent on an app!

U70%
by U####:

I purchased this app because I live in a moderately high aircraft traffic area. Although, a great number of overhead and nearby aircraft that are visible or heard - are not listed nor detected via the in-app AR. I've expanded the options to their most broad settings in an attempt to capture anything, to no avail. The flights the app is not tracking is on going, are at varying elevations, speeds, and from the past few weeks. I don't live next to an Airforce base or anything what may have so many unregistered

With all the games and various Apps, this has to be my favorite, especially when you pair it with

Very good app especially if you are checking flights for family or friend. Very informative to know what is above you. I would like to make one suggestion. In the alert section I think squawk 7500 should be added. Squawk 7500 refers to a hijacked plane I know it's rarely used unless it really happens, but I think it's important must know information. Aside from that the app is very informative, and very well organized. I highly recommend to the app for those people interested in aviation.

U70%
by U####:

Living near an airport, I've always wondered what make and model the different planes are that I see landing and taking off, as well as where their coming from and going. This app gives me all that and more. The only thing I would like added to it is a night mode toggle, (similar to the ones you get in astronomy apps), as the screen is too bright at night. (You can dim the map in settings, but I would prefer a dedicated night mode).

V70%
by V####:

This app by far surpasses any app I've ever used and worth every penny. I absolutely love it and find myself opening the app every free chance I get! It's sooooo much fun to learn about all the different flights. I had not realized how many are flying at one given moment! WOW! I also love the 3D features, so awesome to see what each plane is flying over. The alerts and or 'squak alerts' are very interesting as well. I love EVERYTHING about this app! Hats off to the creators, well done!!!!!

T70%
by T####:

I paid for this app 2 years ago and had no problem reinstalling the app on a new phone without paying for it again. But now they require a login and account with them that I have never been asked to setup, have no option to setup and am at a loss. If you force new requirements on your app purchasers, you need to give them the means to continue accessing what they paid for.

U70%
by U####:

I used to love this app & use it everyday. Its one of the best Apps ever but what have you done to it? Since downloading the update you cant retract the map back in after expanding it. You click on an aircraft and it doesnt identify it correctly anymore. I clicked on a Adel to Dubai flight & it said Royal Flying Doctor Service???Please fix make it like it was before or I will delete it.

Q70%
by Q####:

I love this app for tracking flights into and out of my local GA airport. It's especially fun when used with a handheld transceiver or something like LiveATC. Sadly, the Android version is missing several smaller airports where I live, which were available in the iOS version. Would love to see them added.

U70%
by U####:

If your an aviation buff and you want to know the ID of that airplane above you,where it's going and where did it come from then this app's for you. This app works very well with little trouble. Tons more features, I bought the add-ons they work well also. When my friends see it they down load it. They love it too. Get it.

R70%
by R####:

This app is definately worth its weight. I looked at a few others before chosing it but feel I made the right choice. The are some in app purchases that really make it shine depending on your needs but its good to go without those. Although I would mention I have read that there is a flight playback feature for desktops not offered in the app. Truth? Rumor? I would be nice to have that included in app.

W70%
by W####:

A great app that provides in depth information on any flight, if you have the paid version. If you have a Chromecast you can share the map to your TV, too, but here's why I haven't given 5 stars: the cast only shares a map. It doesn't highlight the plane you're tracking, nor the flight's data. This is still displayed on the tablet, but would be much better sharing screen real estate on the casted screen!

U70%
by U####:

Love the app. Would rate a 5 * if I were able to filter multiple airlines or airports or aircraft types. For example; I would love to filter out all of Air Canada's regional carriers as well as the mainline carrier on one display. Similarly, if I can see all traffic between JFK AND LHR. Web site allows these types of combinations but this app sadly does not.

U70%
by U####:

Apps works very well. Can't complain at all about the app itself.I paid for the PRO version and i don't really like that there are more in-app purchases available. You should pay once and have all features of the app. Not buying one version then having to pay for other features to be unlocked.

I used this app this afternoon as a number of flights were taking off from Dublin Airport and flying directly over my area. I could ckearly see that they were either Ryanair or Aer Lingus flights, but none registered when I pointed the phone up at them to test this app. Not impressed. I'm now questioning whether it is accurately identifying aircraft at all.

X70%
by X####:

I wanted to track a specific flight which was 12hrs long so was unable to keep the app open. I was frustrated as i was unable to save the flight number anywhere so every time I closed the app it lost the data and ended up having to re-input it again! It also crashed on me so I had too unistall and reinstall again. Otherwise a good app

T70%
by T####:

I have compared this app to others and it seems to update much more frequently and track much more accurately. Unfortunately when casting to my TV it will work but lose connection when switching back and forth with shuffle. Once connection is lost it won't connect again without a phone restart

Y70%
by Y####:

I was disappointed to PAY for all the extras on this app, and NOT to receive my set 'alerts'/additional info and to find the flight i was tracking was out of FlightRadar24 detection area, when so many other flights from the same region and/or airline were showing up. Personally it made me question the information i was being given by the app. I feel i should've just stayed with the free version. I've been disappointed by it.

U70%
by U####:

Here are some improvements that I can think of: 1. the search tool is quite inconsistent. Some flight number doesn't appear when you search it but you'll find it if you look for it from the flight by airline list. 2. The list of "Airport By Country" and "Flight by Airline" will be better if you can type to search our filter. 3. The "Flight by Airline" is not entirely in alphabetical order.

A70%
by A####:

I've been having an issue with two minor things, one being the map is always black, and the other is the older planes aren't tracked so well, as an example I missed a 727 and a 737-200 since I didn't know it's heading, is it because of the age of the aircraft that it makes it difficult to track or because of the owner of the plane doesn't want it to be tracked?

Wish this was available when I was a working chauffeur! For me it's brilliant. Just had to uninstall and reinstall as no alerts received since last update. All done with no effort. Thanks developers! Just wanted to add that I upgraded my phone, reloaded the app, and everything is running perfect. Well done developers,

U70%
by U####:

Tracks well. However i have downloaded the paid version and it seems to be less useful than the free version on the internet. For instance i wanted to check the route of a flight i was on yesterday. On the website i can do it. On the app i cant see a way of doing it. Also i am disappointed that icons on the website differ but if i want that on an app ive already paid for i have to pay more.

Really helpful and exciting app.. Since my childhood, I used to stare at planes that pass over my head and wonder where they all were going!! Thanks to technology, Flightradar24 and its crew. Now its just a child's play to know almost all critical details of such aircrafts!!! I really am enjoying tracking and sneaking almost all aircrafts that fly near my locality!! Big Thanks to you guys!!!

K70%
by K####:

a useful app (hence 2 stars purely for functionality) as i work at an airport as security and tracking inbound flights can be useful for helping customers and being there prompltly before the planes arrive. however i bought the pro version and now apparently have to still pay for additional add ons you dont buy a car then have to pay for the engine and wheels. if you wont add all the features to the pro version dont offer a pro version i guess you guys are money over customers. i want my money back :/

P70%
by P####:

Usining the app shows a great deal of aircraft how the ones Im actually trying to track for some reason dont show up at all. The company shows up on the airlines list but I do not get indication that any of the aircraft are enroute when i actually know they are. Maybe someone can help me so my money isnt wasted...

G70%
by G####:

The photo of an airliner at the lower right corner is covering more than 20% of the screen area! Irritating! Can not be turned off! Who use smart phone now doesn't how a Boeing 747 or 777 looks like?? Search through the setting, I cannot turned it off!

U70%
by U####:

I can still use the app to see what's in the skies, but bringing up any plane's extra info after the first imposes the first plane's queried information onto the next plane's box. I hope the Pro version isn't suffering this.

U70%
by U####:

Easy to use. I often wondered where planes were going or where they came from. Now I can see . It is also very handy when you are either travelling or picking somebody up from the airport knowing exactly when the plane will land or take off or where your friends or family are when in the air.

V70%
by V####:

Whats with the in app purchases. I have paid for the app already.... how much more you want ? In app purchases is ridiculous. Icon pack really? That should be in there by default. I didn't have to pay to get a nice looking icons for planes. It's a total overpriced in app purchase ripoff. Do not recommend..

I70%
by I####:

Have been asking for this for ages. This app would be perfect if it allowed you to backup and restore your alerts. Every time I have to reset the phone or buy a new one it's a pain to enter them in manually every time. A simple backup and restore from to and from a text file would be sufficient.

N70%
by N####:

I've noticed a flight path over our home especially in the evening sky for years. I always wondered where the flight was from and where it was going. I found this app yesterday and it answered all my questions and more. It's amazing to see how many planes are in the sky at any given time.

O70%
by O####:

Amazing coverage compared to its competitors. Aircraft icons are not accurate e.g. the A330-B767-B787 all look alike (a bit disappointed to pay for an option and be limited; it's free and more accurate in Plane Finder). Chromecast connection is great. It is my favorite flight tracking app and I strongly recommend it to anyone passionate about airliners. I upgraded to get the alert system. 4.5 euro for something so basic, it is not worth it. I sent mails to suggest improvement, they are working on it...

U70%
by U####:

Works occationally just so you keep trying. It will just go "POP" and you are lost again with a screen you don't need or recognise. It is just too weird and unpredictable to be of any practical use "on the go" unless you enjoy mental torture and agonising frustration. I have never come across anything as "screen-jumpy" and volatile like this Flighradar app... and i paid for it!!!

V70%
by V####:

I had a problem where I would not get any 747 on my filter when I checked on my phone app. Lucky another user told me to reinstall, and it worked. Someone had asked as they were following BA 747. That's all you have to do, and I didn't loose my extra app purchase's. Its now all good. just wanted to share .

U70%
by U####:

A terrific app, useful & fascinating if you're following someone 's flight. One annoying thing though - when you search for a flight, and it shows the map of the current position, it leaves the other info up, thus obscuring much of the map. If you dismiss the info panel, it loses the focus on the flight of interest. Irritating bit of app design...
