Customer Reviews

Ehh... (1 star)
Great idea with good potential but, tracked high altitude planes disappear from screen long before they reach my location then, reappear long after they passed - which essentially means it won't tell me what's above me right now. Will the paid version do that? Don't want to waste five non- refundable bucks just to find out. Needs to show improvement before I drop any money on the paid app.

Approach path (4 stars)
I live about 50 miles away from Chicago in the southeast U.S. Approach path. Most planes are not equipped with adb-s but when they are, the map is very accurate. Buy it.

Cool app (4 stars)
Tons of fun especially when more planes start using it!
