Plane Finder works by picking up ADS-B plane feeds used by all commercial planes to transmit their name, position, destination and lots more. This technology is actually faster than radar and is used in some places for air traffic control and navigation.

Customer Reviews

Blind (1 star)
This app simply doesn't work. It's basically blind to certain areas of the country. My local airport is KMCI (Kansas City). I am currently looking at Flightaware.com, and there are no less than 10 flights just in the region of KMCI. On Plane Finder, there is nothing. Not only is there nothing over KMCI on Plane Finder, there isn't a single plane being shown in Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma, Nebraska, or Iowa. If you look on Flighta

Don't bother (1 star)
Downloaded the free version while at Atlanta Hartsfield, not a plane showed up in 150 miles from Atlanta. Find that a little hard to believe at the worlds busiest airport. Stick with Flight Aware, app or web version.

Useful app (5 stars)
I use this app frequently to track flights of family members and just to goof off. I love this app!
