Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Plane Finder AR and Plane Finder?
Plane Finder AR is our augmented reality app that shares the data available in Plane Finder- our original iPhone App. Plane Finder provides a near real time virtual radar view of flight from across the world and include a great deal more detail that Plane Finder AR. All Plane Finder apps share common ADS-B data.

Why cant I see all planes?
Aircraft must be carrying ADS-B equipment and we must have a feed in the area. (In the US airlines have been slow to adopt the technology but usage is continuing to rise).

What if my area isn’t covered?
We are always on the lookout for more data feeds. Check back regularly to see if we have added your area. You could even help us by running a free receiver!

If I have an ADS-B receiver can I share my data for use with Plane Finder AR?
Yes. Please contact [email protected] and we will assist.

Can I use Plane Finder AR for navigational purposes?
Definitely not. Plane Finder must not be used for navigational purposes under any circumstances

**Whilst we do have the best network please double check coverage using our free app Plane Finder Lite to make sure that we have coverage for your area**

Pros and cons of Plane Finder AR app for iPhone and iPad

Plane Finder AR app good for

Apart from no military planes, a few unidentified jets and occasionally losing track in the map, a very addictive/interesting app :)!

Doesnt seem to be 100% but four stars for being a lot of fun and interesting

Great when you live near an airport and have lots of flight to choose from, especially those cruising well above us. The kids love it :)

No complaints so far. It identified flights for me 40 miles south if London Ontario. It requires the planes be equipped with mode S transponders or ADS-B out which Canada is lagging behind compared to the USA

I live in thornhill, on, Canada and most of planes pass over my head landing in Toronto airport or going to us. Its so fun to know where are these planes come from and where they go. I checked the flight numbers and it was absolutely correct. Love this app

Nice app, would recommand it but we cant see the info for all plains yet...

Some bad moments

I paid and it does not work!! It is showing error message! Working alongside one of the greatest airports in Brazil with several internacional flights and he says there is no flights to the region!! I contacted support and did not even bother to answer my email. Shun this app!!!

I was thrilled when a friend gifted this app to me. Occasionally flights passing overhead here in Peterborough show up on the map but no flight information is given. I, like the other reviewers have no luck in Toronto. Very frustrating when youre passing by Pearson and the sky is filled with flights coming and going. I keep holding out hope that this app will improve with time. I must say I was pleased with the fast response time when I sent an email in regards to my difficulties. Hope the bugs get worked out soon!

Not enough aircraft with Mode S xpdrs or ADS-B up in Canada to make this worthwhile. Not the fault of the app.

Could track very few flights. Not the apps fault... I believe that it will get better with time as more and more planes will be equippes with the proper equipment.

A lot of the time it wont register planes but the other free app from another company will show me 2 or 3. Maybe its just in Vancouver that I can physically watch planes take off and have them not show up.

Live right on a flight path but always get an error that there are no planes in the area. Not worth paying for.
