Plane Finder AR App Reviews

Stand outside, see a jet flying high in the sky, point your phone at it and the screen will tell you exactly what plane it is, where it came from, where its going, how far it is from you, what speed its traveling, etc. very very cool. It takes a minute to set up and calibrate but its very simple to use.

Its not a bad app, look at the screenshots it is precisely that, nothing more nothing less. Hoping for some future updates.

Love it! AR is awesome-showing the true power of a network-connected smartphone

I recommend this app.

This is such a fun app. I live on the east coast near the plane routes and across the bay from Logan airport so there are constantly planes to ID, going to and from all over the world. I hear a plane at night and wistfully whip out this app to find flights to Paris or Athens or more exotic places. The only reason Im not giving it 5 stars is because, as mentioned below, its hard to read the small writing.

I live this app its very well done , however my eyes arent what they used to be and even with my glasses I cant read the information about each flight because the font is so so tiny. Please enlarge the font in an update. Your truly NPE

The app continuously shows me information for flights that cant possibly be accurate. I live in Texas, and it will show me flight data for flights from New York to Florida or Kentucky to New Orleans, or even just flights from one part if Florida to another part of Florida. If I wanted that kind of info, I could have saved my money and made up flight info myself! I contacted the help desk via email and no reply. It would be a fun app if it were relaible...

Uses ADS-B Large percentage of aircraft are not ADS-B compliant yet nor will they be. Not required til 2020 and due to numerous issues that prob. will be extended. Font on ID tags is so small as to be unreadable

I bought this app about a year ago as I typically rent a lake house in Western NY and am curious about the planes I see flying overhead, particularly at night. I have found that I point my phone right at a plane and get no data or its obviously inaccurate, i.e. the app says the plane is at 33,000 feet when I can clearly tell its not. I would recommend you save your money simply because its data is unreliable.

I use this app at EAA airshow and the results are so whack. For instance, several private jets showed they were indian airlines. I want my money back!!!! Do not waste your time and buy

What a waste of $2.99. You just get a blank screen with a bunch of blue boxes with writing in it, there is no way to tell which box belongs to which aircraft. If you try to use your iPhone, you will need superman vision to read the blue boxes. Save your money, use the free app.

The free version still works fine. This version was awesome for a long while but just crashes on opening now. I hope they fix it.

Its one of the most terrible apps fop planes its so confusing

I bought this app several years ago and loved it. It works fine but after an upgrade about a year ago I can no longer read it. The font it too small. When I first bought it I had no trouble reading it. I have complained more than once to no avail. My eyesight is fine. No one I know can read it without a magnifying glass. This could be an excellent app save for this problem.

On iPhone 6+, have no problem reading text and no crashes. Incredibly cool app! Even shows military aircraft and private jets. If you live near flight paths and are curious, this is the app for you! Really Neat! Thanks for making such a cool app!

This app has large icons for the planes. This makes it easy to read on the iPhone 6 screen.

Crashes on start-up. iPhone 5s. iOS 8.2

Feb. 2015 - Worked great when I first bought it, but now it crashes every time I try to start it. Im on an iPhone 5 running IOS 8.1.2. Ive tried the obvious stuff like a forced close and reboot, but it continues to crash. 5-3-2015. Traced issue to location services. Made sure app had location services on "always", and had camera on. Did a full power down & reboot, and it works again.

The app is now locked in the camera mode, and I cant go to the home screen. It was working fine until this happened! Sent a note to support about this, so lets see if they can help.

The plane locations are not always accurate, but mostly they are. It also prompts to be calibrated each time you open it. It would be cool if it auto-calibrated.
