Plane Finder AR App Reviews

Information is completely inaccurate. Dont know what its reading but it doesnt have ANY relation to whats over my head. Font is impossible to read. Ive resorted to using a magnifying glass to read data only to realise its totally inaccurate.

I enjoy using this app, but I cant help but notice its many flaws. I would say about 15% of the flights shown have some kind of mistake in the information shown. For example, Ive seen planes flying from Dallas to Amarillo and the app lists the flight as Libyan Airlines. After looking up the flight details on another app, it turns out its actually a Southwest flight. Secondly, in crowded airspace, the flight details get overlapped and there is no way to focus on one. It would be great if you could click on the window and it would highlight it for you to see. Ill keep using this app when Im bored but Im hesitant to trust the information displayed.

Well, it worked from Wed. To Sat. That was it. Like others, I noted flights that shouldnt have been within a thousand miles of my location. Not ready for prime time yet, and they shouldnt charge me to be a beta- tester. But the support is prompt and polite.

...all of these types of apps are very inaccurate

Needs some tweeking. The data blocks are large and obscure the viewfinder. If there are multiple aircraft, theres a stack of data blocks but you cant scroll through them all. Move very slowly, the refresh rate lags a little and its easy to just slip right past an aircraft. I dont know if it was a bug or what but when Im near LAX, I dont see any data. Its fun for single aircraft but takes some getting used to. I can see this technology 20 years in the future, being installed in the glass of air traffic control tower cabs and aircraft cockpits, as an aid to situational awareness.

I love this app. I use it a lot when Im out on the deck or out fishing. I its fun to think about the people on the flight and fill in the details based on the origin and destination. Not to mention its got a wow factor that all my friends love and they too have don on to become users as well. Fun little app!

I dont see any reason this app should need to know my location even when Im not using the app. This makes me think the app is more than it seems. Could it be spying on users?
