## OpenADSB Reviews in United Kingdom

### ***-- "Help!"
I’ve not been able to see any aircraft. I have even looked at LHR and military sites. Must be something I’m doing wrong
-- NC700Clive, 2024-01-04

### *---- "No Aircraft showing"
App seems to be not showing any aircraft for the last 6hrs, sent email to support but nothing any ideas of a fix? Removed and reinstalled app but still nothing
-- Bitzer01, 2023-04-24

### *---- "Stopped Working"
I have used this App for years and really liked it but for some reason it had stopped working. Possibly an iOS update has affected it so please update the App to address the issue.
-- DougRobertson, 2023-04-24

### ***-- "Stopped working"
Getting a response is not json from a vrs source that used to work.

I can pull the aircraft.json direct using Postman so I don’t think it’s a CORS issue.
-- Gareth S Wright, 2023-04-12

### ****- "Good app with minor issues with selected altitudes."
This is a very good app. But lately I’m finding that most of the ‘selected altitudes’ are wrong. I see aircraft cruising at FL340 which have a selected altitude set to FL70, even though they won’t be descending for quite a few hours yet. When I consult plane Finder, I find that their selected altitudes are correct and do fit in with what should be the case. Not sure what’s going on here.
-- AndyDu10, 2023-01-20

### ***-- "Add correct icon for aircraft"
Please add the correct icon for aircraft so helicopters are shown as such and planes are planes
-- C.I.6, 2021-09-09

### ***** "Works well"
Works better with @mil_scot from twitter
-- ScotMilAir, 2021-08-24

### *---- "April"
This is not good app and wishing I hadn’t purchased. Every time I go into the map and move it , the app closes. I can’t get into settings . Waste of money. Stay with the flight tracker app!
-- mug who bought app, 2021-06-10

### ***** "Plane spotting for grownups"
To date, the most comprehensive aircraft mapping app available. Many more option and configuration menus than similar apps I own. Thank you for making this available. 5 stars.
-- Needles45, 2021-04-24

### ***** "Excellent app"
A lot better than all the free web based sites, only thing missing is ability to toggle on and off for planes and vehicles on the ground
-- Steve6759, 2021-02-01

### *---- "Total waste of money"
Purchased this and all I have is a map of the world. Nothing else showing!
-- Rotondaman, 2020-09-04

### ***** "Notifications"
Love the app, very smooth and intuitive to use. Would be great to be able to set notifications for filters that go from zero returns to single returns, for example tracking single aircraft
-- No point to a nickname, 2020-08-23

### ***** "Better Than Flight Radar 24!!"
I have been a Plane enthusiast for many years and i have used Flight radar 24 for some time,but this app beats it hands down.
  Is it accurate yes! 
I had a group of Eurofighters go over my house and they were displayed on the map,also had a Merlin helicopter going to my local Range and again it was displayed on the map.
 What’s great is it shows all Military,Civilian and emergency aircraft.
  Keep it up guys your app is Brilliant!
 Don’t hesitate to purchase the app its the best out there!
-- 2banff, 2020-06-29

### ***** "KM."
An absolute must if you are a keen aviation tracking freak.
A great addition to Flightradar24  and Planefinder as this app always come up tops. From military to emergency service flights and more you can track them all
Have been using other trackers for years and only just found this one .where have I been .
Keep up the good work
-- Turnhouse, 2020-05-10

### *---- "IOS 13.1.2"
Just completed latest IOS update and App now shows a ‘Response is not JSON’. Now nothing!
-- uuuuuuooooopppp, 2019-10-01

### ****- "Needs tweaking!"
Yes it’s a good app, however, it would be so much better if ALL airline tracks displayed their call signs and flight number and route information as other apps do that use the same data sources, the info is there, it just needs to be displayed.
-- reallyiseverynicknametaken, 2019-09-15

### **--- "Disappointed"
Don’t get me wrong it does everything it describes it will do, but for £6.99 I cannot see what it offers that free website ADS-B Exchange offers. Sorry for a negative Review.
-- Skiddyk2, 2019-08-14

### ***** "Brilliant"
Fantastic app, well worth the money. Much better than any other “flight tracker” app I have tried
-- Oliverb8984, 2019-06-20

### ****- "Binning flight radar"
Because of this app. The only thing I don’t like is it doesn’t seem to show airports/departure-arrival boards the way fl24 does. Do t know if that’s something I’m doing wrong or if it’s a feature that could be added. Really quick app, can only compare to fl24, sorry lol but it is the superior app here. Shows some aircraft that fl24 does not, but fl24 also shows the flight path from take off airport to destination. Something else that could be added possibly. Loving it, well done and keep up the hard work ❤️
-- photoferret1981, 2019-05-27

### ***** "The app is always improving."
Very good app.
-- TL99Treble, 2019-03-11
