## OpenADSB Reviews in United States

### ****- "Why no search button???"
I know you can search an N number in settings but it sure would be nice to have a search button or magnifying glass icon on the main screen so we can search N number there.   Maybe you can add that in an update for us.   Thx .
-- Hyestar, 2024-10-18

### ***** "Great App"
For years, I’ve used different apps to track flights, but I think I’ve finally found the one that’s right for me.

Overall, no lag and no issues. The one time pay is great, rather than a subscription. The ability to differentiate military aircraft vs civilian aircraft is great. My only recommendations would be to track full flights, and to have unique aircraft icons (similar to Flightradar24) for added variety purposes.
-- hcgnkhu, 2024-06-13

### ***** "Great app! No subscriptions. (as long adbsexchange allows it)"
A few suggestions: 1. Would be nice to be able to sync the filters (via iCloud). 2. There are only two options All history/Recent. Could not figure out how to just show the last flight, or for example just last 2 hours. If somebody is doing a lot of touch-and-go, practicing landings, will be nice to see the whole flight.
-- outcoldman, 2024-06-06

### ***-- "Yea this doesn’t track everything"
Just had an a-10 fly by my location by about 2k feet and it didn’t show up on radar. Got it on video, was the coolest 12 seconds of my life
-- 12fpi23, 2024-05-18

### ***** "Best $10 bucks ever paid"
I hate subscription, this is just what I need. I’d love to see a 3D map version like Google Earth
-- 堕世一米八, 2024-01-07

### ***** "Worth every penny!"
I only care about MIL traffic and this by far is the cleanest app to track those. Prefer being able to track all MIL traffic instead of what FR24 currently does on their app which is only 1 service. 

As mentioned below, the one thing I’d love is different icons for the different planes. FR24 has that and it’s helpful.
-- TopGun_photog, 2024-01-06

### ***** "Great app"
As a pilot this app is excellent 

 Be nice to have some additional features, like alerts based on N number or hex, and historic lookup, but must have app for pilot
-- 741XM, 2024-01-03

### **--- "How about some updates?"
If someone pays you for an app, it's expected to be updated. It's been over two years and the app only gets stale over time.  How about an update for paying customers?
-- jlthorpe-C354, 2023-10-14

### ***** "Unmatched data on your phone"
I’ve been using this for years as a corporate pilot and aviation tracker. I can see everything from military aircraft, Airforce One and random private flights that are blocked. The filters are a huge help because I can filter out a dozen or so flights to see if they’re airborne while I’m flying. Very powerful app with filters.
-- Kyles609, 2023-09-05

### ***** "The 10 dollars is worth it!"
Spend the 10 dollars it’s worth it! I mainly use this app to get the registration of private or military aircraft that won’t show up anywhere else and it’s so simple quick and easy to use I love it!
-- Josiah Presberry, 2023-01-14

### *---- "Bugs Bunny (UPDATE) 11-23-22"
Latest version FREEZES and the only “fix” is to reboot my iPhone. Sometimes my iPhone (13 ProMax running iOS 16.1) is difficult to even turn off when this app LOCKS UP. 

I’m not having this problem with any other app on my iPhone.
-- Radar O'Reiley, 2022-11-24

### ***** "Excellent app"
Excellent app that’s fast. I really like the filter by tail feature. There are a few fleets I like to track. I do wish there was a way to see my filtered aircrafts last positions even if they haven’t been airborne for a few days.
-- BLACKROOSTER73, 2022-11-10

### ***** "Suggestion!!"
I use this app to track planes I’m working on (aircraft mechanic) is there away you can set up a notification system when my tracked plane is within a certain distance from my location
-- Tyler Pullen, 2022-11-05

### ***** "Great App"
Lots of customizable options and a stable and well designed app!
-- modernistarchitect, 2022-09-19

### ***-- "Works, but not like the website"
Icons for specific aircraft would be helpful, as well as the link to the aircrafts planespotter page. It’s nice to look in my area and see what type of aircraft are flying without having to tap on them.
-- Herschel Savage, 2022-04-06

### ****- "Nice app, tracking single plane would be great"
App works nicely. It would be great if there was an option to follow a single plane, with auto-panning maps and keeping it centered.
-- ::SP::, 2021-10-04

### ***-- "Needs proper icons!"
A Piper Cub, Bell Jet Ranger, and a B767 all look identical in this app ✈️. It REALLY needs individual icons so you know what you're looking at on the screen. Please implement this feature that so many reviewers request.
-- iphonereviewer#2, 2021-09-07

### ***** "Great for a more advanced UI, Filters"
A nice upgrade from FR24, for most things at least. Love the ability to filter military flights, as well as see details on “blocked” flights that were censored on competitors. 

Only downside is the photos. The app only displays a single photo of the aircraft, and redirects to another app to expand it.
-- ScooterMan26, 2021-08-29

### ***** "Love it!!  Best and smoothest Flight tracker App"
I have a ton of Flight tracker apps on my iPhone but this one takes the win.  Very smooth, customizable and accurate!  Plus it gives a ton of info for not having a monthly subscription!  

Not a complaint but the Only thing I would like to see in a future update.  Have different icons for the aircraft being tracked.  Example, I use your website still sometimes and I like how the KC-135 I’m tracking, the icon is a KC-135.  Helps when looking for something quickly!
-- Chargerf18, 2021-06-18

### ***** "Excellent"
Wow, I’m surprised at the critical nature of some of these reviews.  For safety’s sake, I hope pilots are using approved ATC and GPS tools and not relying on apps to build a VFR plan.  
For the aviation enthusiast you’ll find a lot of tools to filter and drill down on the type of traffic you are seeking and provides a trove of data.  For commercial flights I’ve found routing pairs to be incorrect at times (e.g. listing a flights inbound routing when it’s flying in the reverse direction), but those curious can look it up.   The color-coded altitude markings are helpful without the need to display another label that uses valuable screen space.  I’ve tried to filter commercial flights by using dump1090 filters of A2,A3,A4,A5, which comes close but you'll see see private Gulfstream’s and the like.   Perhaps the Dev can advise on a better method of doing this.  
Because of the filtering options alone this app should be in every enthusiasts toolbox.  I don’t remember if this is a paid app, but the cost is nominal and worth it if so.   I’ve not had Issues with the app crashing as others mentioned.   One enhancement that would be helpful (but likely laborious for the Dev) is to vary the icons according to AC size.
