Comments on Plane Finder - Flight Tracker for Android
★★★★★Alkis Avar· Jul 20, 2026
This is almost perfect. For one thing it does all flight radar does plus even more and has fewer ads, but with an actual modern interface. It's embarrassing that the number one flight tracker looks like it came out in 2010 and never changed. This is just better. Even if you're not an aviation nerd. One small suggestion: maybe add a way to get free premium with ads? Like make the user watch as many ads make the same amount of profit, and get pro for around day, week or month depending on how many ads
★★★★★Randy Lovoy· Jul 2, 2026
L love this app. I use it to track flights of family often. It's fun to see aircraft flying overhead then learning about routes, etc.
★★★★★Dan Lundquist· Jun 21, 2026
This app is honestly probably the best app on the market.\excellent, excellent app. Thank you playing finder
★★★★★James Miller· Jun 30, 2026
Excellent App, always updating arrival times, late or early. And if you want you can also track the live flight path.
★★★★★Dan Spotter86· Apr 6, 2026
Amazing app and great for tracking down planes but this app could be updated with The Special Livery Info on certain airlines like Flight radar 24
★☆☆☆☆Larry Nevinger· Jul 8, 2026
I use the app on limited occasions. Mainly because it is misleading. It tracks aircraft but not drones as promised.
★★☆☆☆Chris Lindley· Jun 2, 2026
Great app but CRIPPLING ads! The tracker runs nice and smooth, pretty easy to navigate - at least on par with the best flight trackers I've used in the past. Where it all falls apart though is with the ads. Now I understand that ads are necessary to help pay for the development - got it. But these ads are FULL SCREEN with no way to minimize or skip / close. Pretty much when an ad pops up you have to close the app and re-launch it, and that just completely ruins the experience for me.
